"Made in the shade" is a slang term that means to have everything easy or under control, to be successful or lucky without too much effort. It was commonly used in the 1950s to convey a sense of smooth sailing or good fortune.

What is a 50's slang word that is equivalent to groovy?

The 50's word that would fit "groovy" as in "cool" or "awesome" today would be probably "boss" or a cool place would be "fat city" That shirt is boss cuz. Your house is Fat City, i love the 400 car garage. That's probably more of an early 60s term. A more 50ish term might be "keen" or "neato."


Is dadeo slang for something?

Here is what the Urban Dictionary says about it: daddio '50s version of what dude is now.

Daddio is a form of the word "Daddy".


What were the slang from the 1950s?

Oh, but there is so much. Asking this question is like asking about the slang from now and expecting to get a four word answer. And even in the 50s, even without the internet or cable or, really, anything that would provide mass transmission of, really, much of anything other than via the simplest airwaves--still, still language changed as it does now, at a rapid rate. Anyway, one of the best places to find your answer would be: Among which, under only the letter T, I found: Tank - A large sedan (usually driven by parents) That's close - Something wrong or not true Think Fast - Usually said right before someone threw something at you Threads - Clothes Tight - Good friends Total - To completely destroy, most often in reference to a car and, of course, there is far more under the other letters. Not only that, but there are more slang sites to explore if you only, you know, do it.
