The slang term "cool" - 80 years and still going strong!

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 year ago

Is it one of the most enduring of these kinds of popular slangs?

[-] oce@jlai.lu 14 points 1 year ago

The most enduring ones are probably considered formal English now.

I think so - can't think of a longer-lived one off the top of my head, not counting words that used to be considered slang but became official. "Cool" has always been too cool to not be considered slang!

😎 is pronounced as [bad to the bone riff]

I wonder what the other grandpa is under. Besides grandma, that is.

Hot Grandpa

I wonder what is wrong with the other grandpa

[-] ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca 59 points 1 year ago

Racist grandpa. When he talks about little yellow guys he's not referring to emojis

"You were in 'Nam?"

"Oh don't misunderstand, he wasn't in the war. He was just there last week on a business trip."

You’re in my phone as “Sad Grandpa”

[-] homesnatch@lemm.ee 9 points 1 year ago

That's better than "touchy grandpa"

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago

“Grandpa, It’s no longer cool to say ‘those little yellow guys’”

[-] Aurelius@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I love that they are ACTUALLY in their phone as “cool grandpa” lol

edit: i can’t type

[-] Perfide@reddthat.com 9 points 1 year ago

Well of course they are, they would be lying to their cool grandpa otherwise.

[-] kautau@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well yeah, if cool grandpa asked “am I still in your phone as cool grandpa” and then they said “of course” and it wasn’t true, cool grandpa would teleport there and give them an ass whoopin’ for lying
