Untrue. It was cool to say in the early 80s. It is also cool to say now, in a retro-I-know-I'm-being-corny way. But it doesn't work unless you say it over the top and pronounce it "schnap." Most white people picked it up from Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" many years after black people stopped saying it.
