If we do NOT renew our thinking, it can become stale. One advantage to travel and to new friends
are the new things to learn. Two of my
favorite new things are really new slang terms:
“Re-tweet” is a most modern way of saying, “that’s worth repeating”! I like it.
It’s short, it’s an inside slang that only a few will understand.
The second one is, “Wow, that’s Gucci!” Of course, to any thinking person, that
means, “That’s top-notch!” Of course it
does.
From what I can tell, these terms are only used by the
youngsters of 2015. I discovered in
Africa that if I knuckle-bumped like a famous young wild African rock musician,
the young folks would laugh, reliably.
As an old professor teaching very challenging material, I need all the
laughs I can get. For an old, out of
touch prof to exclaim regularly, “Re-tweet that!” and, “Wow! That’s Gucci!”, should at minimum get a
giggle.
I hope so, after all, these terms are both “Gucci!”.
Retweet!
