[vocab] miffed & whizz-bang

Hello there,

In the movie "The Founder" there are a few words that I haven't heard before.

1) miffed

2) whizz-bang

Are these words still used? The movie is set in the 50's/60's, so perhaps the vocabulary used is appropriate to the times. If these words are still used, how do you use them?


Thanks
