25+ Weird Slang Terms That Were Hugely Popular in Past Decades

In the past, ‘vazey’ was slang for stupid or ignorant. Originating in British English during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, ‘vazey’ conveyed a derogatory perception of someone lacking intelligence or understanding. We can almost hear someone with a British accent saying that!

The term likely derived from the dialectical word ‘vaze’, meaning to bungle or mishandle, suggesting incompetence or foolishness. Whether used humorously or with disdain, ‘vazey’ characterized individuals deemed slow-witted or dim. If you ask us, we should start using this word again. It has a nicer sound than ‘stupid.’
