THINGS People Say

I was thinking the other day, the different slang words used with each generation and are they different by generation and/or area you live in? 
This curiousity caused me to start looking into words I have heard (like ones my mother uses)and also some (my kids use), to see what their real meaning is.


This is what I came up with. Honestly a couple of these I had no idea what their true definition was. Now does that make me out of touch? Who the hell knows.


So see how many of these you can guess what generation they came from or the meaning of the word. 

Also please share any words you use that didn’t make the list.



I always love to learn new words.
