In your time, what was slang?

When you were around 14-17, what was the word that people used that now you would say which would make people go 'o_O'.
 
For example, as I am 14, my time would be 2009. Notable slang of the moment would be 'skeen' which means 'ok' and 'alie' (pronounced a-lie, not al-ee-eh), which means the same thing.

"Scamming" for making out.  I thought it was retarded then, I still think it's retarded today.

I was never hip enough to know the lingo of the time period which I grew up in (I'm 23, so the mid to late 90s to early 00's). I still consider "rad" to be an acceptable term. (Oh, and I guess "hip" is still acceptable).

When i was 15 (around the 90's) we said Klinky which meant House. 
 
 
   

In England we've got such gems as: 

'bruv' - instead of 'bro'
'innit' - apparantly short for "isn't it" or just tack it on the end of any sentence for maximum cool points
'mint' - cool, awesome, good 
'fit' - hot, sexy
'fag' - ciggarette [is this one global? I swear I've heard it on American tv shows, and not in a situation where it could be used as gay]
'startin' - "are you trying to start a fight?" usually said repeatedly while holding their arms behind them and pushing you back by bumping their chest into you

" @AndrewB: I don't think it is anymore. But who cares.   Mine would be, skeet. "

Da bomb, everyone using it all of the time and it just got really annoying.

dude what i'm 16 and i've never heard that.... "

Wassup... remember those black guys who would always say it in that video? I was never caught dead saying it but all my friends did. I thought it was dumb then and still do!

"Pinner" to indicate something of poor quality. I never used it, but it was pretty prolific. Not to hijack the thread, but indicate where your from generally, I'd like to see how slang differed across the country/globe. I'm from Northern California.

"That movie was hella pinner, not enough shit blew up."

Jumping Jehosaphat!

Brap

Off the hook turned into off the chain, other than that I'm not really sure what to say here.

" @Pie: No Just No "

Shibby... And it sounded pathetic then and it does so now.  
Well I guess I was older than 14 -15 at that point actually.. Hmm,  
I guess I don' really know. I wasn't down with the "hip" kids back then. Fucking losers, would rather hang out with the older kids.

Gay was slang for something lame or stupid. Like homosexuality.
 
EDIT: That was mostly to sarcastic, for those of you who become offended over nothing, or don't understand.

The thing that really surprised me, my family moved when I was around 14 to a new place.  Biggest thing that surprised me was people calling stuff 'gay' that they didn't like.  I had literally never heard that before.

"That's so money."
 
That whole phrase started with Swingers, right? I still hear some people use it and I fucking hate it....

oh yes, I forgot:
 
'wagwan' 'wag1' or 'wahgowan'-all mean how are you.

hot minute means a very very long time, believe it or not.
 
As for the whole gay thing, I love gay people. I just use the term in vein, much like the lord's name.

Nothing, i was a gen X kid so every thing we did was awesome and timeless.

skeet is the worst 'word' ever created i want to punch anyone who uses it around me,,,, aggghhh hate it!  how about the first letter of a person's name followed by -dawg sup c-dawg? lol "

I remember a time when it was socially acceptable to call something 'rad.' I blame Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

The term I remember from my childhood that bugged the hell out of me was people tacking "...not!" onto the end of everything, trying to say everything sarcastically like, "That shirt looks good.. not!"
 
Having a brother who would talk like that non-stop was so frustrating >< I was so glad when that fad died out.

At my school weird word usages catch on like wildfire, so I'm sure our slang isn't exactly normal. We explain cool and badass things as "raw". When someone makes a mistake we say stinks. Only you must say stinks in a high pitched voice, with a bunch of iiii's. So Stiiiiinks. I'd recommend you try it and spread it. Its hilarious. In a very immature way. Kids around my school have also started to take the d of hyped. So they say "I was getting hype for the game when my coach yelled at me." Oh and when rappers spit a good verse, that rapper went "hard".

Damn, shit, faggot, bitch, fuck, fucker, motherfucker, asswipe.
 
Yeah, we aren't exactly creative with slang words today.

When I was a kid we said "Wassup" lots I guess,

I remember saying da bomb, wicked, phat, and tight a lot.

• Gay, meaning stupid
• Sketchy, meaning..... I really have no clue
• Boss, meaning someone that's awesome? I guess

Most of the slang comes from the Northside of Dublin.
 
North : Slar - See you later (said quickly) 
             Story ? - What is the story with you, how are you etc.  
             Bleedin' - Used as replacement for fuck.
             Rapid - Cool i.e : Those shoes are "rapid". 
             Locked - extremely drunk.   
             Slapper - slut,ho etc. 
             You are on your bollox - basically it means "as if" when somebody says something unbelievable about themselves.      
             Craic -  Irish term for fun, merriment. i.e : We had great craic last night.

We used "pinner" for something else when I was young.  = D 
 

I don't remember what we said in the 70s...probably "keep on truck'n, dude" and "I can dig it!"  And, I think there was some CB lingo that found its way into the general public.  I remember people asking "What's your 10-20" for "Where are you" and, of course, "10-4" meant "I understand." But, I don't recall using a lot of notable slang when I was still in short pants.  In the 80s though, when I was in junior and high school, we said things like "Rad", "Cool Beans", and "Ex-cell-lent".
 
"Yo, dude, that camero is bitch'n sweet.  I gotta book to to my homegirl.  Betty be ill'n if I'm late.  Catch you on the flip side."
