I liked the Legion's future slang, "grife", "sprock" or "sprocking", and "nass".

I think Englehart had Beast call someone "boychick" a couple of times. "Bah!" needs to make a comeback. I was at work a few weeks ago and I used blasted (as in that blasted ________ ) instead of damned or what have you as there were people around, and someone out of the blue looked at me and said I haven't heard that since I read comic books as a kid, which was funny in a surreal kind of way because I picked up the phrase form comics I read as a kid -M "Blasted interloper!" Nobody says "interloper" anymore, either. FOOLS! "Fool": the OTHER four-letter "F word"!:-)

There's one that used to appear in some Stan Lee comics from time to time back in the Silver Age, and that's the phrase 'yaybo'. I've seen Iceman say it at least twice, if memory serves. I've never seen or heard it any other context, so I guess it was just Stan trying to be 'hip'? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's a good one. I thought that MIGHT just be a made-up take off of "yay" since - like you - I'd never heard it before.

I can't remember if it was in an Archie comic or Patsy Walker...."Golly-jinks"!

EC introduced a lot of then-contemporary Yiddish slang-words to comics in the 1950s, like "furslugginer." Stan kept some of these in play during the 1960s, but hardly anyone kept the Yiddishisms going in the 1970s. I think Englehart had Beast call someone "boychick" a couple of times. "Bah!" needs to make a comeback. I've tried several times to bring back "Bah!", but it always receives a chilly reception from the family.
Bah!

Bah!
You need to follow up with a humbug! Especially at this time of year! -M

You need to follow up with a humbug! Especially at this time of year! -M I do, of course, but the rest of the year I just go with "Bah!". And get dirty looks.

Having just read the Tintin book, L'Île Noir, I wonder - does anyone in France or Belgium still say "Sapristi!" Did anyone in Quebec ever say it?

One that always baffled me was "Goombye please!" from some old Archie comics, usually said when a character was leaving (or trying to leave).
I just did a web search on it, and turned up this on The Phrase Finder:

I just did a web search on it, and turned up this on The Phrase Finder: Was Frank Doyle writing Archie in the '50s? For many years afterward, his dialogue had kind of a "hodgepodge of decades" feel to it. Not unlike Roy Thomas mixing hep with groovy, plus "what kids are saying these days".

I love and sometimes even use the early Judge Dredd made-up slang from 2000AD, like "Drokk!" I prefer 'Frell!' myself (from Farscape). Nothing like making up your own swear-words so you can use them freely on TV. You guys are talking total felgercarb!
