Besides the words that are allocated to particular time periods such as "groovy" was in the 60s there are also regional words that come into our lexicons because of geographical practices. When I lived in the South carbonated beverages were called soda or Coke but in Chicago it was called pop or soda pop. Neither of those words are common where I live now. (Kansas City). <br /><br />As far as words that give hints to the time of a story, the technology references would be a give away. Records, 8 tracks,cassettes, CDs, DVDs, and downloads are all references that give a timeline marker.

But when I returned to the US after having lived in Europe for almost 30 years, I found that folks where I live had changed (or forgotten) how to pronounce lots of common words. Examples: asked = axed and the adjective "blessed" is pronounced like the verb "blessed."

We joke that I'm showing my age. That being said, I've caught the previous generation using some terms that are taboo because they are now racist terms!
