Radical. Tubular. Bodacious. Gnarly. Basically anything a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would have said.

God its hard to remember but yes all of those were said completely seriously, not a drip of sarcasm or tongue in cheek. Now it’s hard thinking that anyone would say tubular without being completely ironic
