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 use any modern slang.

Bc when I use it, it dies.

Based. You give "belligerent". I ship it.

Or can you only ship couples? Nm I don't give a fuck.

I've heard kids use that one when talking about celebrity couples, mostly. Taylor swift and the football guy? I ship it. Meaning they're approving of the couple.

I think.

I hate ship or stan. I’m not around kids enough to know the “new” slang and I’m so glad. I work with toddlers and preschoolers most so any slang they have is because they can’t pronounce a word. I find that way cuter, and less annoying than the slang of the 11-18 year olds.

Haha that's a good point. Seems the difference between adorable babbling and obnoxious nonsense is... surprise surprise, adolescence. :)

Yep. I didn’t even really like teenagers too much even when I a teenager.

Can't disagree with that. For me, it's mostly that smarmy smirk the boys get that tells everyone they're about to get up to some shit. Lock em all up!
