Pickles by Brian Crane for November 18, 2022

If you wanna talk with the grand parents Nelson. You need to learn the lingo of us old folks.

Wait until you get older and start using words that your grandkids don’t understand, Nelson!

An antiquated codger, a fusspot.

No, they’ve both been doing it all along. It’s only now that you’ve begun to question it.

interesting how different generations have different lingos, isn’t it?

Just don’t think about why they talk about “dialing” the phone. Or “typing up a recipe”. Or even “longhand” for that matter.

I like the large, capitalization font used, but why is it in bold? Doesn’t that depict yelling or shouting?

Only in email. It works better with presbyopia in comics so let us old timers have our font ;op

Wad’ya mean you don’t understand how us grandparents talk, you little whipper snapper?!?

By gum, easy reading font.

And you, Nelson, are a little curmudgeon.

Least she did not call him and old fart, which I have been called!

Don’t worry, they feel exactly the same about youths speak.

Don’t be such a fussbudget, Nelson.

A coot. A dinosaur.

If yer gonna hang OUT….. at least learn the LINGO

Nelson continues, “Gotta bounce, hang with my woke homies.” Or something else I wouldn’t be able to translate without Google.

This is funny on different levels. I never have understood how some just can not discern the meaning of a word through the context in which it was used.

You’ll be using those terms with your own kids and suddenly chuckle because you ‘got it’. The uncomfortable squirming and contorted faces are worth a few decades.

pshaw – land a Goshen child – haven’t you been instructed in the 23 skiddoo sayings of those flap doodles of old people?

Speak for yourself Opal!

Nelson, you had to be there!

Off ya go now!

It’s not a “font”, it’s hand lettering – and thus liable to variation. But it doesn’t look bold to me.

What would the kid understand, Sponge Bob Squarepants lingo?

He’s more of a codger.

Poor Nelson!

Everyone should stop being such critical “NINCOMPOOPS” :-)

“IT’S CONTAGIOUS!!”

What’s the matter with schools, not teaching important words? fiddlesticks!!

What? I understood forthwith.

Grandpa and Grandma are hard of hearing and the boy speaks loudly, so they can hear him ;-)

Welcome to the generation gap, kid.
