Out of touch with modern lingo?

Call me out of touch with current news but whatever you do, don't count me in as not knowing the lingo of today.

Watching a recording of yesterday's NBN news, the explosion at Port Macquarie Power Station involved witness giving their recollections:

"It was pretty hectic" said a youth with obvious peircings to his eyebrow

"As black as the Ace of spades" said another local (woman)

Just shows how under privaleged those are who live next to Power Stations - re the post about Lucas Heights ;)
