Gen Zer asks about 90s slang. Man pulls out classic phrases, giving millennials nostalgia.

Every generation has their version of words and phrases they’ve deemed cool, but it’s often fun to find out what previous generations used as slang. In the 70s they said things like “jive turkey,” and “dynamite” while in the 80s they thought phrases like “bite me,” or “chill pill” were interesting enough to toss into a sentence.

Recently a Gen Zer asked if people in the 90s really did say, “all that and a bag of chips.” It’s unclear if the person understood the context in which that phrase would’ve been used, nonetheless, a millennial answered the Bat Signal to blow their mind. Darren Brand decided to not only confirm the use of the familiar phrase, but to include multiple classic phrases in the video response he shared on Instagram.

“For me, some was good for then, some you could still use today and some we gotta let go. That’s not the only one, okay,” Brand responds before dropping some 90s gems.


“We got, ‘talk to the hand.’ Classic. “‘As if’—’Clueless,’ classic,” the man says. Brand continues to rattle off some other phrases popular in the 90s bringing back memories for millennials who happened upon his video. This nostalgia resulted in people adding the slang words and phrases they recalled in the comments. Talk about a trip down memory lane.

The comments started off strong with this oldie someone leaves, “What’s crack-a-lackin!”

Not to be out done, someone drops, “Save the drama for yo mama.”

One person shows that words never go out of style, “Dope. Things are still dope for me.”

People clearly had a problem with minding their business, or at least it would seem from what another commenters shares, “all in the koolaid and don’t know the flavor!”

Someone else reminded people of the ultimate attitude checking statement, “you better check yourself before you wreck yourself.”

Now that everyone has taken a time machine back to the 1900s to revel in their teenage language, it’s time to come back to mortgages and kids. Who knows, maybe some of these phrases will slip back into modern slang phrases since everything seems to eventually be recycled from previous generations. Now that would be cool beans.
