"mits"

 

jive turkey

Excuse me, here's one you hear ,but what in the hell does it mean?=="my neck of the woods".

 

neck of the woods

[From NECK, narrow stretch of forest.]

Originally (mid-1800s) alluding to a forest settlement, this colloquial term is now used more loosely, for urban as well as rural locales.

 

'bodacious'

Apparently that means bold and audacious. Seemed to be a popular word in the 80s.

And what about 'sexual harassment'? People went absolutely coo-coo with that phrase in the 90s.

Come to think of it, you don't hear coo-coo too much anymore.
