I wish I had less self consciousness so my vocabulary consisted of more than fifteen words.

I add words to my online vocabulary first, and when I'm comfortable slipping shit like bet and yeet and based into my comments I start slipping them into my real vocab

As an elder millennial, I'm fascinated by the slang and youth lingo these days. If you know any you think I might not have heard please share.

Charisma, particularly (but not necessarily) with regard to the opposite sex

As usual, the best dictionary has an entry on it! It isn't exactly the same as my definition, but I'm not some prescriptivist who's gonna say it's wrong

We used to say things were a total "cot death" back in the early 90s. Strangely that one didn't catch on outside of that specific friend group.

A friend of mine somehow said “rad” in a way that was ironic, gently mocking, and sincerely complimentary at the same time. It was perfect. I don’t think I’ll ever meet someone else who manages to say any word in quite that way.
