Boy, I sure love owning a house.
Hey, I’m heading into my late 40s and I haven’t been able to say that yet lol
Ouch! I must have slept wrong.
“I’m not THAT old, but …”
“moderate Republicans”
“Knee high to a grasshopper” (short)
“Beyond the pale” (outside social norms, I think. Maybe just strange)
“Dance maven”
“I’ll just do that in my copious free time…” (sarcastically, because you are too busy)
“Copacetic” (it’s all good)
“Heavy” (meaning important, grave)
I learned all of these thirty years ago from a man in his fifties. He was full of interesting expressions.
I’ve started saying “beyond the pale” and “copacetic” after playing Disco Elysium
If the question is things “only” old people say, you have to exclude phrases old people say that were repopularized through media.
“Heavy” (meaning important, grave)
For example this is a really quotable line from Back to the Future, so kids would pick it up.
You just don’t get it, you keep it copacetic…
Let me just talk for a while, you’ll get some
“Nobody wants to work any more” or “kids aren’t disciplined anymore”, and “millenials…something something something” to refer to any generation younger than them.
In my day.
“Here, have a Werther’s.”
Shaking like a dog shittin’ prune seeds
‘Like watching a monkey try to fuck a football’
‘About as useful as a wooden dick on a sawhorse’
Etc.
My knees hurt.
My dad called rootbeer floats “boston coolers” and called BigBoy’s restaurants “Manners”
Im trying to keep boston coolers alive.
Television set.
“Yes I remember vine”
