Amanda the Great by Amanda El-Dweek for April 20, 2022

ohhh never ask a lady about her age (look for hints and take peeks)

Malapert! Now there’s a great old word you don’t hear nowadays. I know language changes (anyone tried to plow thru Chaucer lately?), but I can’t think some is an improvement.

“I’m mind your own damn business years old.”

Alternately, I’m “my first game system was Pong” old.

I’m a Queen-ager.

Now you are forcing these little darlings to google that big word to see if they’ve been complimented or insulted.

I appreciate learning a new word. It might used in stead of snarky. Even better, in conjunction with snarky. Perhaps printed on a t-shirt to totally confuse them. At least until they search it for themselves.

I’m plenty-nine years old

Also, I learned a new word today. “malapert.”

I’d reply with a ridiculously impossible number, like 152, or 8. Just to see what their response was :D

I’m as old as my tongue, and a little bit older than my teeth.
