The 1990s gave us some great things, like chokers, flared jeans (lord help you if you called them bellbottoms), belly chains ... wait a minute ... It's clear that the 1990s was easily the most uninspired, unoriginal decade when it came to things like fashion. Those of us who grew up in that time were basically told that tie dye had been done, chokers went out of style for a reason, and wearing next to nothing was something people discovered they could do in the '60s. As a matter of fact, the only decade the '90s didn't try to steal from was the '80s, which were totally bashed at the time.
While the 1990s wasn't an excellent way we expressed ourselves through fashion and makeup choices, we did find individualism in our music ... and our words. The slang of the 1990s took the words of the decades before and completely changed them. The great part about it was that slang was no longer isolated to regions of the country, because it was found everywhere (especially MTV ... which was still cool, and sometimes still played music in the '90s), and it spread through the media and the Internet with the communication age. So, if you were around for the '90s (or you just have an obsession with that decade), you probably know a thing or two about the slang that was available. It's time to test your skills, and try to complete these slang phrases from the '90s.
