I got 22 out of 22!
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!

I always thought the phrase “psyche!”, to mean you’re just kidding or joking, originated in the 80’s, but I guess it started before then.
