90s Slang: In Case You Missed It


In case you missed it, Donna Brazile put Anderson Cooper in his place and told him, "You're not my boo." Hey-Oh! Welcome back to 1995, people! Coop had the awesome rejoiner, "I wanna be your boo" - but then he admitted he didn't actually know what "boo" meant. Yikes! Anderson, we know you're young, but it's not like you were born in 2001. You lived through the 90s like the rest of us. But just in case you missed it, here's some more slang you might want to catch up on.

#01

All that and a bag of chips


(Even better than the best. As in, "Just because Anderson Cooper is smart, he thinks he's all that and a bag of chips.")

#02

As if!


(Sarcastic denial. As in, "Anderson Cooper wants me to accompany him on his next trip to the Middle East. As if!")

#03

The bomb


(Excellent. As in, "Anderson Cooper's coverage of Iraq this year has been the bomb.")

#04

Boo Ya!


(An exclamation after doing something laudatory. As in, "Donna, lay off! Cooper is mine! Boo ya!")

#05

Cha-ching!


(Expensive. As in, "Anderson Cooper said the war in Iraq will cost $500 trillion. Cha-ching!)

#06

Chill out


(Calm down. As in, "Yo, Donna, Anderson was just asking for the scoop, chill out!")

#07

Dope


(Synonymous with cool. As in, "Anderson Cooper's hairstyle is dope.")

#08

Duh!


(Expression when someone says something that is already public knowledge. For example, if someone mentioned that Anderson Cooper was a silver fox, "Duh!" would be an apt response.)

#09

Gettin Jiggy


(Putting the moves on someone. As in, "Anderson Cooper and I were getting jiggy on the dancefloor last night.")

#10

Ghetto


(Cheap. As in, "Anderson, where did you get that fake rolex? It looks mad ghetto.")

#11

Jack


(To steal. As in, "Donna jacked my last boyfriend, but she won't steal Anderson Cooper from me.")

#12

Mad


(Very. As in, "Anderson Cooper is mad sexy.")

#13

My bad!


(My mistake. As in, "I didn't realize you were Anderson Cooper's boo! My bad!")

#14

Not!


(Negates previous statement. As in, "Anderson Cooper is mad ugly. Not!")

#15

O.G.


(Original Gangsta. Yes, you can definitely call him O.G. Cooper.)

#16

Oh snap


(Oh yeah! As in, "Oh snap! Donna said what now?")

#17

Open up a can of whoop-ass


(Kick butt. As in, "Donna, don't you even think about stealing Anderson from me, or I'll open up a can of whoop-ass on you.")

#18

Pimpin'


(Cool. As in, "Anderson, that jacket is pimpin'.")

#19

Psyche!


(Just kidding! As in, "Anderson Cooper just asked me to marry him. Psyche!")

#20

Talk to the hand!


(I don't want to hear what you're saying. As in, "You don't think Anderson Cooper would date me? Talk to the hand!")
