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.

I haven't heard Chrismo yet.

I find "Chrissy" annoying enough. Chrismo takes it to another level.

"What are you doing for Chrissy?". "What prezzies did you get for Chrissy?". "We're having a Chrissy party next Saturday". "We're going to Brizzie for Chrissy and hopefully get some prezzies and throw some snags on the barbie and try not to get bitten by mozzies". And people wonder why some of us hate Chrissy Christmas.

And it's spreading. The rest of the world has already adopted "selfie" as a word.

I've never heard of Crissy or Crimbo, or prezzies anything like that.  :dunno: Maybe those folks have been smoking too much christmas tree.  :zoinks:

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.

So we should blame you for "selfie"?

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 think
that the American tendency towards lazy speech would make such endings less likely.

Thinking you have a point.

So we should blame you for "selfie"?

Quote from: Wikipedia
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.

In the UK they do it sometimes. An "off licence" (liquor store) is often referred to as an "offy".

Australians tend to abbreviate words and add an "oh" sound at the end. Afternoon becomes "arvo". Bottle shop (liquor store again) becomes "bottle-o". Service Station (where we buy fuel for our cars) becomes "servo".

Sometimes we also use an "ah" sound to abbreviate words. Cup of tea becomes "cuppa". This tends to be more common with names. Gary becomes "Gazza". Sharon becomes "Shazza".

I heard a DJ use the word "Chrismo" (for Xmas) on the radio this morning. In Sydney. At the opposite side of the country to Ren.

It's a thing now, apparently.
