There’s more than a few of us who have a growing concern. Some have sailed beyond the waters of desired importance while others of us wonder what it means when a Gen-Z looks at us and says we’re snatched. I scratch my head and wonder. The other day our 18 year old granddaughter said to me I look drip, I looked down to check my pants and see if I had accident.
I don’t want to be misplaced, replaced or forgotten. So here’s a list of current lingo for all those groovy people out there who want to know (from an AI source):
