Seventy Years (or what ever old age makes it ridiculous) Young.I am sixty three, now and I am NOT young. It does seem that I am better off than quite a few of similar age as I look around, but the arthritis still hurts.I am NOT sixty three years young!My wife is fifty five, now and the other day a security guard where she picks up early air shipments for UPS said to her, "Good evening young lady!" She was home later and told how old it made her feel for a thirty something guy to call HER a "young lady."Last week at the grocery she had a huge basket/cart of goods and allowed a younger couple with a much lighter load to go ahead of her. The man turned back to thank her and gave her a hug. How OLD does a woman have to be for a young man to hug her in front of his wife? Pretty damn old.

My friend has picked up an awful word from somewhere. Chrimbo. Instead of Christmas. Anyone heard this? I dislike it very much.
Maybe it's an Aussie thing?
Quote from: odeon on December 09, 2018, 03:43:25 AMMaybe it's an Aussie thing? Not so much slang, just st an annoying way a lot of Australians speak. Chrissy instead of Christmas, prezzies instead of presents, barby instead of barbeque, mozzies instead of mosquitoes, brizzie instead of Brisbane. Selfie started as Australian slang in the same vein.

Selfie started as Australian slang in the same vein.I'm wondering if the peculiarities of Aussie speech (i.e. where in the mouth words are formed) makes this a more attractive route. Yet, it would seem even more likely to have happened in England itself. I would thinkthat the American tendency towards lazy speech would make such endings less likely.
So we should blame you for "selfie"?
By 2013, the word "selfie" had become commonplace enough to be monitored for inclusion in the online version of the Oxford English Dictionary. In November 2013, the word "selfie" was announced as being the "word of the year" by the Oxford English Dictionary, which gave the word itself an Australian origin.
