Let me apologize first. I'm going to have to use some language here that honestly I wouldn't say in front of… well, at least not in front of my in-laws or extended family. Sorry about that. Well, it finally happened. The moment has come where I said the phrase, "kids these days" after not understanding what has probably become the common vernacular. I always felt that I was hip to the modern lingo, but apparently not. Apparently I'm a 90 year old codger shaking my fist at the hippies with their damned rock music. (See also: Osteoperosis) We recently saw the movie Juno, (which I highly recommend) wherein the title character remarks, "use a dick!" in response to her step-mother telling off an ultrasound technician who made an off-color comment about Juno giving her baby to an adoptive family (because she is so young). I get the sentiment (…I think). I even agree (that is, if I'm correct about the sentiment). But I couldn't help but think… what? Maybe instead of "use" she actually said, "you's"? That would kind of make more sense, I guess. Either way, between this and the Osteoperosis, I am feeling pretty old today.
