    I’ve got a friend who was slightly too old when the word yeet became popular. He decided he would use it confidently, often, and incorrect. He still does.

    He’s excited to embarrass his kids by doing that with whatever the current slang is when they are 12 or 13.

      My minion is still too young for that. I plan to wind them up mercilessly however. Right now, dad jokes are the height of humour to them.

      • “I’m hungry”
      • “Hi hungry, I’m dad!”
      • “Nooooooo, I’m not called hungry!”
      • “So why did you tell me your name was hungry?”

      I’ll be a little sad when it finally gets old.
