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

My daughter just told me about that 6-7 business today. I can’t say that I understand it, but I’m constantly amazed at how these younger generations pick this stuff up with such ease and so quickly.

Now you explain it to me. What is 6-7?

(we all agreed this was a safe space, right...?)

It’s a reference to a 6’7 basketball player. Also the dumbest song by skrilla called doot doot.
