  • Summary

  • Dude! Like, that’s sooooooo awesome! Whatever! Talk to the hand! Lit! As if! Let’s bounce! Word!

    It’s all about the slang this week (the 90's and otherwise) and how it changes from cohort to cohort and generation to generation, much like in niche cultures but in a more relatable way. We also examine how not knowing what a certain slang word is can quickly date you or just really confuse you. Test your proficiency by clicking HERE.

    We’ll reminisce on the slang of the GenX generation (word to our fellow 90s peeps!) and question some we’ve never heard of or didn’t use very often (like “dip”, “chillax”, “thingy”). We’ll also question the definition of “bogus” and whether or not we were using it properly or even in the right context. Shiv used it when someone was lame/not cool but apparently, it was supposed to be used to denote that someone was fake. Thoughts?

    We’ll also share our distaste of certain slang (case in point - psyche!), question if some slang is actually slang (Getting Jiggy With It, home slice for example), and attribute some slang to gaming and/or the Millennial culture (i.e. newb).

    What GenX slang are you familiar or not familiar with? Drop us a note at doesthismakemelookold@gmail.com.
