    All that and a bag of chips

    I remember that being said … a handful of times

    followed by snapping your fingers 3 times in the shape of a Z seems like something a sane person would say?

    and I barely remember that… certainly I don’t remember it tied to the former.

    or “bout it bout it rowdy rowdy”?

    0 recollection of that

    or “salty” or “scrubs” when not refering to sodium or doctors medical attire.

    Fair.

    Our slang, just like every generations slang, was the worst.

    I was informed by a friend I’m actually thinking of gen alpha slang (and blaming Gen Z) with stuff like … https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Skibidi Toilet

    I guess it’s just a matter of what’s “normal” with folks around you, particular as a kid. I certainly wasn’t in a slang heavy group of kids in general. We texted with (near) proper grammar and full sentences and also found the “r u k? bb” kind of stuff pretty cringe-worthy.

      Oh, then you’re not a millennial. We didn’t HAVE texting in 1995. You sound like you’re talking about mid 2000s. By then I was in my mid-20s. So not exactly the time period where it was “my time” for new slang.

      My grandfathers generation called money “bacon”. As in, he brought home the bacon. My dads genneration called money Chedder. My generation called it lettice. Around 2010 I heard people calling it bread. I’m convinced they’re making a sandwich! It’s going to be turkey, or ham next. Maybe some capicola. Just as long as it’s not mayonaise. I don’t want mayonaise on my sandwich.
