Yeah we did use that slang. But not as much as Paulie Shore made it out to be. Man to think its been over 17 years. Dude i am pre historic. lol
its been awhile- so many films milked the surf talk back then- bill & ted, tmnt, wayne's world, etc. i caught encino man at the show when i was 13- now im 29, where did the time go?? lol
and i see pauly shore has 10 up on me. i thought hed be pushing his 50s now, he looks terrible lol

That's probably more Gino than anything,lol
shareEverybody thinks they can do valley slang. But Pauly Shore turned it into an art form.
sharethe 90s were totally jive man...
shareThat isnt an exageration. I was born in '86, so I was pretty young when he was in his prime, and havent seen this movie in forever, but I turned it on today for a few min and was shocked at how effing hilarious he was just in one or so scenes. I guess there's a few others who seem time-stamped to an era which is now looked down upon, but if you're not uptight, you can really watch him weirding out and get some laughs
shareI'm in my very-late 20's and the 90's were my "teen decade". The only slang I used then was "as if" (which Dave's sister does use in this movie), Dude and whatever (made MOST popular by the movie "Clueless" (FYI, I attended high school in Southern Jersey, and our school was a carbon copy of Cher and Ty's school.....) I still use "Dude" to this day...as in "Not cool, dude" or "dude, you're awesome". And, I'm female, by the way. Just figured I'd out my two cents in there. Loved this movie, actually. Has a lot to do with Brendan Fraser.... I think he's one of the most versatile and talented actors in Hollywood today, and I think he played this role very well. (And, yes, he is gorgeous! He and my boyfriend have the same brow and eyes, something I hadn't noticed at first, but, just about DIED when I realized....)
Stop the world and let me off!
This feels like an 80's movie. It's a guilty pleasure.
shareI still use DUDE quite a lot
Lets put a SMILE on that face!
Me too! The whole vibe of this film is 80s and I love it!
On topic, in the 90s, I lived in the western US, but not California, and so we didn't speak that way. "Dude" and "aw c'mon man" a lot, but nothing like what Pauly was doing here. That was seriously artform linguistics.
I have to admit that I probably did use the word "dude" a lot back than, but that's probably the only one out of the words you listed.
