Other than the lame "valley" slang like bitchen, radical, tubular and gag me with a spoon I can't really think of any slang that I've ever stopped using. My nephew says most of the same stuff I said when I was his age 25 years ago. Probably a Bay Area thing.

I remember when I was 6 or 7, a little neighborhood girl and I used to say, "That's tough!" (meaning, "That's cool!") lol There probably are more that I'm forgetting.

MASHIN' as in "That shit is mashin'!"--music sounds good

"I put that on the set (or the homies, or my mom)"--I'm telling the truth

"on-the-4-reala-my-nigga"(said as one quick word)--I'm telling the truth

"You can get the duck sick"(taken from Compton's Most Wanted)--Suck my dick

"One time"--police

And then there was the fact that I grew up in a "blood" neighbohood...you couldnt say anything that started with or sounded like a "C" so...

Crazy--Brazy

Cool--Bool

Kick It--Bick It

and on and on...

One of my boys used to take it to the nth degree. He would go to the taco shop and order a "carne asada burrito with sour cream and cheese" but he said

"A Barney Abada Burrito with Bower Bream and Bees please"

The Mexican chick behind the counter was like "Que?"

blunt music She has robes and she has monkeys, lazy diamond studded flunkies.... music blunt

And I forgot about the gay slang....

read....talk shit about somebody to their face

read on the sly....talk shit about something in general in somebody's face but it really applies to them because they're into that shit also

fish...a feminine gay guy

real fish...a woman

snow queen....a white gay guy

Miss Lisa....the police

What's your tea....what are you, butch, fish, trade, etc.

FauxReal

I didn't use all these, I used some, others were used around me often

Dope

Fresh

Scrilla

On the real

Chumped (Basically when someone "got told"...they got chumped. I might bring this back.)

C.P. aka Cootie Protection...cuz if someone with you farted in public (or something else nasty), they had 'cooties'. So cootie protection was a must.

See ya! ("Wouldn't wanna be ya" is optional here) Emphasis on the see.
