90’s Slang

by Vivian

How do you explain a phrase to your 4 year old that is, afterall, just 90’s slang? Okay, okay, raise your hand if you say the following words and phrases as part of your regular vocabulary (like I do):

  • All that and a bag a chips
  • Back In The Day
  • Beeotch
  • The Bomb
  • Boo Ya!
  • Chica
  • Chick-Flick
  • Don’t go there!
  • Dude!
  • F-bomb
  • Gettin Jiggy
  • Homey
  • Junk
  • My Bad!
  • NOT!
  • Nice!
  • Not So Much
  • Oh snap…
  • Score!
  • Shiznit
  • Straight Edge
  • Sweet!
  • Talk to the Hand(because the face ain’t listening)
  • Trippin’
  • Whassup?
  • What’s the dillio?
  • Who’s your daddy?
  • Yadda Yadda Yadda
  • Your Mom!
  • fugly
  • m’kay

Admittedly, I wasn’t very “hip” in the 90’s since I was pretty much in grade and middle school (LOL) but I never heard this one: “Quit Icing My Grill” – did you?

… but I’m SO using it from now on!

I didn’t know so many of those were from the 90’s…I would have thought more recent. I’m pretty sure I’ve never said or heard ICING MY GRILL!!!

Oh yes I am very familiar with that sort of lingo!

Well you’ve heard it now, sista! I’m owning it, period.

Danielle- “Cool beans” is a DEFINITE personal fav. Along with “Fav”. HA!

Hate to say it, but it’s time to let go of most of these. lol I have heard icing my grill, but can’t seem to think of a time I ever used it. :) I’m thinking the only one I say is “not so much.”
