all those grand and glorious hairstyles women of that era publicly sported - without shame or embarrassment, evidently - only to find themselves forever running scared (especially from new husbands, new boyfriends or partners) of any or all damning photo evidence of such "unfortunate fashion choices" ever seeing the light of day.
New Girlfriend : Ha-ha ! Your mother showed me your high school graduation photo the other day. Boy, did you sport QUITE the mullet back in the day ! What - making certain your football helmet fit nice and snug ? LOL
Me : Sez you ! Have you forgotten what YOU looked like ? Judging from YOUR grad photo, I thought you were one of the Bangles or maybe Sara Jessica Parker's stunt double from 'Square Pegs'.
New Girlfriend : Eeeeeewwwwwww !!!!!! You actually SAW it ?! OMFG - I thought I had burned every known copy of that horrid pic ! Now you'll probably break up with me knowing I once ever looked like that ! I'm cursed, Cursed, CURSED !!!
Me : Big haired ladies of the 'eighties ! LOL

Slang term used in the service industry in North America to describe any large group of Asian tourists.
That group of Crazy Eighty Eights just sat themselves in the Houston Room and need a place to put all their cameras.

-Also called OMES.
"Oh my eighties sitcom!" is a term meaning "oh my god!"
However, OMES is usually said when something mind-numbingly sweet or heroic happens, derived from eighties' sitcoms which almost always had a happy ending, or good ultimately triumphs over evil.
Can also be used to express sarcasm.
Star Trek: The Next Generation is a good example of OMES, where Picard almost always finds a way to ultimately defeat the bad guy... but that's another story altogether.

Trixie: It was so sweet... Rob asked Ellie out after having a crush on her for three whole weeks!
Delaney: Oh My Eighties Sitcom!
Sammy: And then, at the last minute, Mary Sue managed to save the day!

Also called the 1984 Syndrome (Nineteen Eighty-Four Syndrome) and 1984 Effect (Nineteen Eighty-Four Effect), it is named after the George Orwell Novel "1984". It is where one believes that there is both no individualism and independent thinking because it is being suppressed by the government (Big Brother in 1984) that is controlling them. They also think that they are constantly being watched and monitored by the government through the camera, causing a lack of privacy. It also causes them to believe that language is limited (Newspeak) so that they don't have individualism and independent thoughts. All of this causes them to be isolated from one another and causes self-censorship.
The symptoms include Hyperawareness, Anxiety, Paranoia, Hypervigilance, Self-Censorship, Conformity, Distrust, Social Isolation, Cognitive Dissonance, Confusion, and Perceptual Distortion. In order to get the 1984 Delusion (if it were to exist), then there would have to be one or multiple of these effects: Pervasive Surveillance, Authoritarian Governance, Propaganda and Indoctrination, Fear, Punishment, Limited Privacy, Autonomy, Social Pressure, and Informants.

Man 1: For some reason, my friend won't talk to me. He doesn't speak, he is scared all the time, he is hyperaware, he thinks that the government for some reason which he calls "Big Brother", is watching him, he thinks that there are cameras everywhere, he is always alone by himself, and he even doesn't have or speak any thoughts out of his mouth. Do you know the explanation that causes this specific behavior?
Therapist: A-ha, then he is suffering from something called the "1984 Delusion (Nineteen Eighty-Four Delusion)", also called the "1984 Syndrome" or "1984 Effect". It causes people to think that they are under control by the government and have no freedom in anything, including thinking, speaking, or even language and individualism.
Guy 1: Oh my god! That's so horrifying!
