๐Ÿ’ฌ Define These Slang Terms and We’ll Guess What Decade You Were Born in

What does “gnary” mean?

19 comments

Every generation has its vocabulary of slang words. Like fashion and all things trendy, slang changes with the times. A word that seems current one year can feel wildly dated as time goes on. The time period you were born in will determine the slang words you best understand. This is perhaps why many people feel they are better able to communicate with people around the same age. Itโ€™s most likely the case that each of us has our own unique version of the English language in our heads, complete with slang and several unwritten rules.

We can actually guess which decade you were born in based on your responses to these questions. Every question in this quiz deals with a particular slang word or phrase. Each slang term was used most frequently within a certain time period or has had its meaning changed throughout the various decades.

Tell us what you think each of the slang terms in this quiz mean, and we will determine which decade you were born in.

    They said I was born in the 1970’s. I wish that was true it would remove about 20 years from my true age. I was born in 1955.
