Can you remember if these slang terms are vintage or not?

Let's see how far out your slang skills really are.

 

Slang can be a difficult thing to keep up with. By the time you actually learn what a word means, it becomes outdated and uncool and falls by the wayside, only to be replaced with a newer, more complicated slang term. We're giving you a slang word and asking whether it's vintage or whether it came from some time a bit more recent!

  1. If someone were saying goodbye to you, they might say, "Later days"
  2. If you were bitter about something, you might be called "Salty"
  3. If you thought something was cool, you would call it "Far out"
  4. If you were giving someone the "Hairy eyeball," it might mean that you don't like them very much.
  5. To do something in an extreme way is "To the max"
  6. If something is cool, you'd call it "Dope"
  7. You might call a ditzy person a "Space Cadet"
  8. If someone were in your business, you might say, "Mind your potatoes"
  9. If something is exciting or fun, it is "Lit"
  10. If you were a charmer, people would say that you had "Rizz"

Can you remember if these slang terms are vintage or not?

That first phrase "later days?"

I first heard that in a Disney cartoon, The Weekenders. That came on ABC around 2000. Granted, 2000 was (at the time of this writing) 23 years ago, but is that really "vintage?"

I guess it is. Gosh, I'm old.

So be it.

Later days!

From what I understand, it's a truncated form of "charisma" that the kids use these days.
