One you hear more often (maybe it’s what you meant)
is one you ironically hear even from under-30 people:
“back in the day”.....sounds ridiculous coming from a young
person, especially when it’s in the context of “back in the day, when my boyfriend and I were canvassing for Obama during his first campaign....”
Luckily my son and his friends have no desire to canvass for Obama. They say something to the effect, “ Back in my day, playing basketball.....”. It was only 3 years ago. Come on boys. It seems to mean more when someone like Uncle Rico says that. You know back in ‘82 when I was quarterback.
