I'm sure it was full of hip expressions.

I want that glossary so I can start using the lingo. I will be retroactively hip.

Just, like, say "man" a lot, man. That'll, like, do the job.

Throw in a copacetic now and then.

mybillcrider said...

Yeah, like, everything is copacetic, man.

I have a feeling that Lucy Show episode where Lucy and Viv go to some sort of Beatnik/Hippie mashup club on Sunset Strip is about as accurate as this book.

I hope you're not implying that Maynard G. Krebbs wasn't a realistic portrait of a beatnik.
