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.
Both school kids and teachers have minor mental breakdowns around this time of the summer.
Where the heck did it all go!
:(
@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.
