IRADO, CARA! = GNARLY, DUDE!

(adj) used to describe anything really far out and amazing, not necessarily lovely; an extraordinary stunt, or event.  A word that is overused by the cast of Laguna Beach. It means crazy, rad, totally awesome. A slang term for something extreme. Used in bad and good cases. Originated from the word gnarled - grotesque, yet awesome.
Original from 70's surfspeak - to describe waves that are violently breaking without the form that would render them more rideable. Can also describe less than ideal females.
- These kooks have no idea what GNARLY is. Gnarly is when you've gone beyond radical, beyond extreme, it's balls out danger, or perfection, or skill or all of that combined.
