Me personally? I’ve become much less tolerant of sexist humor. Back in the day, cracking a joke at women’s expense was pretty common when I was a teen. As I’ve matured and become aware to the horrific extent of toxicity and bigotry pervading all tiers of our individualistic society, I’ve come to see how exclusionarly and objectifying that sort of ‘humor’ really is, and I regret it deeply.
Tubular.
I’ve never encountered anything I would describe as “tubular.” Except maybe tubes. It just doesn’t feel right as general slang.
Haha, I grew up on the California coast and surfed a lot in my youth. The only slang from that era I still use is “bitchen” and I say it as an anachronism, like “groovy”.
Sometimes I say “bitchen camero” in reference to a car I like. That’s from a song that stuck in my memory. Comes from a punk garage band in the early 90’s; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxKt_Wc0m1g

How do you feel about “hella?” I find it hilarious how some people in the southern cities absolutely hate it for some reason. But I was born in the Bay Area and grew up in the Central Valley. Felt like we got all the slang from the whole state. I also always latched onto that stereotypical surfer brah stuff. Everyone made fun of it, but I thought it was the coolest. Even the “get pitted, bro, so pitted” guy sounds super cool to me lol
The Dead Milkmen’s Bitchin Camero is from the 1980s. Im still trying to find any audio of the Doors cover band The Crystal Shit.
A bitchin’ waterslide is tubular.
Didn’t that come from surfers for whom a tubular wave would be good?
Not even certain kinds of bells?
Oh god people used to play an hour long version of Tubular Bells in my school’s dining hall
