Today my nephew said "he says 'poggers' like an old man" then turned to me and asked "did you say 'pog' when you were young, auntie?"
...
Now I don't live under a rock... but I *thought* "poggers" WAS what the young people said ... now... but I guess it's for "old men" ...
I bluff "Oh yeah yeah all the time." Not technically a lie since I'm so damn old that I played with "pogs" (milk caps)
Hope I've planted a landmine that will fill some thirty-something with despair soon.
What *are* the young people saying? Time is a flat circle so it seems like it's "let's gooooo" but in a kind of low key soft voice. Which is very funny. I approve.
What are the youths saying in your neck of the woods?
@futurebird
Ya, youths around here are all mindful of school starting. How young are we talking?
Under 20 or so.
@futurebird
Ah. Yep, it's all school with that demographic. By extension, their parents too.
@futurebird
Summer keeps getting shorter. In yesteryear, nobody went back to any school until after Labor Day. Hell, it's still AUGUST.
I still have a few weeks. But I can't pretend that I can put off all the planning and work I was supposed to be doing anymore.
It's like that joke
"I donwanna go to school!"
"... but you're the teacher."
It always feels good to *be* back. But *going back* is not fun.
@futurebird I hear that. Teachers are always overloaded and underpaid. We're pullin' for ya.
@ClaraListensprechen4
Both school kids and teachers have minor mental breakdowns around this time of the summer.
Where the heck did it all go!
:(
