Rad

An abbreviation of 'radical'--a term made popular by the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Still primarily used by people on the West Coast who find words like 'cool', 'awesome', and 'tight' to be tired and overused; 'rad' is generally considered to be a much higher praise than the aforementioned superlatives. Also used as a general expression of awe.

"Those are some rad shoes."
"Oh, RAD."

rad

really cool, but in a more subtle way. as opposed to extreme or awesome. one of the highest compliments you can give someone. being rad is like being cool without having to work for it. it's like a natural coolness.

she seems quiet at frist, but she's actually pretty rad when you get to know her.

these pro skaters have it all wrong, it should be less extreme and more rad, like it was back in the day.

Radness

Used to describe all things rad and awesome.

• The word "Radness" derived from the word "rad", which in turn derived from the word "radical".

• This is a 21st generation word, and no mere mortal may speak of such a word in the company of persons who fail to comply with being Rad.

It also happens to be the raddest website on the web: Radness.co.za

"Hey Johnny, you should try some of this pot I jacked from my granny, this shit is pure radness!"

"Man, that site Radness.co.za has some rad shit!"
