“Swag” and “YOLO” — two overused words in the everyday vocabulary of the average American youth.

The repetition and incessant usage of a term or phrase can make it stale and remove the entertainment value it once had, which caused us to incorporate it into our language in the first place. Nobody wants to hear “swag” or “YOLO” in every other sentence. Like the old saying goes, everything in moderation.

We all want to have terms we can use that connect us to our friends, keep our language fresh and make our friends laugh or smile. I have dug up the metaphoric time capsule of words and have recovered some wonderful, forgotten gems. Not only can we use them, but maybe with continued usage we can revive some of these colorful terms and phrases.

1. Passé

The perfect term to start with is “passé,” because it essentially refers to something that is outdated, or has lost its appeal. An example of usage would be, “American Idol is so passé.” This term is a quick snippet that easily rolls off the tongue. Rather than saying something is “in” or “out,” it is much more creative to say that something is passé.

For those that like to be on the cutting edge, this term is essential, because it can quickly communicate what has had its time in the spotlight and moved on.

How about the Beverly Hillbillies?

I know it's not the same thing as 土豪. But that's a term Americans would understand immediately.
