* Mid 50's to mid-60's beatnik/hipster slang. Somewhat equivalent to today's "dude" or "man" but with a much cooler zen-bohemian and/or streetwise hipster attitude.
In North America the 50s ended in 1963 in the opinion of my peers. As our world changed so did the slang.
Here is what the Urban Dictionary says about it: daddio '50s version of what dude is now. Today it is barely known and lies almost completely forgotten amongst all the other odd words thought up, used and then thrown away and only used by weird people that can't let go. Daddio is a form of the word "Daddy".
An apostrophe takes the place of missing letters or numbers. Since it is an abbreviation of 1950s it should be '50s music.
Oh, but there is so much. Asking this question is like asking about the slang from now and expecting to get a four word answer. And even in the 50s, even without the internet or cable or, really, anything that would provide mass transmission of, really, much of anything other than via the simplest airwaves--still, still language changed as it does now, at a rapid rate. Anyway, one of the best places to find your answer would be: Among which, under only the letter T, I found: Tank - A large sedan (usually driven by parents) That's close - Something wrong or not true Think Fast - Usually said right before someone threw something at you Threads - Clothes Tight - Good friends Total - To completely destroy, most often in reference to a car and, of course, there is far more under the other letters. Not only that, but there are more slang sites to explore if you only, you know, do it.

Dogs, as a slang word for feet, is in question. One member asked that the question be referenced. I can only do so through personal experience. As a 73-year-old woman, I heard the term used often in my yonger days. Always, as I recollect, the term dogs was used to express how your feet felt after a long day of shopping. For example: "Whew, my dogs are barking!" I was around when pointed toe shoes made their appearance in the 50s and perhaps it was those foot killers that inspired women to use that expression.

If you mean the slang usage of cool, meaning good or interesting or "with it," it became common with the mainstreaming of jazz and particularly the beatnik movement of the 1940s and '50s.

The famous American author, Damon Runyon, wrote about New York's Broadway and underworld characters in his many stories about life in the 30s, 40s, and 50s. His characters had interesting nicknames or monikers, like Benny the Dip, and Harry the Horse. My guess is that it is a slang combination of the word " monogram " and " marker " or gambler's IOU. Perhaps, the word was coined by Runyon himself.
