I had this conversation with one of my kids recently:

Her: "This thing is gas!"

Me: "Gas? Why are you talking like your grandpa in 1965?"

Her: " What are you yapping about? They don't know what 'gas' means!"

Me: "You wanna bet? Ain't you ever heard that Rolling Stones song? Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas...?'

Her: "Bruh..."

Me: "Don't shoot the messenger."

    In the 90s, when everyone started using the word fat/phat, I found out from an article that it's usage that way could be traced back to 1920s jazz musicians. Everything old is new again.

    Me looking at this meme nearing 40..."pretty sure we used sus and fire as teenagers".

    Then again I didn't grow up in USA and we had different "hip" words.
