The Big Picture by Lennie Peterson for May 27, 2023

Love it. The youngsters had no clue as to what a fuddy-duddy was. It means an old-fashioned person who has old-fashioned ideals.The words is an old buddy-duddy as well – it was first used in 1889 when a Texas minister objected to being repeatedly called an old fuddy-duddy -

What’s wrong with fuddy duddy? I didn’t know I spoke olde english. And guess what, I don’t care. :-p

The irony is that this particular strip is around 22 years old. Each generation creates its own slang so that the older generation can be made to look obsolete. What do you young whipper-snappers call old fogeys now?

“Nifty”? “Neat-o”?? You are sooo 2021!

With “Autotune”, we can all be perfect singers. So, what’s the point?

Groovy strip today.

23-skidoo, buddy!

Yes, you are one Hep Cat Lennie. Everything is copacetic, man.

I actually use “fuddy-duddy”. It’s a very good word(s). And if it confuses the kids, so much the better! (Anyone under 50 is a “kid” in MY book).

As long as you continue to be a hep cat.
