I missed the one that apparently almost everyone missed. I was there and I don't remember "bare" being a thing. That's wack.

I got one wrong too. Never heard anyone use "neek". Was it an American thing?

[–] Vengefu1Tuna@lemmy.zip 7 points 6 days ago

I'm an American and I've never heard of it either.

I have heard "bootylicious" way more than I ever heard "smexy" in the real world. "Smexy" was more of an internet nerd thing, in my experience.

"Bare" and "Neek" I have never once in my life heard or seen until this quiz. 🤨

Some of these are from the '90s. And some of them weren't really a thing. Maybe regionally from wherever this writer is from.
