Like all things, slang terms, especially the ones that young people use, evolve over time. Instead of things being "groovy," they're now "lit." We're not quizzing you on your ability to translate what your kids are saying, though.
Today, we're seeing how well you can translate some of the trendiest retro words and phrases. It may have been decades since you last used these words, but we think you're hip enough to remember. Good luck!

1 day I angrily called a suck-up classmate "fink". Upset he told our teacher that I called him a fink. The teacher asked the class what "fink" meant & 1 girl explained it meant a snitch or tattle tale. Thus by griping to our teacher about what I called him he was indeed a fink! ☺
hahahaha well, you weren't lying! LOL
