Things anyone over 30 should NOT say
We all know of the words kids should not say or ever use, but what about those that are "still kids on the inside?"
If you have to ask yourself “Can I pull this off?” or “Can I say still this?”, the answer is always going to be a resounding “No!!”
Not only are these words not meant to be in your vocabulary, by the time you know them, they’re already retired.
Drop any of these into a conversation with kids and their facial expressions will confirm my hypothesis. Of course, once you have confirmation, it’s great fun to use these words with your kids, especially when their friends are around. The next time you have to pick up your teenage daughter from school early, have the office buzz her classroom: “Ms. Reynolds, please send Elizabeth down to the office. Her father is here to take her for her bedonkadonk reduction appointment with Doctor Bu-tay. Thank you.”
So here’s my list of things anyone over 30 should NOT say
- Oh snap!
- Adding –iz– or –shiz- to any syllable
- Celly
- Booty, Boo-tay, Bootylicious, Bootylectable, Bootrific
- Bling, Blingy, Bling Bling
- Cheddar
- Bedonkadonk
- Crib (Unless it cradles a sleeping baby)
- Shorty
- Props
- Boo
- Bangin’
- Blunt
- Grill
- Hatin’ or Hatin’ On
- No Diggity
- Wha Wha?
- I feel you
- I feel you, dog
- Yo
- You feel me?
- Text speak: IDK, BFF, BRB, TTYL, LOL, NFW, WTF, OMG, STFU
- You feel me?
And unless you’re asking for bread in a Jewish deli, Holla and Hollah-back are strictly off limits
And just because certain words were cool in your day doesn’t mean you have a license to use them with no expiration. I suggest retiring the following:
- 1950s – cooties (haven’t they found a cure yet?), hopped up (on reefer no doubt), "Think fast!", neato, necking, pop a wheelie
- 1960s – skuzz bucket, fink, fuzz, five-finger discount, far out, groovy, commie pinko
- 1970s – foxy (stone cold or otherwise), “Good night, John-boy”, party hardy, harshing my mellow, boob tube, “Smooth move, ex-lax”, “Breaker-breaker 1-9, you got your ears on?”, narc
- 1980s - tripindicular, grody (partially or to the max), heinous, radical, gnarly, tubular, bodacious
- 1990s – fly, homey, beotch, phat, whassup, po po, shwing or sha-wing, talk to the hand, whack
And finally, things that our grandparents shouldn’t say (ever):
- “S’up, bitches?!” when addressing their bridge group
- Yeah, I totally hit that (back in 1948)
- It’s been four hours and that little blue pill just won’t wear off. Where’s your grandmother?
- Has anyone seen my teeth? I thought I left them soaking in the Efferdent, but it might have been the soup…
- Aw it’s just a little snow. Let me drive.
Got anything that should be removed from a persons vocabulary once they've hit 30? Lets here them!
Until next time....
