  • "Just another Misty" - reference to the movie with a psycho woman who repeatedly requested a disc jockey play the same song "Play Misty for me..." -- Just another Misty meant judging someone as acting psycho especially in romance/about a boyfriend

A lot of slang were phrases adopted from the leading Rock 'n Roll bands and Ballad singers (ex. Jim Croce). After Croce was killed in an accident, for a time people would say, "That's a Croce" to indicate something that, sadly (very sadly), had come to an end.

There was also the (now bland) slang of the sub-culture world of drug use.
