Shibby!

An exclamation of genuine enthusiasm popularized by the 2000 stoner comedy "Dude, Where's My Car?" that somehow escaped the movie and infected real-world vocabularies. It's the verbal equivalent of a fist pump, deployable in any situation requiring positive vibes. Think "awesome" but with more nostalgic early-2000s energy.

waddup dawg?

A casual, street-inflected greeting combining 'what's up' with 'dawg' (friend/buddy), typically exchanged between people trying to sound cooler than they actually are. This Y2K-era salutation peaked somewhere around 2003 but refuses to completely die. Using it today is either ironic nostalgia or evidence you're desperately clinging to a bygone era.
