Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!

I like your ice cream example, but I'm going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

It was a good run!

At least grok has been around since ‘61.

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.

I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

Tell them that the old men on Lemmy say stop it.

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