They've added more words to the dictionary again- and they're not words, of course. Shazam. Kids today excel at talking utter nonsense! It's not like it used to be! Groovy. Cpwabunga. Hullaballo. 23 skiddoo. Womp-bomp-a-loo-bomp. Grok. Cool. Alakazam. Scooby Dooby do. Fiddle-dee-dee. Cat's pajamas, toots. Not listening! Tra-la-la-la-la-la!
