When did the word mint - to describe something great/cool/excellent etc - go out of use?

What other modern vernacular do we no longer use?

The problem with mint as we know is it spreads everywhere. I keep mine in a pot

Bridlington.

It's still used in the antique trade for certain items.

Not actually antiques but for toy collectors, 'M & B', mint and boxed is highly prized. Coun sales still use 'mint' for the height of perfection.

If someone asks me how things are going, I sometimes answer ‘fab and groovy’. I like to confuse the young people

That’s not in relation to this site though.
