Which generation came up with the best or worst slang?
It's arguable which generation started some of the slang or just used it a lot more.

Here's some:

Greatest Generation with "OK"
Baby Boomers with "Cat's meow", "jive turkey!", "cool", "ya dig?", "you guys"
Generation X with "peace, out", "a Narc", "Cool beans", "like, totally", "whatever"
Millennium with "receipts", "sus", "bruh", "bye Felicia"
Gen Z with "ghosting", "G.O.A.T.",
Gen Alpha with "67", "rizz", "slaps", "POV"

"Cool beans" is one that's so rare now I might actually chuckle if I heard someone say it in earnest.

Sort of. I don't think you'd say, "That shirt is cool beans." But in agreement with something, you might say, "Cool beans."

Maybe was a version of saying "deal" as in "good/cool deal"? I don't know if "beans" has any specific association.

I think it is cyclical.

Take for example:
23 Skidoo vs 67 Skibidi

The internet AI asserts that "cool beans" is associated with DJ Tanner from 'Full House'. I haven't been able to independently verify this.
