The 60’s. It was a time of political controversy, rebellion, protest marches, bare feet, and flower power. From the dust of the 60’s turmoil rose a new cultural lifestyle with a new breed of people: We called them Hippies.
They were children of peace who criticized middle class values, rebelled against established institutions and were against the Vietnam War. They were a new and liberated class of people who gave preference to freedom, love, and peace. They were set apart from others by the way they looked, how they thought, and how they spoke.
There emerged a language that they alone understood and this too helped set them apart from the rest of society. Below is a list of unique words that made the language of the Hippy their very own:
• Far out: If something was far out, it was better than groovy. “Pete’s a real far out guy!”
• Dude: A dude was a geek of the 60’s. “Pete’s brother is a dude.”
• Drag: A drag was anything boring. “Do you know Pete’s brother? That dude’s a drag.”
• Dig: To understand. “Do you dig what I’m saying dude?” “I dig it!”
• Peace Out: Goodbye. “I’m going to split, peace out brother.”
• Threads: Your clothes. “Pete’s brother’s threads are far out for a dude.”
• Hang Loose: Don’t get your tail in a knot, relax. “I know Pete’s brother is a drag but hang loose until he splits.”
• Brother: Any good person or a friend was your brother. “That brother’s no drag.”
• Gut Wadding: Fast food was called gut wadding. “Come on Pete, let’s scarf some gut wadding at the burger joint.”
Ah, the 60’s. If you were cool, you were hip. Bellbottom jeans were in, torn and frayed jeans, tie dye shirts, love beads, head bands, granny dresses, granny glasses, sandals, crocheted hats and belts, ankle bells, and bare feet were all part of the Hippy life style. Where are they now?
