    As an old fart, I like saying some of the brainrot to Gen Alphas that I know so that it makes them cringe hard. Sometimes in context, sometimes out of context depending on my mood.

      Semi related, but my mum likes to pretend she doesn’t know what ‘Netflix and chill’ means. She keeps saying it to people. One time I said mum please google that phrase. She said she’s well aware of the meaning and just likes to see people’s reactions.

        Oh no. I feel that. Back when ipods were a thing, I liked to call it my husband’s “tiny radio.” Particularly on planes, with lots of captive listeners.

        But I was mainly torturing him.

        It’s OK - he does similar shit to me. 30 years and counting…

        Real life trolling is much more fun!

        You can turn an entire party against you by insisting jaws is a documentary.
