I had this conversation with one of my kids recently:

Her: "This thing is gas!"

Me: "Gas? Why are you talking like your grandpa in 1965?"

Her: " What are you yapping about? They don't know what 'gas' means!"

Me: "You wanna bet? Ain't you ever heard that Rolling Stones song? Jumpin' Jack Flash, it's a gas...?'

Her: "Bruh..."

Me: "Don't shoot the messenger."

Me looking at this meme nearing 40..."pretty sure we used sus and fire as teenagers".

Then again I didn't grow up in USA and we had different "hip" words.

That's fire was definitely a millennial thing, possibly Gen X.

OP is just that hip.

"Fire" goes back to at least the early 90s, when I was in highschool.
