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.

I have been reading "Do You Believe in Magic" by Annie Gottlieb and what I don't remember, the book reminds me. I was only a child during the "Summer of Love" and so, in Annie's words am a "second waver" Here are a couple more I've jotted down so the grey hairs won't feed on them.
Don't trust anyone over thirty.
Go with the flow.
Tune in, turn on. drop out.
Are you on the bus, or off the bus?

This whole post is rather risque, so I've whited it.
Wordwind gives
"Blow this joint" (meaning to leave, not to inhale)
Now without referring to what we're not referring to when did blow come to mean ... well ... the opposite?

Lady Penelope...who just happened to drive a Rolls Royce with the number plate FAB 1,
who and which were mentioned on the UK Channel 4 news yesterday evening!! In a news item on the introduction of cameras to record, decipher, and look up the number plate in the Vehicle database to see if the car's owner has paid the Road Fund Tax. UK pays ~$160 per annum for a normal car, less if it is a small engine. The number plate usually stays with a car for life, though one can buy a valid but more appropriate one if it is available (e.g. H1 ROD), but one has to buy a licence each year.
I think (I missed the start of the article) the police were publicising the new facility/threat with a mention of Lady Penelope's Rolls Royce, but the article pointed out that her car was pre-1970 and so pays no Road Fund Tax - another quirk of UK law to encourage classic car owners who only drive the vehicles on rare occasions.

Yes, and they didn't even mention the penalties for unlicensed wooden puppets from the Andersons' animatronic studio found driving the pre-1970 Roller, either

Yeah, but they were much smaller. Hippolyta I believe they were called.
