Hey! No problem. LOL. You know. Like. Literally.
.
. I must REALLY be getting old. Get annoyed over little things - even sounds, like someone slurping soup. But many common everyday phrases. Hey! (instead of Hello) No Problem (instead of You're welcome) LOL (SO overused) You know (common sentence start/finish) Like (you know, like really awesome) Literally (say this to sound smart) Mainly by young folks, not us... . . .

I over-use the word "like" when I'm talking. "Hey there" is a standard greeting. I've finally become comfortable being referred to as "you guys" by a waitress when I'm with a mixed group in a casual dining atmosphere. I still bristle when it's in a more formal atmosphere, or if we're ALL women at the table.
I do not partake of the LOL unless I'm doing it intentionally to be silly. Usually it ends up being lolololollersk8tzoneoneone!!!!!!! or some other similar silliness. I also avoid emoticons (aka emoji), as most of you have noticed. I alternate no problem, you're welcome, you're very welcome, "no, thank YOU!" "any time," "think nothing of it," or my pleasure, depending on who I'm speaking to and what they thanked me for. I don't have a standard response to "thank you," because I'm not an automaton and I'm not reading from a script. I use the word literally on occasion, usually when I'm referring to the definition of a word or phrase; "Antifa literally means anti-fascist. That's a GOOD thing to be. Unless you're a fascist. In which case antifa is a bad thing." I also over-use the word "seriously?" in question form. Because seriously? Who doesn't love pizza? |

Language is organic, some words become more permanent than others. Each generation has their own favorite words and expressions. How many people still use “groovy”? How about “dude”? How about “thee” when talking to a person in the singular? In London, England, for example, one can usually tell the district where a person lives and their social class from the way they talk.

"and err" and "like" as every other word in a conversation drives me nuts.
As for people looking at their phone whilst talking to me! Don't ask!! |

Many young people also talk at 78 RPM, while I tend to talk at 45 RPM. It’s hard for me to mentally stay with the conversation.

All of which continues to push us into irrelevance by those generations behind us. We are now those old folks we used to look at as old folks (those that shook their heads at rock and roll) when we were young folks

With my super duper hearing aids, I can hear a mosquito f**t.
Soup slurpers sound like a suction pump running dry, and as for salad and chip crunchers. Deafening. I take them out at meal times, and enjoy silent munching! |

Some of us manage to keep up, for the most part. And some of these younger kids are really loving 80's music!
