Don’t pretend you didn’t become obsessed with whatever cool new slang was flavour of the month when you were a child
I don’t remember getting any new slang as a kid.

90s and early 00s were N O T LGBT friendly

fags

This is what we called cigarettes in Australia.

Same in Britain. Damn homophobia ruining perfectly good slang!
