[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My problem is a grave one. [b]I have a unique and pretty cool (at least I think so) way of speaking.[/b] I use a lot of sayings like “let’s blow this popsicle stand” and “you’re barking up the wrong tree”. I understand that even though these sayings are clever and fun, they’re not really popular with kids these days. That’s why I was so surprised when DD (15 y/o) began to use these kind of phrases. At first it was just in casual family conversation and I felt so honored, like she was paying tribute to me. But then I heard her using it with her friends, and when she did that, she was doing a silly voice and they were laughing. So what do you folks think is going on? Should I feel honored … or hurt?[/quote]

Gag me (early 80s Valley Girl speak, I'm sure they thought they were unique and cool too).
Jeepers creepers. Your kid doesn't like your jive. (70s)
You're a gas mom. (60s)
Perhaps you are ever so not unique and cool? (50s)
Kid, if you poke fun at my speech, it's curtains for you sweet cheeks! (40s)
