Washed

[agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works]

About a century before, Merriam-Webster cites the first recorded use in 1928.

It depends on whether TikTok has revitalized them. Also Cash was really popular for a minute with the teenagers when the movie came out.

Only like 20-30 more years before I can unironically quote this irl.

Don't worry it'll fly by in no time

You can be old at any age depending on who you're talking to lol.

Washed up has been in use for a long time. I have no idea how they decided it was a 2020 invention. Some AI search probably told them so.

Are you sure? With my knees, you'll need to help me up again.

All the new slang is just abbreviation, e.g. based, riz.

I saw that tour with Billy Joel and Elton John, too. To date, still one of the best concerts I've been to. Face to Face. Wish they'd done a DVD of it!

[fiskfisk33@startrek.website]

they're off by a full century

[krauerking@lemy.lol]

I saw one of the shows from that tour too except Billy Joel was like just absolutely wasted drunk and kept falling off his piano stool and couldn't remember the lyrics. He even tossed the bench of the stage at one point and a stage hand had to run out another chair for him.

He kept playing the piano the whole time basically perfectly though which was absolutely wild.

Why do we need to shorten a two syllable word?

My knees hurt.

[prime_minister_keyes@lemm.ee]

Funny you should say that. Near the end of WSB's 1953 novel "Junkie", IIRC, the main protagonist complains that he doesn't understand the slang of the new generation anymore. For example their use of "that stinks!"

What's based? Sorry I'm washed.
