I like the Oliver Twist thing where snitching on somebody is called peaching on them

I appreciate that "rad" is holding on in a semi ironic way

'Rad' obviously

The main problem with 'rad' is its association with radfem, who are not rad

You know, I have a couple of these I'm trying to bring back and for some reason, I'm blanking...

though when you say "rad" that is not what comes to mind, so... there's that?

radfem always just makes me think of fallout radscorpions

I've never even heard of radfem so I'm obviously out of the loop. I know the scorpions though.

Radfems are a branch of feminism that's mostly about being a dick to trans women

what I'm saying is that that's so fringe most people won't make that association

that's more TERFs, but many or even most radfems are TERFs by politics if not identification, these days, so

'Far out' definitely is still in use, but maybe not as a positive
