Ok, I have been asked to come up with catch phrases/buzz words of 1987 and 1988 that *I* used (with friends/at school). I don't remember any.

Anybody remember any of the lingo from that time? Maybe if a bunch of things are posted, I'll find something that I remember.

Sorry, that was past my school days, I was living on my own and working a f/t job in NYC, I don't think we used any hip lingo in the insurance office!

Here, I found this web page...took me awhile to figure out what to search on! It doesn't sort it out by specific year, but it is a start
