"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)
