“Tubular” is from surfer lingo right? It makes a lot of sense when you realize they’re comparing whatever cool thing you’re talking about to a wave like this: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/1mXQaSA3-rE
Radical. Tubular. Bodacious. Gnarly. Basically anything a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle would have said.
I love surfer slang because it’s rooted in a verbose comprehension of the English language. The hyperbole of it brings me joy lol.

18 year old daughter just uttered “gnarly” tonight during a horror movie.
We were shocked!
“gnarly” still exists as a word for convoluted or fouled.
Gnarly is back thanks to Katseye
