Don't worry. I'm 25 and neither do I.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.
