most of the things you see in the movies are concentrated and mainly from the urban centres (back then)
pop culture trends were stronger in the cities - outside of them it was pretty much business as usual .. or it was.
that's changed now because of the exposure given by the media/internet/etc
back in the 60's and 70's i lived in a small town .. you didnt see hippies or other pop culture extremes there - just in the larger cities.
then again i was never one to use popular phrases either. didnt then, dont now.
its kind of the opposite of extreme accents.
in most cities - people talk fairly the same - but when you get into more rural areas - the regional accents/slang are used heavily
