Greaser slang

Greaser slang refers to the unique vocabulary used by working-class youth, particularly in the 1950s and 1960s, often associated with subcultures like the "greasers." It includes colorful terms for people, actions, and objects—such as "hep" for cool, "daddy-o" for a friend, or "bop" for dancing. This slang reinforced group identity and differentiated members from mainstream society. While some words have faded, many remain part of nostalgic references to that era and style. Overall, it reflects a distinctive urban dialect used to express camaraderie, attitude, and cultural identity among young subcultures.
