When my son was a younger teen, I’d look up the cool new slang words, and casually throw them into conversations with him and his friends. I never tried to actually use them correctly. He’d groan and roll his eyes. His friends would laugh and think his dad was a nerd.
One time I said a word wrong and they all laughed. Soon they were saying it as a joke. Then it became a word they just used.
I never saw it used online, so I don’t think I made a change in slang usage anywhere else except for a small group of middle schoolers. But I find it funny how it became accepted so quickly. And then forgotten just as quick.
What was it?
You know when you think something is swell? Call it "cool" instead.
