I have not heard that one yet. But then again, I am so out of touch, it's not even funny any more.

A number of months ago, I made a general comment about a new language type thing to one of my nephews (about 30, so still a millennial, has no idea how to operate what us old timers call a home phone). He, of course, promptly denied there being any sort of new lingo going on.

My teen age daughter uses new words every week.. I don't even try to keep up.
That's as old as the hills here.
Common response, particularly from a teenage female - "So......."
And the list expands.
"so we can get your subdivision approved...."
So, is she expecting again yet?

I've been complaining about the evolution of our language for a long time, but it's just going to happen no matter how much we scream.
The change the offends me the most is "try and..." rather than "try to..."
"I'm going to try and fix that." just pisses me off!

Can you feel the love?
The one that gets me is "whatever". It seems they just ran out of ideas and decided to blow me off. So, I mean, like wow man, what a bummer, ya know?
The only one I "know" that overused "so" is still having a temper tantrum about a recent time-out. 😉
