Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

- Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.
  
  It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.

I thought “yeet” meant “throw”, but now apparently it means “yes”?

- Totes yeet, yo.

  If you aren’t a teenager, that’s the point.

- it still means throw but it is also phonetically close to saying "ye" (as in enthusiastically saying yes with a long 'e' but not finishing the word) so people use it as such

- It's the opposite of yoink. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong.

To relate you need to at least know the slang...

And that's why, as someone with mild chronophobia, I check Rural Dictionary regularly.

- Can we please bring back "groovy" and "radical" / "rad"?

I have this paranoid delusion that if I don't know the newest slang that I am going to be in a bad\deadly situation that I could have avoided if I had known the slang. So I stay on top of it and use the ones I like the most.

- What if the only way to save yourself is to know correctly used historical slang?

  Well then if you manage to pull it off that would be grooved, maybe even the wasp’s elbows
