Popular slang terms started entering the lexicon year by year in the 20th century, and it's starting to look like slang may start changing on a monthly basis due to online trends and social media.
But many of those new slang words are unlikely to stick, which is a testament to the staying power of well crafted slang terms like Gold Dig (1926), Snazzy (1931), Burp (1932), Fave (1938), and Duh (1943).
Along the lines of Duh, did you know Doh! made it into the slang lexicon nearly 45 years before Homer Simpson would make the expression even more famous?
That's right- Doh! dates back to 1945 and has roots in radio, which is a pretty Dorky (1970) factoid that will blow the minds of your fellow Nerds (1951)!
Damn, that explains my portly figure. Sigh.
