The 1950s were the first decade in American history when teens took over. They were interested in fashion, cars, music and movies. Pop was a burgeoning culture that caught everyone's attention. The idealistic suburban lifestyle gave children more free time, which led to more hanging out. From this era, slang developed a mind of its own and transformed language for every socio-economic background. Teen movies showed us that we didn't have to use the "correct" terms for things around us, and music used code to describe things parents of the decade wouldn't approve of.
If you grew up in the '50s, you'll probably recognize the majority of these terms right off the bat, but if you're simply a fan or scholar of the decade, we've probably found a few terms that might trip you up. Do you think you have what it takes to pass this quiz? We're going to see if you know what the teenagers were really saying during the time when the word "teenager" was new, fresh and gaining attention. Scroll down to see if you can dig any of these terms from over 65 years ago.
