Tale as old as time. The new generations always have new slang and new cultural norms. All of us confused our elders.
I remember when things like “dude” was a new trend in the late 70’s / early 80’s. My parents and grandparents used to say we sounded like cowboys.
Makes me think of the scene from Easy Rider where they explain "dude" to Jack Nicholson.
