Your generation had its own slang, too. *not sure how old you are, so I cannot provide examples at this time*

I'm 51. Fire away.

Not sure you would have been old enough in the 70s to use slang, but 70s slang

The slang you used in your teenage years is most likely to be 80s slang

Don't recall using any of those, except possibly 'groaty'. But The Beatles used it, so it's perfectly alright.

I haven't got an issue with slang, but 'doggo' and 'pupper' just seem kind of, well, stupid.

I think I realized I was an adult when my parents started telling me stories about their youth without leaving out the illegal parts.

My father's the one to share funny stories about his adventures as a kid.

My mother's too good for that (apparently).

I only heard stories from my father when he was black out drunk.

Examples:

1 silent "k" in "knife"

2 silent "k"s in "knuckle"

3 silent "K"s in "Republican"...

If only they were silent.

In the last couple weeks I have had the AC on, the heat on, and the windows open...sometimes all three in the same day. Goofy north Texas spring weather.

Long walk today, took 2 panorama pics out on a walk, where there was a nice view of most of the capital.

Got some gel for my hair since it's now shorter. Lets see what I can do with it tonight as I get ready for work.

Also, although I fell a little behind in preparing for returning to school this summer because of hurting my foot, I am taking a skills test next week to see where I stand. Let's hope it's not too late to get everything ready to start the class this summer.
