I've noticed that lately. It went from being everywhere to nowhere and now it's creeping back up. I'll be honest here, I miss the word but if it's hurting that many people who haven't done anything then you're a fucking piece of shit if you use it.

I was rooting for the "gay" renaissance where people talked about how gay everything was but changed it to mean awesome instead of shitty.

That would be pretty gay

Absolutely. I'm still rooting for it but it seems to be kind of petering out here.

Yeah that this is just how millennials talked in high school and we're entering into that "old person stops caring" phase of life about now?

There are none of us in our 20s anymore.

Last time I checked old didn't cover 30s+ even 50+ is still middle aged.

Who've you checked with? Boomers or Zoomers?
