I turned 15 in 1970 so I think I could say that the ‘70s were my decade to be hip and cool. (two ‘70s slang terms they didn’t mention) But until now I had never heard ...

4 Psyche!
6 Stop dipping in my Kool-Aid
7 What a fry
16 Bogue
18 Lay a gasser
or
20 Stella

And while I’m at it, I never heard anyone use the pejorative “dillweed” which was prominent in the TV program “That ‘70s Show.”

“Psyche!” was a popular one for a bit in the late seventies. Short for “psyche out” as in “to psyche someone out.” To fool someone into believing they would receive a favor or treat and then immediately withdrawing it. (A little different from what the list says.”

“Did you say you wanted the last beer? Here you go... Psyche!”

Eddie Murphy used “Psyche!” in his stand-up “I’ve got my ice cream” routine.

“I got my ice cream! I got my ice-cream! And you ain’t got none! I got my iiice creeeam! ...Wanna lick? Psyche!”

I was 15 in the ‘70s , so I’ve heard of “Psyche!” (More a game) And “dillweed” is tv slang for “d+ckhead”which the “That ‘70s Show” program didn’t think they could say on TV.

Never heard of

6 Stop dipping in my Kool-Aid
7 What a fry
16 Bogue (“Bogus” I’ve heard of)
18 Lay a gasser
or
20 Stella

I’m a little younger than you and I’ve never heard any of those, either.

I remember gasser from those songs kids used to sing on the bus in elementary school back in the 1960’s.

Going down the highway, exit 44
Someone lit a gasser and shot it out the door
The wheels couldn’t take, the engine fell apart
All because of someones super-sonic fart.

Never heard them either - I was guessing them to be a regional thing.
