Oh my God one day I walked out of my room and my high school kid looked at me and said:

"That fit shreds"

And it was the first time I had been honestly perplexed by slang, had absolutely no idea what they were trying to convey. Turns out they liked my clothes that day.

I'm so sick of everything being a "fit". OUTFIT. Drip? Ugh.

Oh do I have a song for you. Jason Isbell "Outfit". His dad's advice on being a man.

"Don't call what you're wearing an outfit, don't ever say your car is broke.."
