      A time-proven antidote to aging is incorporating more youthful slang into your vocabulary. And before you clapback at me, I’ve been trying it myself and it’s pretty bussin’ bruh. I’m dripping all over the place now!

        I’m an older guy - over 60 - and I absolutely love using slang that was popular before I was born. At work, I liberally say things like “swell,” “keen,” and “golly.” I’ve been doing it for years; when I started, everyone knew what I was doing (most laughed), but now there are a lot of folks who are young enough that they just assume it’s slang I grew up with, which makes me laugh.

        And just to clarify, it is my understanding that “pretty bussin’ bruh” is quite different than “pretty bussy, bruh”. Correct?

            Man if I had more fucking ambition or energy, you’re absolutely right and I could be so rich right now but again, I’m lazy and full of depression… but if somebody runs with this idea, can I be on the team? I need a win in my life.

        Was watching Point Break again the other day and the desire to speak like a 90s surfer dude is kinda overwhelming, compadre.

      What is HMU? The only thing that sounds right if I rack my brain, is “holler me up”, but idk I’m mentally old and can’t keep up with “hip” culture.
