Not "slang" but another thing we did in the late 70's/early 80s that no one does now:
1. Lick your finger and put it on the other person and go "Psssss" (like something so hot it sizzles) to signify that they are hot.
2. Make an almost fist (not closed the whole way--basically the fingers folded down) and breath on them (saying kind of a breathy "ha") and then rub it on your upper chest.

Anyone remember doing that?

Was this the Alien exploding from your chest from the movie

No, it's more like huffing on your nails and then polishing them on your chest when you do something great.

PP you posted about this here.

Ah! So that's what the point of it was? I was pretty young (maybe 3 or 4) when my teenage relatives were doing it, and I wasn't really sure what exactly they were doing! Thanks!

What era is "My bad" from?

I didn't hear it until my now 18-year old was in middle (ish) school. The only people I hear now who say it are kids/millennials.
