rad. as in a conjunction of radical, which is also a slang term no longer in use.
people look at me real weird when tell them the cool thing they just told me is ‘rad’
Still use it, unironically, along with things like "righteous."
I like taking what I like from various ways of speaking, until mine is my own. Don't let anyone take that away from you. :p
I seem to recall hearing Brennan Lee Mulligan saying it quite a bit in Dimension 20 and it made me giggle.
Seriously? as far as i was aware that's a perfectly normal thing to say?
