Never heard this one- what does it mean?
It's from Bob & Doug McKenzie! They used exaggerated Canadian slang, eh?

Clueless movie was from 1995, so not in the 70s/80s.

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.
HS '87 here
I think 90s? Didn’t they say that in Clueless?
I just watched Clueless with my tweens. Cher says "my bad" when she hits another car.
I think I still say it. I'm a dinosaur.

"High 5, down low...too slow!"
In the 90s making an L sign with fingers and putting on forehead. Whenever we did something clumsy drunk my college friend did this.
Another from 90s
"Fierce"
Also, using your hand as a tiger paw and saying "rawr!"
I think these two came from Tyra Banks, in her show America's Next Top Model?

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

“Killer” for great. “Stoked” for excited. “Word” for I agree. “I heard that” also for agree.
