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.
Comment on I feel so old.
ivanafterall@kbin.social 7 months agoA 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!

And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?
steeznson@lemmy.world 7 months ago
I believe you could buss’ in a bussy if you were so inclined
khannie@lemmy.world 7 months ago
No. They’re the same. I think the second one has become more popular. You should probably just use that. No cap.

Drip god sounds like a brand of a mop or household cleaning supplies.

Man if I had more fucking ambition or energy, you’re absolutely right and I could be so rich right now but again, I’m lazy and full of depression… but if somebody runs with this idea, can I be on the team? I need a win in my life.

Was watching Point Break again the other day and the desire to speak like a 90s surfer dude is kinda overwhelming, compadre.

Well, that’s stuck in my head now. Time to go find the Metallica cover, if they haven’t scrubbed it from the Internet.
