I've heard it explained that "hey" used to be more of an urgent way to get someone's attention, rather than a casual "hello" like it is now, so it sounded rude to some older folks.
Honestly it seems like most people have assumed that the way things are now is how they'll always be. I'm not sure why everyone seems to think this but I've noticed it everywhere with almost everyone.
There's this sense that everyone seems dug in and rooted and acting like their entire world isn't subject to change on a whim.
It's really fuckin weird.
Life gets more turbulent as you age so you just try to hold the fuck on.
And we don't give a fuck about you thinking we sound like a fifth grader.
Your existence is meaningless and has no influence on the world, let alone our lives, fr fr no cap.
someone on reddit got pissed at me for not writing a 'coherent' comment, ie because i didn't use enough capital letters. so anachronistic, don't you know the style now old man?
Indeed, every elder phone should have a shortcut to the Urban Dictionary.
Many don’t agree with words that have been accepted into Oxford or other dictionaries. So the sarcasm falls flat.
None of what we speak today is "proper English." Languages are constantly evolving.
..or it makes you bad at communicating, which is the entire purpose of your comment, and language in general.
Maybe you shouldn't ride on such high linguistic horses?
I am foreign. Never set foot in an English speaking country.
You aren't foreign, you would be if you were to visit them :p
Also, the kids they were telling off in the early nineties are pushing fifty now and won't take any shit from an octogenarian.
"Fuck off Dad, or I'll take you back to the home!"
