I'm exaggerating about myself too. At least a little

I like to stay connected with the youth though. I was telling Undisciplined that I will randomly throw some gen Z lingo at my son. The first time I did it I ran around the house boasting about how young and cool I am. My wife said to my son "is your dad driving you crazy" and he said "yes, he is using gen Zisms to try and sound cool and the worst part is he used them correctly".

Ha! The other day I floored my daughter by casually tossing in a reference to an NPC while we were watching tv. She was amazed. I said it's because I hang around with all these SN kids.

NPC?? Isn’t that a pretty well known situation to anybody online? I see it everywhere. I love the NPC memes that use the regular keystrokes for features.

Maybe my daughter thinks I'm even more out of touch than I am.

Yeah, I sometimes get that attitude from my sons, too. I especially don’t like that “What are you trying to say” look they give me.

I think if you are heavily online you are bound to pick up some of the cultural elements and lingo of the younger generations.

I have a limited set list. I have a few classics I can go to but my catalogue is not extensive.

I only try it on my sons, now-a-days. It doesn’t work well for me anywhere else.

I won’t try that any more. They take one look at me like I am speaking Japanese to them and give me that look that says, “Whaaaaaaaat? What are you trying to say? Are you speaking some foreign language at me?” At that point, I just give up with the jargon and newspeak.
