"Cowabunga" shouldn't have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.

Wow. I totally thought it was just a Ninja Turtles thing. Thanks for that info.

Ninja Turtles got it from 60's surfer slang (since that's how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.
