The Catchphrases Only '90s Kids Remember
I might be a tad biased but I am a firm believer that '90s kids are the greatest people to ever walk the face of this planet. With the stoop kid as my witness, I know this to be true. It's fine if you don't agree with me, like whatever - talk to the hand. There are just so many things that people born in the 1990s do better. Our early interactions with tamagotchis have us primed to be totally rad parents. We can rock tattoo chokers like nobody's business. And lastly (read: most importantly), we have an exceptional knowledge of obscure 90s catchphrases.
Evident by cultural gems like "The Macarena" and Dunkaroos, the entire landscape of the 1990s was filled with such technicolor greatness that other decades simply cannot compete. And '90s babies and their mental rolodexes reflect this. From highly quotable films to the more obscure television phrases, every true '90 kids has these catchphrases on lock.
These are just some of the greatest catchphrases from the greatest decade that every true '90s kid knows by heart:
Butterfly in the sky, I can go twice as high. Take a look, it's in a book, a Reading Rainbow

Alrighty Then
The only appropriate response to when Sallie Mae calls, just before you start crying.

A 100 percent acceptable response to requests from bosses, friends, family, and overbearing co-workers. The thumbs-up is optional.
