Old Slang That Needs To Come Back

"Yas," "fleek" and "bae" are few of today's slang that we hear or see more times than we would ever like to. But as cringeworthy as some of today's new slang can be, we shouldn't forget that every decade had a few quirky or annoying phrases too. However, there's no denying that something about the slang of the past feels more clever, witty and fun compared to today's. Some may even say that it probably would have been best to leave 2016's most popular phrases in 2016.

Here's a list of old slang phrases that need to come back in 2017:

1. Cheese eater

To be a brown-noser or a person that kisses up to others all the time.

2. Cheese weasel

To be annoying or obnoxious.

3. Eat my shorts

To show rebellion by pretty much saying "screw you."

4. Funkadelic

To be awesomely funky.

5. Gag me with a spoon

To be disgusted.

6. Hotsy-totsy

To be perfect.

7. Hot to trot

To be eager and ready to go.

8. I'll be a monkey's uncle

To be in disbelief.

9. Razz my berries

To be impressed.

10. Swacked

To be drunk.

Now you're hot to trot with this hotsy-totsy list of funkadelic phrases that'll razz your friends' berries!

(Use with Caution: They may accuse you of being swacked)

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
