I have a ton of stuff to learn. 
It's all on the web. But since each younger generation has changed the meanings of words or combined or created new ones I'll have to learn a new vocabulary as well. At least I'm not bored, right?
Woodn't it be fun if all those of us in our 60s started using the lingo we created? 
Most youngsters would really be confuzed don't you think?
Sooo, how many of you who speak American English remember the meaning of the word its a 3 letter word starting with f and ending in ag before the mid 1960s? I think that changed in the 1970s but don't quote me. 
Oh, I took the picture above back in 2013 and simply added text to it. Mykey, the white pup, was my hunter and Ally loved following him around even if she didn't get what he was after.

I remember laughing so hard when my father would call people a fink. Do you remember that word?

Oh yes, I do remember that one. It was used more in the early 60s.

16 is usually when kids start trying to makeup words so their parents won't know what they are up to @Carmelanirel2 I hope your son is more mature than some I've met.

I just keep up with the new stuff they put on it. It seems like every couple years they refer something as simple as deleting with a brand new word that makes no sense to me. OH well, it keeps my brain functioning.
