Ok, so it isn't exactly a dictionary - more like a list of 80s words and phrases. We started this list with the intention of giving definitions, but when it was all said and done - this list is HUGE! Maybe someday when we're feeling ambitious we'll add definitions and sample sentences. Until then, if you have a question regarding the meaning of any of these items please e-mail us at the address at the bottom of the page!
Also please note we mean no disrespect to anyone in putting any of these words on the page. This is simply a list of words and phrases we know were used in the 80s, for better or for worse....just enjoy!
