30 frases de gíria dos anos 90 que deveriam voltar

Se quisermos saber se alguém atingiu a maioridade nos anos 90, há uma forma rápida de o descobrir.

Just totally out of the blue scream out “Schwing!’’ and if they look at you like there’s something wrong with you, you’re probably dealing with Millennials.

(Btw it’s a 90s reference made popular by Mike Myers, and it means being excited about something).

Os anos 90 foram uma época fantástica para as palavras de calão. Há tantas que ainda hoje estão enraizadas na cultura pop e, só de as mencionar, a nossa mente regressa imediatamente às camisas de flanela, aos Sketchers e a ouvir Pearl Jam. Foi uma época tão fixe.

Há tantas frases que estão esquecidas, ou pelo menos já não são usadas, mas acho que deviam voltar, porque são realmente algo de especial.

Aqui estão algumas frases de calão dos anos 90 que marcaram os anos 90 e que viverão nos nossos corações para sempre! (Até voltarem, claro):

Something so cool and amazing! This is what they said back in the 90s when something was ‘’it’’.
