    “Cowabunga” shouldn’t have been a mystery to them, at least, because it originates from Howdy Doody in 1949.

      Wow. I totally thought it was just a Ninja Turtles thing. Thanks for that info.

        Ninja Turtles got it from 60’s surfer slang (since that’s how Michelangelo speaks) and gave it new life for a few years.
