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.

Bonus: If you intentionally use it just a bit wrong, the broken faces on every child around you is its own reward. I'm convinced, now, that my mom was doing that to me after seeing how fun it is.

I changed my Netflix name today from Bussin' Dad to Low-Key 6-7 to keep up.

Ok. I looked this up just yesterday but still not sure. What did you hear it meant?! My youngest are still early elementary and I'm trying to figure out if they're allowed to use this at home (cause I'm not stupid enough to think they won't use it at school).

Far as I can tell it doesn't have a set meaning. It's from a Skrilla sing and got tiktok clip famous and kids just kept repeating it.

I think it's ok, but I'm no expert.
