Rhomberg Rabbit Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 If you're my age and you use the phrase "In da house," STOP. You're welcome. Can you think of any more? Link to comment
NoV Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 Similarly, anyone over 30 using the phrase 'in da club' - we can't get away with using it without a massive dose of irony! Link to comment
Anonymouse Posted July 24, 2017 Share Posted July 24, 2017 The moment I realized I was old: when I told a 16-year-old client that I thought something was "her jam" and she just stared at me blankly. It was the same moment I realized that it doesn't matter how old you actually are, because you will always be at least 50 in the eyes of everyone under 18. Link to comment
Subtly Clashing Wishes Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Anyone know the song 'Jack and Diane' by John Mellencamp? It came on the radio at work one day and I asked my staff if they knew what "Bobby Brooks" were. Someone said socks. Similarly, you know you are old when MKTO songs reference the songs you listened to as a teenager. Link to comment
Kaze Wo Hiku Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 If you're my age, don't say "bae". Actually no one should say that stupid word but definitely 30+ A coworker tweeted one of the signs from The Dark Crystal and so many people thought it was the Deathly Hallows symbol from Harry Potter.

This is no longer a problem for me If anyone ever says "I am down with the kids", they have just given concrete proof that they are not. Link to comment
MaiMai Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 If you're my age and use the term "luncheon" in place of "lunch", please just...just stop. You're barely out of your teens. It just sounds pretentious (though I think it sounds pretentious at any age, really. But especially if you're a 19/20 year old Literature student attempting to sound like an elderly professor because you think it's edgy!!) Link to comment
Chanel_no5 Posted July 26, 2017 Share Posted July 26, 2017 If you're my age and buy hair colouring, you have to be prepared to start looking for the "covers grey hair" kinds. (I'm not there yet myself, but my former classmate is almost completely grey, so... I'm prepared it will soon begin. ) If you're my age, you will actually look older if you sleep poorly. One single night can be the difference between "early thirties" and "mid-forties". All I can say is that I will look smashing in my late 70s... If you're my age, you will probably be someone's role model, whether you know it or not. At least try to be a good one. Link to comment

HideAndGoSneeze Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 I've started to say "Back in my day..." It makes me giggle when I explain to my niece how when I was her age, we had to push that number 7 four times if we wanted to text a word that had the letter 's', and I see the look on her face like "Oh...oh man..."

SleepingPhlox Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 If you're my age you absolutely MUST: Wear whatever fashion you wish and use whatever slang you wish and just rock whatever makes you you without worrying about anyone else's opinion on whether you ought to be doing that or not based on your age and love yourself because life's too short not to. If you are older than me, or younger than me you MUST: Wear whatever fashion you wish and use whatever slang you wish and just rock whatever makes you you without worrying about anyone else's opinion on whether you ought to be doing that or not based on your age and love yourself because life's too short not to. Sorry for not playing the game properly guys. Love yourselves! Link to comment

Pheonix_Mandrill Posted September 19, 2017 Share Posted September 19, 2017 Anything related to "Soulja boy" or things like "lit" "Boiiiiii!" or "man-a-lisa" (Some jocks were saying that one so maybe it's a thing?) Link to comment
March Hare Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 If you're my age, suddenly more and more people who get famous for something really cool... are younger than you. Sometimes by a decade or more. Link to comment
