Heh...I guess old habits die hard here in the states. We were still using "man" here when I was a young teen in the late 70s...lol. Of course, the 80's were overtaken by "gnarly", "awesome", "bad" (which means good-go figure), "rad" and "homeboy" LOL.

I must admit that I still tend to say "man" and "awesome" -  the latter being descriptive of my pleasure of the situation. I don't believe I've ever used the terms "rad" or "gnarly" in my life, even tho the late 70's/early 80s were definitely my formative years. I left those terms to the West coast folks. LOL
