Dammit.

From NYTimes:

Am I deck or fin?

What ''The Preppie Handbook'' did for whale belts and synonyms for vomiting, ''The Hipster Handbook'' accomplishes for this generation's stylistic and linguistic signs and signifiers, starting with the always ephemeral distinction between the hip and the square. Here it is: ''deck -- a key word for most hipsters, similar in meaning to the antiquated 'fresh.' To be deck is to be up on the latest trends, cutting edge and/or hip. Sentence: 'That tassel we met at the gallery opening sure looked deck in her cowboy boots.' '' And: ''fin -- the opposite of deck, similar to outdated terms like 'wack' and 'lame.' Something that is fin is bad or undesirable. Sentence: 'How can you like that Vin Diesel movie? Every film he's ever starred in has been fin.' ''

While we can pray this doesn't seep into pop culture (for no other reason than to spare me from infinite recursion sitcom comedy hell... "Fin, would you say that your fins are fin? Fin they appear to me, dear Fin.... heeee heee") the truly hipster thing to do is to create our own "fin-free" lingo. Remember: memes suck, tell your friends.
