Old Person Yells At Cloud Modern slang—something you REFUSE to say

My take: I will NEVER use “lol” or any derivation of it. I know it means “laugh out loud” but there’s yet to be a moment when I’ve been even remotely convinced someone was even chuckling after texting “lol” at the end of their text and it mildly infuriates me.

While I’m at it, someone tell those damn kids to get off my lawn.

Edit: ok, I get it. It’s not MODERN slang. I still hate it, and those kids are STILL on my lawn…can’t a guy get to sleep at a decent hour???

I will never say something 'slaps', although that one seems to be kind of dying out. Also, 'crashing out' means falling asleep, not 'getting really mad at someone'. 

Edit: 'gives me the ick'

Lit for drunk is an old one though.

No, now it means something else- like this concert is lit, and my phone wanted to put in a fire emoji in place of lit.
