Okay, as i get older i run into more of these scenarios where the new lingo is mostly beyond me. However this is not a complaint, if anything i'm more confused at how i grew up hearing "it'll happen to you!!" doom and gloom over frustration of youth lingo, yet i revel in it.

I find it fun in the way that new languages are fun, minus most of the work. Usually the new phrases are just a new word or two, far from the effort of learning a real new language.

And as a bonus you can then use the new lingo and make the youth groan out of second hand embarrassment. It really is a joy that i don't get why my older folks from my youth didn't enjoy. Then again i have zero concern about getting older (beyond health decline of course), so maybe that's the root of it.

Regardless, i bet i'm Unc. Lets see.

edit: Unc Score: 30, Soft Unc
