Yeah! These square millennials and gen z w/their damn slang hack me off so bad I might flip a wig! They aren't like the the cool cats who worked hard making scratch to spend the night in our groovy threads while laying patch in a deuce coup at the drag strip!



now you're going back several generations, there is something cool about slang that naturally(or organically as the young punks would say,) evolves but the current generation feels they have to force some new slang on every word they come across, most of which is not clever or funny and usually doesn't make any sense

Were they aware that it was urgent? If not, email should be the default. It's always better to get things in writing. None of this "I was told..." No bitch, show me where you were told.


That's what a follow up email is for, if it's absolutely necessary for CYA purposes. But most of these questions are inconsequential.

This "ability" to look up anything on the interweb, but don't wanna learn anything or actually read a book.

Use plural pronouns for a singular person.

I am fine with ze or zim or whatever but them and they are 2 people not 1 person.

Most of the old folks I know who complain about this are dickheads who haven't done anything to earn respect.

It doesn’t piss me off, but I do cringe whenever I see or hear a young person using this as some sort of insult. It’s got to be one of the most lame insults in history but young people are so impressed with themselves whenever they use it.

I have really grown to despise the word "they." People default to it now, even for people of known sex. Absolute treasonous schlock.

Business decision.

If you can't play at one school, but you would be an upgrade for another school.. Why not?

And there is only 1 starting QB so you can't blame a QB who could start at another school. What you want him to do? "Im going to show I am loyal by being a backup instead of going start at a smaller school"..

They won't get on the phone to speak to a client. "I'll just email them right quick." No bitch, we need an answer now.


We had a guy today saying "I'm not going to get in the face of my customer on the last day of the year demanding an answer."

Their client is some bottom feeder in a government agency.

If you can't get in some bureaucrats face to make things happen you'd never survive in the real world.

I just shook my head. Some people make things happen. Some people wait for the chickens to get plucked.

The singular use of they has been around a lot longer than you have, and longer than your great great great great great great great great grandparents as well.

I am aware, but to default to it the way young people and media outlets do now is absolutely a new phenomenon.

I am 34 and have worked in restaurants for a very long time.

This isn't THEM KIDS AIN'T shite, I could have said that at 24 or 29 but did not feel that way.

The kids aged 18-21 now, more than any group ever aged 18-21 before them, are worthless.

Just absolutely worthless on the whole.
