I mentioned UHF to one of my (younger) coworkers, and he had no idea what that meant...

Well, UHF is still a common term if you're a radio amateur. Along with VLF, LF, MW, SW, etc.

We've got it all! (We've got it all) On UHF!

Funnily enough, that's how we got to that- several of us going out to lunch, I was driving, so my music, and one of the Weird Al polkas was playing, and he was asking who it was .. even my kids have heard of Weird Al so me and the other old farts are trying to figure out if he's messing with us or really didn't know... So we were listing off Weird Al's works, and UHF came up, we described the plot, he asked if UHF meant something in the context of a TV station, and that's when we old farts crumbled into dust.
