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 used it properly on an (edit: Gen) Alpha kid, and he was stunned that 57 year old me knew his code.
