What words would under 30s not understand? 03:10 - Jun 16 with 12394 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?

Kvetch - which not many people over 30 know either, and ties in nicely with Vetch.

E.g. "The constant kvetching on Planet Swans has driven me off the forum".

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

Should have topped the list really, you’re quite right.

The way things have gone soon we can add 'mortgage' to the list.

They don't understand that it's 'have' not 'of' if we're on grammar. How many of us over 30's have good grammar though?

Just my opinion, but WTF do I know anyway?

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.

You forgot perspective and context, though they probably do understand them they just refuse to use them.

I reckon they have gotten love and hate mixed up too.

Agree, although respect came to my mind, I immediately thought how unfair, blaming the attitudes of the few, on the many wonderful young people around our globe.
