I literally only heard of it last week. Was it really that big of a trend to be considered the word of the year?

[–] FenrirIII@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Just heard it 30 minutes ago and was confused

Yes. Old people just lag on these things.

I'm middle-aged with small children. Only heard of this a few days ago.

[–] slackassassin@piefed.social 24 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only middle agers think middle age isn't old. I don't make the rules.

[–] shalafi@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Only young people think middle age is old. I figure I've got another 20 until I really start falling apart.

I'm a terminally online loser who spends way too much time looking at memes. This one has been around for at least 3 months.
