    dont even try to escape.

    The doors open. You can leave any time you like. Nobody’s ever tried. Constantly being on the lookout incase youre exposed as “not with it” and paying attention to up to the minute trends is fucking tiring. The moment youre out of the game you wonder why you ever bothered playing it

    Having not heard “washed” before automatically makes me washed. Not that I haven’t already been there for a long time.

    Ok, so I get it from context but before this I didn’t even know “washed” was slang for anything.

          The modern slang term for it is simply a series of hums and noises not fully audible to people over the age of 15.

            Yep, can confirm. And in about six hours it will become an ableist slur against the hard of hearing.

              Then in 9 hours it’ll be completely outdated and in 20 years it’ll come back as washaed and be bip again (god forbid you use trendy or hip)

      I think an unofficial sport of The Internet is to coin new slang and convince others that everyone else is using it.

      Removing the “up” from “washed up” doesn’t seem all that clever, though.

        It makes the meaning more unclear. “Washed up” refers to washing up on the shore, i.e., being removed from the ocean. “Washed” means…you’re clean?

        Apparently it’s a thing. Like saying “it’s giving (cha)rizz(matic) (vibes)” aka “it’s transmiting a lot of charisma” or " it’s charismatic", you gotta infer from the context what the full sentence means.

        I don’t think “washed” by itself is being used a lot, but economising sentences by removing parts and them being inferred via context IS something that is done a lot by young people. We used to just use initials, they are cutting words instead, lmfao.

          I mean look at antiquated English and how cumbersome it is. I feel like it’s the nature of language to become more compact and efficient.

        I was out of town, doing a bit of visiting. I heard my friend KkOma had finally taken the time to settle down in the countryside. Rightfully so, after what he’d been through, with all the pent-up stress and frustration built up over the years of coaching the most successful KR team in League.

        “How have things been buddy?” I asked, as I saw my man step out of the house upon hearing my car come in the drive-through. “All good, life’s been a lot more chill, now that I’ve retired,” he answered. “Hey, wanna check out my animals out back? I’ve taken up farming as a hobby with my free time,” as he motioned over to the back gate.

        We headed out and he started introducing me to some of the livestock, mentioning how he had named them after his players, as the unhinged animals they were. Just then, I was hit by an unbearable stench. With my eyes watering uncontrollably, I questioned through gritted teeth, “What in the hell is that smell?”

        He looked over knowingly and said: "Ah. Faker? The goat is never washed.”

    Fleetwood Mac came on the other day and I was thinking “Rumours is a pretty good album.” Teenage me thinks I’m a dweeb.

      It’s regularly hailed as one of the best recorded albums of all time, so I think it’s okay.

      I burnt Rumours to a cd for my niece a couple years ago when she got her first car. She thinks it’s a good album. ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

    Never bothered with the “need” to only participate in the coolest, newest thing. It’s all just meaningless excuses to shit on others and sooth their own egos. Those kinds of people aren’t worth worrying about.
