    I’m going to pass on that. The whole thing is a bit too silly for my taste.

      Each to their own, but I may remind you that whenever your generation was growing up it’s incredibly likely that you were using words your parents didn’t use.

      I can see you’ve already been informed how language evolves, and if you can’t accept that then I don’t know what to say. I guess I could ask why you ain’t talking all Shakespearean?

        Lighten up, kid. Just because I chose not to partake in some flavor-of-the-week slang, doesn’t mean I’m unwilling to keep up with change.

        I’m allowed to have an opinion that it’s fucking dumb.

        And if it’s Shakespearean that you’re after….

        Verily I perpend that though mayest o’er-rauhot thine aversion to proclivity and hastily fornicate thyself with nigh but the expertly expedience of one so deserved of such an unpregnant act.

          That’s just old legalese. If you want Shakespearean you at least have to make it look like iambic pentameter.

          flavor-of-the-week slang

          Yeet has actually been around for multiple years now. People have been saying it since at least 2018, probably longer.

          Hence me writing each to their own. I would have thought that conveyed that I support you right to have an opinion.

          kid

          To a 40 year old. Gee thanks buddy for the condescending tone.

          lighten up

          And goes on to say

          I’m allowed to have an opinion that it’s fucking dumb…

          Have a wonderful day. I was merely trying to point out that language changes. I tried that in a civil manner, perhaps that didn’t come across.
