'Getting jiggy' most decidedly meant something other than dancing where I live, also 'ditto' is not slang and finally, where would the 90s have been without 'The Simpsons' eh?

What I gather from this is that if the 90s didn't have Will Smith or The Simpsons, there wouldn't be any decade-specific slang... 😂

Some are definitely earlier 1990. Also Scrilla and Mondo I think might be location based.

I didn't know "hella" until I met my then-bf's college roommate, who was from Northern California. Apparently "hella" was, well, hella common in NorCal, but not said at all in Southern California, where I'm from XD all the rest of them were familiar to me from my childhood, though XD

I got 27 (I'm British so had no idea what 411 meant) and I'm a child of the 80s when some of this slang was in use. Like dibs on which chair/desk/table at school, and so on.

28/28 mainly because I watched too much Simpsons and Will Smith. the rest were more 70's and 80's. Still more entertaining than another Reddit AITA repost from 8 years ago.
