It's funny you mention the "hipster handbook"..it's a funny gag book it's not serious. But inside it the terms "Deck" and "Fin" are used frequently. Deck means cool and current and "Fin" means lame and totally out of styleIn early 2000, both the New York Times and Time Out New York ran profiles of Williamsburg, Brooklyn, without using the term hipster; the Times refers to "bohemians"[SUP][16][/SUP] and TONY to "arty East Village types".[SUP][17][/SUP] By 2003, when The Hipster Handbook was published by Williamsburg resident Robert Lanham, the term had come into widespread use in relation to Williamsburg and similar neighborhoods.
fin - the opposite of deck, similar to outdated terms like "wack" and "lame."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."
"My date with Larry was so fin. He took me to Applebee's and ordered cheese fries as an appetizer."
