The first time I heard the expression “bling” (or maybe it was “bling-bling”) I had no idea what was being talked about. :’) Of course, some people say “jew-la-ree” instead of jewelry, so I guess we can’t win... ;’)

That’s the whole point. People in “in-groups” make up terms, then feel themselves superior to those who don’t know the term. It’s moronic.
