Are you slang stupid? Here's a test. When your teenage cousin comes by to visit, and says, "Float me some cheddar cuz I need to bounce. I'm gonna let that boy next door tap this ass, but first we're going to get mad crunk," should you give her $2 for ice cream? Call a priest because she's suddenly talking in tongues? Take her on a little trip to Planned Parenthood?

Don't know? No problem. Our friends over at Knock Knock Publishing have come out with Slang Flashcards that will school you on how to roll with the players.

But maybe it's not the kids that baffle you. Maybe it was when your boss said, "I need future proof concepts that will still get us that low hanging fruit. I need a fundamental paradigm shift! The first of you that pings me some new bleeding edge concepts gets a scooby snack!" Yeah, we didn't get any of that either. Enter: the equally amusing Corporate Flashcards to save the day—and maybe your job!

But wait, that's not all! You say you've got eyes for a girl who dresses in thrift store gems, swills gin and tonics, and listens to nothing but swing music. Well then you'll need their Vintage Slang Flashcards to help woo her old-school style. Ie., you can pick her up your tin lizzie so she doesn't have to ankle to the dance. After you cut a rug you can skidoo back to her cave early so her dad doesn't cast a kitten.

Knock Knock's flashcards come with full dictionary definitions and each card is emblazoned with kitschy clip art style illustrations guaranteed to make you grin. Shop the entire cheeky collection (which includes cards for sex and therapy words, too) here; we're convinced you're going to think they're the bees knees!
