“Apple Option Escape” was code for a military operation.
Rebooting required actual boots.
“My phone autocorrected ‘Vlad’ to ‘valued’.”
“Just Google It”
Actually, I think my elder Italian ancestors might have said “Just hide those annoying friends” on several occasions, meaning six feet under, but still.
Also: I just unfriended that jerk.
And that’s why they look so miserable, right?
–>I have no cell coverage.
–>Create a new playlist.
–>Is there an app for that?
Will you burn me a copy?
Honestly, I’VE never said lots of those things. But only because I’m notoriously not “with it.” The apple doesn’t fall far from the prehistoric tree, I guess
How do you add a comment to a Retweet? Have yet to figure that out. I sometimes think smoke signals were easier than figuring out Twitter.
Huh??????
Always telling everyone to Google stuff. Even Mom.
Have you seen her blog?
It goes both ways, the blank stare I got back from my chatty niece when I said “you sound like a broken record”..
We skyped and her haircut looks great.
@Style Maniac in order to all a comment to a RT “retweet” you cannot use the RT button. You have to copy/paste the orginal Tweet into a new tweet on your own and add your comment. (It’s what people used to do before the RT button).
remove cellophane before putting in oven
I’m getting spray tanned at two
we met on e harmony
Non-fat, half-caf venti cap.
okay, not only did my ancestors not say any of that; but I never said in high school or college, for that matter!
The women also don’t talk about “age reverse” or “anti aging” lotion.
Wireless Mouse on it’s mouse pad
“Must Blog that”
Using a GPS to find your way..
I also think of how times have changed since even I was a teen. Remember needing to do a research project and getting books out of the library to do it? If someone was doing the same subject and you dallied you were screwed.
Or getting all high tech and using a TYPEWRITER to do a paper on. Remember that stuff to correct your mistakes? White Out? Can’t even remember the name!
Taping songs off the radio.. waiting forever for the right song to come up..
Or when VHS came out and renting a movie with 10 or your friends was A REALLY GOOD TIME. The VHS’s cost an arm and a leg and so did the machines.
Are those really your relatives Bossy?
Sorry my cell always drops my call when I drive by X.
They have everything on Ebay!
Yep, my ancestors, alright. They are probably 23 and 26 years old. The boat ride was hard on people.
For our girls night out, let’s get mani/pedis.
Do you want McDonalds or Taco Bell for Dinner? I’ll run thru the drive thru.
Where is the closest Atm? Starbucks?
My personal favorite would be, “I need some ‘me’ time.”
Paper or Plastic?
“Where’s the car charger?”
“You can play with your Gameboy AFTER you skype your grandparents”
…etc…
Hard to believe that we didn’t even get a colur TV until I was 13… getting a cassette player when I was 10 was the highest of tech in our village.
“You down with OPP?”
Love this. Just came back to read it a second time.
“I deleted my mail”, “I deleted you”, “Webcam”
About ten years ago, when my grandson was five, he asked if he could watch tv in my bedroom. As he climbed up on my bed, he stared at my 19″ tv and said, “what are those?”.
I said, “what’s what?”
He pointed at the knobs to change the channel and the on/off volume and said, “those!”
I said, “That’s how you change the channels and turn it up louder.”
He said, “That is soooo cool, and you don’t even need a remote!”
Epic.
I think about 65% of what comes out of my mouth would mystify my grandparents, may they rest in peace. But that may also be true for whomever I talk at.
“WTF? My BFF just dissed me on my GF’s FB page.”
“Dude, I had to burn my iPod mix tape to a CD.”
“Drop this hashtag on that retweet.”
I love me some John Cusack.
I kinda like to play that game in the other direction – things I say that my kids have no idea about. Such as, “dial” the phone, “rewind” the “tape”, develop that film, “put another dime in the jukebox, baby” – you get the idea.
