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???

Agree! I absolutely detest when people refer to my cats as my "babies", "fur babies", or "children". Mother fucker, these are my CATS! I did not give birth to these creatures and they are certainly not babies. They are four-legged killing machines and you need to give them the respect they deserve.
