      Shortend form of the word [radical], a 100% slang word from the 1980s, used mostly in the past by people from [Generation-X] (people born in the late 60s early 70s) to describe something thats cool.

      Apperantly lots teens today are starting to use it as well, most of m probably dont even know that it is a 80s slang word and if they do know, they probably are pretending that its something of their generation.

                    really [cool], but in a more subtle way. as opposed to [extreme] or [awesome]. one of the highest compliments you can give someone. being rad is like being cool without having to work for it. its like a natural coolness.
