I am old. Thanks for clueing us old people in!

I had no idea 0_o

I'm like almost positive if you're lit it's not from alcohol, more like Maryjane💋💨

As much I like to think of myself as young at heart, I doubt that knowing the slang "fuckboy" is going to come in handy...lol...nonetheless, I have saved Holly's list😏

These are silly.

I literally looked at the title of this article and said "I'm too old for this shit." But hey, apparently reading from the comments I'm not the only one that feels this way, yayyy thank goodness lol

I know these acronyms are commonly used and constantly being created but why? I've survived life without the use of "phubbing" or "lit"...and ya know bcuz I didn't know these nonsensical, childish short forms doesn't mean I feel older, actually I feel wiser. I've never had to say that Netflix thing, lit about being drunk, just say it for what it is...we're entitled to our opinion and that's mine. Rather comical.

@Holly, my opinion has nothing to do with your article I can't wrap my head around immaturity, a fuc* is just that, you're never single for a night, geez kids these days are irritating...oi vey!

I just knew about 'phubbing' ..others ..not really lol
