BYB in 'various' thread made me think of this. I was in my teens in the 70's and remember some of the terminology and expressions used during those hippie years. The English ones I remember are:

Peace man (self explanitory)
Solid (meant something was all right, cool)

Anything else folks?

I'm tempted to ransack my rapidly-calcifying brain cells for some examples of 60's-speak, but although I have many fond memories of that notable era (I was in my 20's), I'd just as lief forget the linguistic parts.
