A slacker is one of this new generation of kids who grew up with too much TV and video games and MTV, and spend all of their time bitching about how it sucks to have no money, meanwhile making absolutely no effort to get a job, and planning to live with their parents until their mid-30's, meanwhile working at a record store and piercing all different parts of their bodies 'cause they think its cool.

A betty is a surfing term used to describe the non-surfing women who hung around the surfing crowd. There was also the corresponding "barney," but nobody seems to use that...
