The year anyone with a flux capacitor would want to visit.
A good year fo B -Vice to smoke that sticky icky green Shiiiiiiit and say Fuckin Fuck alot. A bad year for innocent collars of misfits t shirts. A great year for red jeeps and rebel flags. A good year for cough syrup, Carl's Junior, Swan Lake, Denny's, Oogies, parties in Jake Bo's basement, and Jubilee.
The year of the original penis bottle rocket, the full effect of the blue blazer and many other timeless pieces of forgotten awesomeness.

Get the '97 mug.
A precise-sounding figure which at first sight appears impressively close to total unanimity but on closer inspection is obviously meaningless because of selection bias. Extensively used by a snake oil salesman or confidence trickster to suggest that the prospective ill-informed customer would be ridiculed by their peers if they failed to make the purchase. Also used ironically to suggest precision when in fact both the speaker and the listener know that the figure is a stab in the dark, such as sales estimates.
