I don’t remember that, but I do remember calling a girl a “box” meant that she was hot.
I remember that but we would add a "y" to the end as an adjective rather than just the C-word.

Yes. Also redneck boats = gritcraft
We also said "that's mighty white of you" in Virginia, even as white people.

No but I’m from DC. There’s a thread here about that though. https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/845676.page

PP and yes, first heard this on rural Ohio at my ES, circa 1977, although the preferred term was “briar.”
Back in Fairfax County, we’d call these kids, “country” or “hillbillies.”

It is sometimes hard for to me to distinguish what phrases come from my early childhood (70s) and teens (80s). A lot of stuff on this thread seems way more 90s, but maybe kids born in the 80s have trouble making the same distinctions.
Forgot to add the site:
