I remember around the time I entered High School people used to refer to things that were makeshift as "ghetto". Like: "you re-glued your book together? Man, that's so ghetto!" Always thought it sounded kind of dumb. "Tig Ol' Bitties" is another stupid saying that got popular around the same time. Some people think Lil Jon invented the phrase but I remember tons of kids saying it in the 90's. Fenix TX even used the line in a song from both their 1997 and 1999 albums.

That one reminds me of "Nucking futs" from Dickie Roberts. I dont know when the term was invented. Maybe my mind's in the gutter but every time I see "tig ol bitties" I literally laugh my a off! Then again this channel, DLIF which is discovery life, completly appropriate for everyone, and every time I see the word DLIF you can guess what I read it as 😂which reminds me, when did those to words about hot parents start? Wasn't it the 90's?

Haha, that's pretty funny! I believe American Pie did the whole "MILF" thing first. It might be older but they definitely popularized it. After that movie came out, the slang spread like wildfire around my school. Some kids were being rude and calling each others mothers that special little phrase to piss 'em off! ;D

That isn't one though. I hate when people use this term to define gay men cause it is basically making fun of them. But have you ever heard somebody calling them a Fudge Packer? Just think about it. That is connected to the Cake Boy one. BTW I think that second one is from the 90's. But it just sounds horrible so I don't like people saying it. Cake Boy doesn't sound as bad, though it is still making fun.

"I know you are, but what am I?"
"Can you do the kindergarten test?"

- I'm not exactly sure if these are 90s phrases or Early 2000's phrases, however I can definitely remember using them (and so did the other kids) at school, during the Mid/Late 2000's (between 2005-2008). Either way, I don't think they are Mid 2000's phrases.

In my school people used to say "hook (me, us, you, them) up" to mean do them a favor.  For example, "hook us up with a ride" or "hook me up with some change" (this was usually for the pay phone).

Interesting. It's possible that the phrase wasn't used by schoolkids in the US by 2008, however it was definitely still used here. I can even remember saying it back then. :P

Here's another strange phrase that I can remember from school. Instead of "scissors, paper, rock", kids at my school also used an alternative phrase". It was:

"Johnny got shot by the FBI".

Kids at my school used it during the entire time that I was in primary/elementary school (2005-2011), however it's possible that it dates back to the Early 00s or 90s. Was this phrase ever used in the US?

According to Wiktionary, that phrase may have its roots in the 70s or possibly earlier than that.  Also used during the 80s on Peewee's Play House.
