You’re a real child of the 70’s…whether you were alive then or not! You did excellent on this quiz, showing that you know almost everything there is to know about the dialect of the 1970’s. Some of it may feel a bit dated now, but a good majority still remains common in our daily language, and we’re sure you use it frequently. Good work!

Being Gen X I can tell whoever wrote this quiz did not use the language of the day.
For example, a cat means a guy, usually a peer. A cool cat is a guy that is approved and admired.

I always thought the phrase โpsyche!โ, to mean youโre just kidding or joking, originated in the 80โs, but I guess it started before then.

“Psyche” was used in sports a lot in the late ’60s.
