Teenager speak

 When did "So… Yeah…" become punctuation?

I know that I have used it here. On occasion. And I hide my head in shame.

But, really. When did the punctuation rules change? I never got that memo.

I like some of the phrases that they use. . . in an eye twitching sort of way:

Wizard = Cool!
Fo shizzle dizzle = for sure! yeah that's great!
Bling bling.

I will be honest. I actually had to look that one up when I started hearing it. 

Now? I just look flat out dumbfounded as I ask the teenagers "What in the SAM-HILL Did you just say? All I heard was: "aksdjfkajoijfljkjdkf < boys > ajsdkfjlajlskdjflj".

They always laugh "Oh Motherboard! You’re so funny!"

I guess this is a sign that I am "fo sho" getting "C.T.D" or circling the drain.

{Sigh}

Language has sure changed since I was a teenager.

"Hun! Nut-uhh! Like don't have a cow, but that Dude was totally checkin' you out!! Gross me out to the max! Gag me with a pitch fork!"

Remember those days?

What kinds of things did you say?
