12/12. Not a boomer, born in '72
We miss MeTV in Salem Oregon 😠
Gen X & got 12/12!
Im 44 went 12/12 suck it boomers. Some of that slang predates boomers
12 out of 12. I guess I must be a 30 year old boomer...
I missed "hooptie." I grew up in the 60's and have NEVER heard that term.
I think its more either British or just to local areas of the US
actually it's more ethnic than that. You would be more apt to hear that phrase on "Good Times" than "Family Ties" if you know what I mean.
So cool I really should have gotten them All... Darn it!
12/12... too easy..
You got 11 out of 12 - Did you dig this quiz? Bummer, I missed #11. It was the only one I never heard of. "An old car" was the first answer I eliminated so I was way off!!
12 out of 12 right. I took a shot at #11, because that sure wasn't a word I was ever familiar with.
I agree with Lacey. I think it was put in to throw us off.

I think they tossed in #11 just to make sure nobody got 100%.
I am not that old, but I have never heard the term "hooptie."

I never thought 'hooptie' was an old term; I thought it came from MTV.

I'm Generation X and got 12 out of 12 , I feel Gen X is becoming the forgotten generation with all the Boomer vs Millennial stuff .
Again, I had 11 right, went back and counted green, at the end said I had 10 right. Not a first time error
11/12
11/12, I'm a late boomer born in 1963. I never heard of a hooptie
I'm a late boomer too, my grandfather used the term hooptie many times referring to automobiles..
You got 12 out of 12
