Earlier today we were discussing the Oxford Dictionary's word of the year: vape. Each year there is new slang that catches on with the youths, and there is a generation that picks up some outdated slang that is past its prime. Sometime these "of the moment" words or phrases end up in songs.
We're going to spend some time with these outdated slang words for today's 9:30 Coffee Break. What songs that feature out of date slang should we play today?
