        A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I’ve been trying it myself and it’s pretty bussin’ bruh. I’m dripping all over the place now!

          I’m an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like “swell,” “keen,” and “golly.” I’ve been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it’s slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.

          And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?

    I have reached the age where I find gags like this - and the massive cringe effect they inflict on young folks - fucking hilarious.

    i’m comfortable with my fate. who ever really needed hair on their head anyway?

        The thing is, all of the grammar is correct so it’s not actually that cringe. They definitely did their research!

          “can’t stop won’t stop” is definitely the most out of place.

          And “campground” is too many syllables. If someone actually said that they’d replace it with something else

    What’s up? Hit me up at -number- if you see anything that is suspect or distinctly uncomfortable or unimpressive, like (I don’t know…) a toilet that got badly messed up or something. To be honest, we are openly and boldly trying to improve the attractiveness of this campground. We are determined to keep at it until this place is obviously desirable and impressive. We need your help, friends. Thank you.

    Y’all, I’m an Xennial nerd who likes listening to academic podcasts, NPR, and (as frequently featured on NPR) liberal middle-aged white men singing country-blues-rock. I collect fountain pens and watch college football. I am deeply, deeply uncool. I understood every single word of the teen sign. (though, okay, I learned a couple of them several months ago listening to NPR, LOL).

    Does that mean I’m cooler than I think, or the sign is less cool than it thinks?
