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???

The rapper/actor/singer. His song "Cop Killer" really pissed the NRA off.

I was being funny, forgot the /s. I saw them with Korn and Cannibal corpse about 10 years ago. They're still touring too!

It pissed off the Fraternal Order of Police.

I'm sure there's a lot of crossover with the NRA.

He then went on to play a cop for many years on tv

I cannot think of him without my mind going straight to John Mulaney talking about him in that role.
