You say facial tissues, I say Kleenex.
Pork Roll or Taylor Ham (mostly a Jerzy thing) :)

Another weird thing to me "are you going to the track with your car?" The track was the road course, the "Strip" was the drag strip for 1/4 mile runs. This too has changed quite a bit

Don't know anything about Jersey's lame cuisine. Texan here. We invented the food you all call "Mexican," (it's TexMex, including the burrito which was invented in South Texas) and our smoked brisket destroys y'all's BBQ, so the food bar is set pretty high. Best food in NYC is falafel, because they use spice!

But yeah, strip is an 8th or quarter mile drag strip. Track has curves. People need to be called out for incorrect terminology. Just because you heard others say it doesn't mean it's a thing. The "FBO" thing I assume is "Full Bolt On," which literally means absolutely nothing. What is "full" in this context? (There's no answer to this question)

Don’t knock a great Taylor ham, egg and cheese on a roll off a dirty food truck until you’ve had it 🤣 and I love Texas brisket. Agree strip is drag and track has curves 😁

Pizza cutters & slicks is one I havent heard, but I havent been a "strip" guy to be around the lingo enough. As for millennial jargon - Track/Strip isnt, nor is Taylor Ham/pork roll (nor am I)

I don’t even know what a drag pack is... I thought it was parachutes. Drag pack meaning the wheels just doesn’t do anything for me.

Sticky’s and skinnies from my generation.

Millennials should be working hard by now. Now for the Gen Z kids (Or Sub-Millennials).....

I've been out of the performance car game for a while, and we definitely used to run drag wheels. I had a '95 Camaro Z28 with custom made Bogart racing wheels, with skinnies up front that only weighed 7lbs. Anyway, I've noticed in the forums/groups people put on drag wheels and refer to it as "drag pack." I think someone has usurped a term for something else and thinks that's what you call it. I just call it drag wheels & tires. Not sure what makes it a "pack."

Thoughts?
I’m similar to yourself and when I first came across the term I immediately thought of Fords’ Drag Pack of the late 60’s early 70’s. Thinking it was an unpublicised option and investigating further, imagine my disappointment when I discovered the term now refers to a set of drag wheels and tyres. Oh well…. 🙂
