'Groovy' meant that something was wonderful, often in a mellow or accepting way.

To 'rap' originally meant to have an honest discussion about a painful or embarrassing topic; it evolved into its current meaning (spoken-word lyrics set to music) via the idea that the original rappers were expressing their anger and frustration for everyone to hear.

The word 'nerd' was originally a Dr. Seuss invention, but it took on the additional meaning of someone who was awkward and uncool thanks to the TV show "Happy Days."
