"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. Today it is barely known and lies almost completely forgotten amongst all the other odd words thought up, used and then thrown away and only used by weird people that can't let go. 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.

What is a slang word for feet?

Dogs, as a slang word for feet, is in question. One member asked that the question be referenced. I can only do so through personal experience. As a 73-year-old woman, I heard the term used often in my yonger days. Always, as I recollect, the term dogs was used to express how your feet felt after a long day of shopping. For example: "Whew, my dogs are barking!" I was around when pointed toe shoes made their appearance in the 50s and perhaps it was those foot killers that inspired women to use that expression.
