Whenever if feel uncool for being old I just remember that I wasn’t cool when I was younger either, so I’ve lost nothing.

Paradoxically once you get to middle age, the other middle-aged people think you're uncool if you do know slang from younger generations.

It's annoying because I can't help picking it up.

Congrats you've picked up middle aged slang from 10 years ago.

It all comes back around sooner or later.

A few years ago everyone was saying "ouf" a lot, made them sound like my family member who was born in the 1930s.
