now that we're in the 20s

Thanks, I only knew a handful of those.

I know a couple more - a quick google says they're also from the 20's.

  An old lady living across the street from my family in the 60's, who we all called "Grandma" told my mother that her (Grandma's) son was dating"that Jane."

I asked my mother who Jane was and my mother replied it wasn't the woman's name, it meant a woman of bad reputation.

Also, the slang for marijuana, "Mary Jane," is from the 1920's.

As far as 2020 slang goes, I retired from teaching in 2006 and bet I'd be lost now.  It was funny when I would say "record player" to kids from the 90's on and almost all had no clue what I was talking about. The 33, 45, and 78 rpm's used to be a good place to introduce circular motion.
