1. Bae (short for baby)
2. Yaaasss! (Yes plus excitement)

Oh, they'll all go away, to be replaced with new ones in a few years! I remember my older brother saying "cherry" for anything that in my day was "groovy!" Now he's nearly 75 and says "groovy." I didn't know what GOAT meant!
ReplyDeleteI still say "Cool" as that was big when I was young. I'm a little young for "groovy" - it was out of fashion by the time I hit my teens. I don't understand the "woke" thing - or why it is apparently bad.
ReplyDeleteMy generation said "cool" too. I know what you mean. Certain words can be irritating.
