I’m constantly fascinated by how quickly trends cycle in and out. And I’m not just talking about clothing trends — I’m also referring to vocabulary. Thanks to the internet, today’s popular slang terms cycle in and out so quickly, only Gen Alpha can keep up. Trends become cheugy quicker than ever (is it still cool to say “cheugy”?).
But still, there are tons of pre-internet terms that we all fail to remember, because they’re long gone…and today, we’re gonna discuss them. Specifically, I’m about to test how well you know ’80s slang, because that decade was chock-full of some really interesting terms. So get ready, and no cheating!
