Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

Omg I love to just fucking bastardize the slang on purpose.

To relate you need to at least know the slang...

I'm not even 18, HOW AM I OLD?

Where I live, the new thing is that THE YOUTH arbitrarily mix in english with our native language. But I've been doing that for 20 years already.

Still sounds dumb though.

Can we please bring back "groovy" and "radical" / "rad"?

And that's why, as someone with mild chronophobia, I check Rural Dictionary regularly.

I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.

[–] db2@sopuli.xyz 4 points 11 months ago (1 children)

What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

Well then if you manage to pull it off that would be grooved, maybe even the wasp’s elbows
