EC "hip" list

[TheSurgeon]

Hey man, dig this cool list, from Mad #20 in 1955! I flipped when I saw this and thought I would post this as it only takes a couple of ticks, and no need to lay down any big Georges. If you don't dig this, my man, you must be a turkey, not some krazy kat like me. Well, I'm gonna scarf down some snacks then go nod. Later...

Ya know, what surprises me most is the slang on the list that is actually still in use to this day.

That amazes me as well. I have to say, my favorite one is "Man, The" = Stan Kenton. Those EC folks had a true, strong cultural influence at that time, and their material gives me, born in '66, a feel for what it was like to experience that era.
