This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

My son is 16 and said the same thing I did.
Tell your son that I'm 42, and think his generations slang lingo is stupid.
Then tell him I think my generations slang lingo in the 90s was stupid.
Tell him we had "all that and a bag of chips", which meant something, someone, or some situation was the best.
Tell him we also had "salty", which was an emotion of frustration or disgruntlement over recent events which had not gone your way.
Then tell him if he's ever getting intimate with a girl, after the sex is over you would have "poo poo slutty splash time". Tell him that one is too dirty for a dad to talk about with his son. He'll have to google it, and ask his friends parents.
I mean......it's no more hard to believe than "skibidi toilet".
You ok there?
I thought we were going to share relatable nostalgia around "42" but no, we did not.
"Grandpa says 'hi,' son."
