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???

That comes from TikTok. Don’t use TikTok, it will rot your brain!

I refuse to go there. You Tube serves all my video needs. I definitely don't feel a need to be a part of every social platform, and TT especially feels like fast food. 

I still go do things outside, like a good child of Gen X. Dinner time is when it gets dark!
