The other day I mentioned a thing on here about how, bizarrely, due to my various algorithms and interests I know a bunch of GenZ and Gen Alpha slang that I’m too old to use, and someone replied with a very earnest treatise on ageism and how I should use it anyway.
I blocked them, of course, but I should have explained that this isn’t ageism. That it’s important for groups to develop their own dialect and slang that encourages them to be able to have in-group bonding
