Ahhhh thanks for the explanation!

I like your ice cream example, but I'm going to be an old man and say I hate this new phrase lol it reads terribly how they used it.

I'm a young man and I have to agree with your old man take on this. I hate this trend also. A few of my friends have been using it irl conversations.

Don't worry. I'm 25 and neither do I.

I'm convinced we've hit a point thanks to the internet where language just evolves so fast that by the time I'm elderly kids will literally be speaking a different language.

So it goes with language, always evolving. It can be hard to keep up, but the kids are just having fun.
