Simplified Meaning:

In the 1980s, people used slang in a way that might sound strange today. For example, they would say "bad" to mean something very good or impressive. It's like a code they used among themselves. Imagine you have a friend who says, "That car is bad!" They don't mean the car is in poor condition; they mean it's awesome and cool. This way of speaking shows how language can be playful and change over time. If you hear someone using words in a surprising way, try to understand the context. They might be using slang to express themselves in a fun or unique manner.
