48 Signs That Made People Realize They Are Getting Old

I find myself in the same place as the writer of this next post, except I feel like I often handle it badly. I have no idea what the cool new slang is, and I have no idea how to talk like the cool kids. But the trouble is that on rare occasions when I pick up new slang, I don’t know when it eventually goes out of style.

So I find myself in the weird situation of not knowing if the slang I use is old-fashioned enough to make it clear that I’m obviously not trying to be cool or whether it’s just out-of-date enough that it’s going to look like I’m trying to be cool but failing at it. I think I’m going to start using 1800s slang just to be safe.
