I can’t get this urban vocab straight,
I am way beyond my ‘sell-by’ date,
In times gone by, it might seem dull,
There were simple uses for the word ‘scull’,
A bone, some oars, a rowing boat,
And you ‘sculled’ to keep the craft afloat,
Now it means, well what do you think?
Amongst other things, in a single gulp, you down a drink!
And ‘pepperazzi’ take shot after shot,
Of food they’ve eaten, whether you like it or not!
Putting someone ‘on blast’ is extremely cruel,
It means you make them look like a total fool,
What about bare and what about sick?
Not unwell or nude but great or sharp as a tick,
And what of bad? It’s understood,
That now ‘it’s bad’ actually means that it’s good!

Methinks that the language has gone straight to pot 🙂 From a poem I used to teach years ago. – Great post
Me too! Thanks Carol!
You have trouble keeping up to?!
