I don't know about hip or out of sight, but I've heard groovy used in
footage of I think it was 1920's jazz artists. Probably everybody knows
about groovy, but I remember at the time being shocked the first time I
heard it that the word wasn't invented in the 60's. In more proof that
there is nothing new under the sun, it seems one proposed origin of the
word "O.K." lies in a fad in the early 1800's where it was, well, cool
to misspell words, similar to today. One legend has it that "all
correct" was deliberately misspelled as "oll korrect" then abbreviated
to O.K. It entered widespread usage after it was picked up by the NYT
(the power of newspapers). I recently learned that today it's been
further abbreviated to "K". I guess deliberately misspelling words
(they are pretty creative) would be (here goes, I'll do it) K if it
wasn't in an overall context of a general dumbing down. "K" looks
strange, sitting there all alone, doesn't it? I haven't been able to
bring myself to use "K" in texting, and I don't have a qwerty keyboard
on my dumb phone, leaving me one more letter to painstakingly plunk out.
Maybe now having taken it on its maiden voyage I'll start using it.

In response to my "[Eric Burdon] *does* look about 16. I think it's the
haircut - to say nothing of the [choice of appropriate adjective left as
an exercise for the reader] suit.", on 8-Oct-11, at 12:37 AM, Andy

fashions of today are going to look so wonderful in 50 years. Actually,
I read that fashions today change not by the season, but every two
weeks, literally, to stimulate consumption. It's funny that those suits
were in 1964.
Actually, the adjective I was searching for as I wrote that was 'fab'
(which I subsequently serendipitously found in the title of a book on
the Beatles and fashion which I saw in a store window - the Beatles on
the cover were wearing suits almost identical to those worn by the
Animals in the video under discussion above). I had not intended to be
negatively critical at all.
But I couldn't for the life of me remember that word - 'cool' kept
getting in the way, and i was sure that using it to describe mid 60's
fashion would have been an anachronism. Ditto (I think) for 'hip' and
'outasight' and 'groovy'- my feeling is that these also came much later
(I'm willing to be corrected by anyone finding appropriate quotations).
