What words would under 30s not understand? 03:10 - Jun 16 with 12804 viewsGlyn1

I'm starting off with:

Vetch

and

Whelk (thanks Ebo)

Shame there aren't any under 30s on this site. I've always wanted to know if that guy Taylor Sheeran is any good. Someone told me that he was the new Des O'Connor.

Or alternatively, what words do under 30s use that over 30s wouldn't understand?

What a bunch of curmudgeons.

Since retiring I spend a fair bit of time working with student nurses, paramedics, cardiologists, audiologists etc. There are exceptions that prove the rule but they are respectful, hard working, empathetic, caring and bright young people who are a delight to be around.


Those are high end jobs so in order to achieve them they would have to have something about them.

Its the under 25's who just stare into space that do my swede in at present.
You say hello and it's all they can do to muster an audible reply.
They are incapable of starting a conversation, incapable of looking interested, incapable of creating their own work loads, have a chip on their shoulder........but when an ice cream van rolls up jingling its melody they perk up and start running around like mad fools!!
Oh and if you do make a breakthrough and have a conversation......the next time you talk to them it's back to square one as if it's the first time you've ever met them!!!
Plus they think they are rock hard if they've gone to the gym twice in a week.

Go for a walk, Mont. Get out of that bedsit for an hour, or pull the curtains back and open the window at least.

An idea isn't responsible for those who believe in it.

Ha! I’m familiar with that term, not that I’m anywhere near 80 myself but a lot of my reading material is.

Hey it's not us on the streets doing all the arguing and fighting!


It's not the over 60s leaving countless litter on the beach or discarding our kfc and McDonald's wrappers on the first bit of grass they see. But apparently these are the same people that are going to save the planet.

Here's a word I've not heard in decades. Dunno if it's still in use.

Putsy.

It used to mean "easy" as in:

"I bet you can't throw this pebble through that old lady's window from here."
"Sure I can. That's putsy".

According to urban dictionary putsy now means someone stupid.

Plenty of fags and other crap thrown out of windows by old people when I was a child though. Litter was just as bad in the 70s

Ark at this lot...

Plenty of youngsters can spell, and have good grammar, there's more than a few older heads on here who struggle with it.

Same for lumping them all in as being lazy, bad mannered, no respect etc. They are no different (on the whole) to us when we were kids mun.

I want a mate like Flashberryjacks, who wears a Barnsley jersey with "Swans are my second team" on the back.

You wouldnt believe how many people (mostly 20 - 30 year olds) cannot spell, read or write correctly in my job, shocking really when it was compulsory when I joined, if you couldnt you wouldnt make it past the first hurdle.

Absolutely; no appreciation for the fact that it will be largely this generation they're slagging off that'll look after them if they get sick, or as they progress in years.

The amount of people who don’t know basic grammar is getting more.
