Signs Of Old Age

I'm only 25 and I'm already starting to feel like I'm falling behind the times and losing touch with the current youth culture and trends.

I mean, it baffles me how the term "Cam-Whore" (as in "Camera Whore", a person who loves taking photos of themselves) can POSSIBLY be anything but a outright insult....
... or how being called a "Pimp" (as in person who peddles s3x) can be a good thing.

*scratches head*
I'm just trying to think back to my younger days: What slang term popularly used then (in the late 80's or early 90's) would have possibly baffled my parents in the same way?

Well, I really can't think of any.

I certainly didn't walk around labelling myself or any of my friends a "Prostitute" for a giggle.

Hmmmrph.
Anyway....
(I sound like such a stick in the mud! Haha)


Signing Off,

    Ditto.

    I think it's the generational gap cycle thing - everyone will eventually feel that way no matter which generation you're in.

    We can't understand them, they can't understand us...

    Actually, I never understood the current net terms. I just falled in line and used them as they're meant to be.

    We're aging dinosaurs in this blogosphere J. Let's face it and just have fun haha.

    to brother laksa:
    Ok, young man.
    :P
    Just be a good boy and listen to che-cheh J's advice, ok?

    to wuching:
    Well,.. if you're young at heart then you will still be able to relate to youngsters, right?

    to meiyen:
    Haha.
    Nvm - we just accompany each other in feeling like this. At least we know that we are not alone.
    :)

    to merv:
    Yeah - it's a real barrel of monkeys...

    lol 25->Aunty?

    wat status are you going to be when you turn 40? :P

    does it really matter really? :) in the end i think that the terms that you need to know are those that you use with your family and friends ^^

    25 = Auntie so 40 = Granny!

    Haha.
    True... what matters most is what is relevant to family and friends.
    It's just amusing to stop and hve a look at the current youth culture once in a while.

    It's all in the head. The body can age but you can choose be whatever age you want to be....

    True... but unfortunately heads are usually quite firmly attached to bodies.
