The popular image of a typical California speaker often conjures up images of the so-called Valley girls popularized by the 1982 hit song by Frank and Moon Zappa, or "surfer-dude" speech made famous by movies such as "Fast Times at Ridgemont High". While many phrases found in these extreme versions of California English from the 1980s may now be considered passé, certain words such as "awesome", "totally", "for sure", "harsh", "gnarly", and "dude" have remained popular in California and have spread to a national, even international, level.
