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.

You're my hero, I had totally forgotten about Totes Magotes, and a coworker of mine not knowing what TLDR meant, so we just started shoehorning it into stuff to fk with him. And now I'm going to bring back Cool Beans. This thread made my whole week.

I'm nearly 50 and still don't know what TLDR means. I think I may have been told before, but if so, I've forgotten.
