I don’t mind that language evolves or people shorten things, I’m sure our parents cringed at the stuff we said and did. I try to not be like my parents and be a little more open minded and accepting of things that are different.
Trust I'm not trying to be that guy at all, I just think atm. anyone can make up any abbreviation on the spot and if you don't get it immediately, you're either dumb or a boomer, her superb (rlly) just looks fantastic, and (prolly) is also one of these shitty words that get on my nerves...I think I'm going take off my denchers and go to bed, it's 4:40 PM now 😅
It’s calm bro and I wasn’t really trying to call you out. I guess the people in the wrong are the people judging others for not knowing a word or current slang.
Don’t get it twisted either I’m in my forties and it takes work to keep up with changes in spoken and written language. I’m always on urban dictionary. It’s like how it’s the same for music and every generation loves their music, when you just got to put in more effort as you get older and if that doesn’t interest someone then that’s fine too.
Stressful day today so fear I’m waffling. Enjoy your nap gramps I’m off for one too.
I promise I didn't interpret your comment as a call out at all, 44 here and have 12 year old at home that I do my best to keep up with his slang as well, for me it's different when I hear it than when I see it written that's all, enjoy your nap bro 😊
