I'm still a tad confused here. From reading the rules, it seems that we are supposed to think up our own original words. But there seems to be a mixture of posts in this thread. Some are original words and some are actual phrases used in the 80s. Which is it supposed to be? I would assume we would have to make up our own words because posting already existing words/phrases doesn't call for much creativity.

I was wondering the same thing, FindYourGrail. Just to be safe, I did both.

I made more original ones because I figured those were the ones you were supposed to make.

The days of 80s culture are all contained in a few simple words but only one has been selected to define the era of big hair, neon spandex, and the Rubik's cube.

After much deliberation, The winner of the “Define the 80’s” contest is Gil Varod who will be attending the OPENING NIGHT OF THE WEDDING SINGER tomorrow at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre.

And the Winning 80’s Word is…..

Word: to Bueller

I can totally Bueller that.
