wait till Kate hears of this “lexicon”

How you do fellow ,kids? Got that totally cool rizz to hang out with the bros and chillaxing. Groovy! Like yeah, boo-yah.

This is a scary combination.

I remember ‘tubular’ from high school!!

You’re also a PITA—but not as much as your sister.

Gnarly!

gag me with a spoon

Grody to the max

Radical and gnarly, broseph.

Generations have been incomprehensible to their elders for approximately as long as we’ve had words. A Good Comic.

That’s dope.

Tubular Bells; a great album!

Well aren’t they the cat’s pajamas.

23 skidoo, kid.

Looks like Adam’s able to channel his father and his grandfather.

Adam is a swell.

What’s good for the goose …..

Peace on, man

the cat’s pajamas

Something tells me that the new and improved GOCOMICS are going to be next to unusable.

Aren’t all words made up in the beginning?

I’m old. One of the podcasts I listen to is Blocked and Reported, hosted by a couple of 40-somethings. Some of the words and acronyms they use, I have to look up.

When it comes to using slang words, Clayton, the son, and Adam, his father, are many decades apart. Clayton is using modern expressions. But, Adam is using word from the Beatnik Generation of the latter half of the 195os. I am reminded of Bob Denver in the role of Maynard G. Krebs on “The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis.”

This should’ve come with captions.

I tried to leave a popular one from my youth that’s a female dog with an “ing” only you exclaimed it without pronouncing the g “(word)in’”. The site wouldn’t post it.

I think he meant “totally tubular”!

Reet, Jackson. Beat me daddy, eight to the bar.

Those are all cromulent words.

He’s da bomb!

I gotta side with Adam on this one. Some of the terms kids use today are analogous to slang from the past. You can infer their meaning from the context, like “sus” or “rad” for something from my era. But “skibidi” and some of the other nonsense that comes out of kids mouths really sounds like nonsense for the sake of nonsense. Maybe more like Pauly Shore in his heyday.

But is Clayton a hoopy frood?

Copacetic.
