Late 70s and 80s slang, adj. As groovy and as it gets. Too cool to be just a passing fad, like saying tubular turned out to be.
Derived from a way cool 1973 album, titled Tubular Bells, by Mike Oldfield.
Vals picked up the word and that was the death of saying tubular. If it weren't for so many Vals saying, like tubular that other people associated it with Valspeak, people wouldn't have become afraid to continue saying tubular when Valspeak went out of style.
Even now, Peeps are still grooving to Tubular Bells, and they figured out by the 80s that it wasn't just a passing fad, so anything groovy enough to outlast a fad became tubular. It's too bad saying tubular wasn't tubular.

The colloquially British spelling of the word "honor", which is derived from the Latin "honor". Blame it on Their Majesties. It's Their English.
The spelling honour is some times used by people from countries outside Britain as well, if they are desperate to make the point that they are not American.

A 4-wheel drive vehicle that says "Jeep" on it because the manufacturer had the right to put the word "Jeep" on it.
Bumper stickers that say "My other car is..." don't count.
If it says Ford, Chevy, Toyota, Suzuki, or (snigger) Subaru on it, it is not a Jeep! Stop calling it what it isn't.
