Gnarly

Gnarly is another one of my favorite words. I first heard it in high school - about the same time I heard the word hassle. Gnarly means extreme. Gnarly can be extremely good, extremely dangerous, extremely crazy, extremely nasty, extremely difficult, or extremely anything. Gnarly can mean the same as awesome, tubular, radical, wicked, tight, amazing, groovy or righteous. Gnarly also bring to my mind mature oak trees (one of my favorite trees) or arthritic knuckles. Gnarly is gnarly, dude!
