    yeah well, having been born in the early 50s and lived through the 60s to tell about it, I got A+. must admit there were a couple I had to guess at as my part of the world in the 60s didn't use those words.

    A+. Many of those terms are still common. They could've made it a little tougher, but then, the makers of the quiz probably aren't old enough to know anything more.

    That's what I was thinking. However, there were two or three that I guessed on that I've never heard before. I always knew I was a good guesser, it's what got me through high school. :D

    Born in 63, A+ aced it. But I definately wasn't "cool" in the 60's.

    One thing I don't remember from the '60s are hippies, I think their numbers were greatly exaggerated. I do remember mini skirts though and the girls actually fit into them and didn't look like a 12 year old boy, like the do now. Then in the '70s they had those hot pants, those fit real well too. Maybe I just remember the pleasant things.

    A +. Old as dust! Sixties were good but things were much more calm in the 50's. Didn't have much then, but neither did anyone else so it wasn't so bad. No TV etc. No central heating. One parent working. Walked to school. No frills like gym, band or cafeteria.
