"Lit" really isn't that new, maybe not as popular back then, but I do remember being drunk or high in my teens and 20s referring to myself or observing others as "lit".

"Shook" certainly is new to me however.


I edited my prior post mistaking it for a new post. My prior post in the edited version was actually meant as a response to this post.
Their "lit" isn't about being high or drunk but more about being something being cool or amazing.  That's why I included it, should have explained that.  Old word...new meaning.

Back in the late 80s early 90s the word would have been "fly".

In the 90s it was, "Talk to the hand"

What do you hear today from those in their teens and 20s that you know will be looked back on in 20 years as old hat?

Dunno, I don’t associate with people in that age range (their choice).
