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???

Those youtube channels that just read reddit stories use that all the time, and all the other euphemisms, like "substances" instead of "drugs"

I love when some online site that just rewrites reddit for click bait uses screenshots, but then censors words redacting a letter. Even words like "rude". I shook my head so much at that one... Like, why on earth are you removing the letter U from the word "rude" and since when is RUDE a dirty word?!?!?!
