Catchphrases, Expressions & Slogans of The 50's - 60’s – 70’s – 80’s

Here you will find a large assortment of the best known (or long forgotten) slogans, jargons, catchphrases and expressions and of the fifties, sixties, seventies and eighties (and a few into the 90’s). Some came from TV shows and commercials. Some are actually symbols or hand gestures. Most were passing fads of long lost pop culture. A select few even actually stuck around or came back after skipping a generation. They were likely, but not limited, to be found on T-shirts, posters, bumper stickers, buttons, plackards – or doodled on school book covers, bedroom doors, closets, walls, high school yearbooks, etc…..I’m sure you get the idea. See how many of these you remember. There are probably a few more that you can think of ….. as I’m sure these will bring back memories of school days, summer fun, bored minds and mischevious adventures. Enjoy!!
