She was meant to be 24 when she started out in GP.
Nobody I know in the whole 25-30 age group acts like Anita. Except for the whole, "YOU TOUCH MY COFFEE, I WILL KILL YOU!" kind of thing, because university teaches us that coffee = food of the gods.
We're not that self-righteous and preachy. The people I know would rather stand back and make fun of people like her, and then laugh maniacally if she'd ever give us a "What kind of crack are you smokin'?" look.
We don't dress like her. We realise that the 80s was a traumatic era for everyone involved and cling to the revolution of the 90s and the retro of the 70s. We don't follow the fashion trends because A) they're stupid, B) trashy and C) none of us can afford it.
As for the slang, I had to ask people what she meant by something to do with Merlioni (one of the RPIT detectives) and it's meant to be an old-style Italian derrogatory term. I was all, "Wtf?" because I've never heard it before. I know I use some jazz-age slang, simply because it's from the era of cool and nobody knows what the hell you're talking about, which suits me just fine. Then again, I live in the country of slang, so...I'm probably not one to talk.
