Have you been watching “Good Times”?
We didn’t go around saying dynamite either.

Social media didn't exist, it would have be horribly worse had there been instantaneous meme propagation back then

BackyardShaman · 61-69, M

I had forgotten about those😂😂

Just the clichés of the days.

From the military during Vietnam, ‘jive ass mfer’

we all tried to be black. It didn't work.

Did they ? I was there and it was just slang that some people used occasionally. People have always used slang terms, still do.

Every era has its slang, I imagine. This song popularized the first term…
