The reinvention of the English language

[Dwayne]

I can't stand the # crap.

Yeah I don't get the use of the pound sign either, what's it mean?

Each generation changes the language somehow.

Yall old folk act like your kid's generation didn't popularize the word "dude" that nearly everyone uses now.

Then there is the popularization of the words "copacetic" and "groovy" before their generation.

Out of the 50's came "Daddy-O", "Dig" (I dig that), and even "hauling ass". The most popular is probably the "Goodbye. See ya later, alligator. Response: after a while crocodile."

Every generation has their own mainstream words and slang terms that they use. Some will die out, some will stay.

Troo Dat Yo.

Its a social media thing. Twitter, insta, facebook, etc...

I was trying to be sarcastic, hence the wink and tongue.
