I had to learn a lot of “lingo” every year, pre-retirement. Most of that wasnt in the dictionary. Professional obligations you know. The world changes.

Also, when you enter a new land you are obliged to learn at least some of the language and culture. “Zot” is a local term dating back at least 20 years.

Look into commas, too. You used two of them, but as periods. And then you left off the period.

"dumb teenage online lingo"


Just to give you an idea of the (guestimated) ages (most FReepers are well over 50yo) of all that have posted in this thread alone (this shows the FR age):

I am FR’s resident word nerd and linguistic purist. I have been here over 20 years and will be 80 a few months.

I wouldn’t know teenage *lingo* without a search engine and I even use the Oxford comma.

You are out of your lane. Capiche?
