    I don’t think these words mean the same thing at all. Like ‘foid’ doesn’t mean the same thing as ‘whatever’ (I could be wrong), so what is actually being compared here?

      Are they supposed to? I didn’t infer any link between them. I just thought they were random slang words from that era, contrasting the different feel they have.
