Gnarly, tubular, radical, extreme to the max!!!
bet
I’m old and “cooking” was old when I was young.
Nah. It was just cooking
Nah, these expressions will just fall out of use. You think this is the first time people came up with funny fad expressions?
Sorry, but you ain’t all dat and a bag of potato chips. Fo shizzle.
All dat has become allat now in meme speak so maybe not totally out of fashion
They are already getting there. Hearing forty year olds say it means kids are now stopping saying it.
Wazzuppppp, fellow youths!
I hear more millennial YouTubers using this language than I do highschoolers.
I would imagine because you spend way more time watching millennial YouTubers than you do hanging out with high school ers
Yeah! Screw me for not wanting to hang around the little shits after having to deal with them at work right?
They already are.
Source: I’m old and I can use all those words correctly.
Yea but when old people now use it, it’s an oddity. I think OP means when old men in general are talking about Razz and Skibity outhouse.
One of these days I need to go and read through the Calvin and Hobbes collection I bought for my bookshelf when it was on a steep discount. I remember reading them all the time as a kid.
A relatable situation; when my kid can read a little better I mean to very enthusiastically introduce them to it.
Though honestly they might enjoy the beautiful artwork without bothering to read. Or it might encourage them to practice. Hmm.
Either way is good IMO. Even if they just look at the pictures and imagine their own stories I have to believe that’s good for a developing mind.
So will be “squeezin the juice”, just think about that one
My 34 year-old brother says “rats!” when something bad happens. He learned from our grandpa.
I make it a point to adopt some of my grandpa’s lingo. Funnily enough my 18-20 year old students can smell 30yo slang from a mile away and will point out it ages me, but they’ve never said anything about the random 50s teenage slang I incorporate.
Oooh, I like that, I’m terrified of rats, so that would be a great replacement, for the usual word, when around kids, too.
By that time language may be unrecognizable by those of you still around
What’s cooking?
Fish balls. Why, would you like some?
I’m old so no idea but I would guess like “let him cook”
No cap
I heard this thing that humans are tribal creatures and in any group, family, friend etc, they will invariably develop their own language, and they didn’t mention it but generationally specify slang is so much more beautiful when viewed through that lens. So even if it’s an old person thing, for those of us privileged to be able to stay on this earth that long, it will still be your tribes language and you will feel at home saying it. And that’s all that matters.
And the nursing homes will be full of Arya, Daenarys, and Khaleesi. Boys movie names tend to be pretty underwhelming. Maybe a bunch of “Wades” from Deadpool.
I’m surprised I’ve never seen a kid named Atreyu.
There are a few Thors around.
They exist. Don’t think I’ve ever met one either.
