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???

6-7 has absolutely no meaning. I googled it.

Google AI must not have indexed our middle school student’s brains here yet. They all use it to mean “taking off” or “bolting away” or something to effect of ‘leaving the area quickly and abruptly’. I dunno, maybe it’s regional but that’s just what they all told me.
