The first time I ever heard the phrase breadcrumbing, a label for sending flirty yet noncommittal text messages —bread crumbs! Struggling to survive the dating scene in millennial Los Angeles , my friends and I have all been subjected to a dreaded, "Heyyyyy bb, gotta raincheck this time but def wanna chill soon.
This got me thinking about dating slang of decades past, like going steady, or making love. Figuring out how changes in language reflect bigger cultural shifts is my personal obsession as a linguist—and the basis of my new book, Wordslut: A Feminist Guide to Taking Back the English Language.

No slang to go along with it. Only after the dating process became more loosey-goosey did we come up with fun words to narrate these wacky new experiences. As proof, check out a timeline of dating slang from 80 years ago to today below.

Back then, it was reflective of a general expectation to downplay your emotions as much as possible. Saying bummed out was a way to describe feeling sad about a breakup without seeming too worked up about it.
