No mames lol
So the legends are true.
In the 80s they let us say bitchin’ in class because ‘‘it’s just slang for good’’
I need to say bitchin’ more. I forget that word exists.
Typically, the sequel leaves a lot to be desired
I get like 3 or 4 of those. Some of them I’ve heard out of context so I have no clue what they mean.
I’m 39.
I’m 10+ years younger and I know maybe two thirds of them.
Story time! When I was in high school (~1998/99) a group of kids decided to start a “gang.” I went to a small Baptist school. Kids were bored. This was maybe second period. They called their gang the “Yo’s.” Saying “Yo” was pretty much the extent of their gang. By lunchtime a group of us got annoyed and decided to start a rival gang called the “No’s.” The Bloods to the Yo’s Crips. The sign you were a No was you grabbed a brown paper towel from the bathroom and wore it hanging from your back pocket.
Anyway, just before dismissal everyone was called into an assembly and given a lecture on gangs and told that anyone wearing a brown paper towel would receive a detention. I am still amused at how seriously our administration took this obviously stupid and juvenile joke.
We weren’t allowed to wear hats because that meant you were in a gang…
Early 90s they were TERRIFIED we might wear gang color shoe laces.
Not to be confused with band words:
- practice
- scales
- tuner
- first chair
- recital
- solo
- clarinet
- John Philip Souza
- hot cross buns
- tuba
- bassoon
- glockenspiel
I would still ban Souza
What about Kenya?
I thought I was old when I discovered I had arthritis. This makes me so feel much older.
How often was Emma saying Tweaking to get her own place on the board?
My thoughts exactly.
“Cold in here?”

As always, the best way to get kids to stop using these words is to use them yourself. Use the ancient cringe-power to disarm the youth 🦹🔥
Ohio gozaimasu.
This generation really is doomed - but not because of these words (or anything else it does, really)
Ligma balls lol
