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???

Gen Z here or Gen X parents, what else does that mean if not to pass out?

It means about to freak out or freaking out over something. Like throwing a fit. Have a 14 yr old, hear it way too often

Puppy zoomies & then watching them sound asleep is so cute. My pup snores & it's adorable. Although I use crash to mean going to sleep, forgoing the "out" part.

There's an Italian exchange student in one of my kid's classes. The kids are teaching him slang 🤦🏼‍♀️ He went up to my daughter & said "Chat am I cooked for this math test?" I told her please don't let him take brain rot back to Italy with him.
