@ElleGray The advantage is you can torment them endlessly by leaning into it. I lose count of the number of times my teen informed me that I have lost speaking privileges after I deployed some GenZ slang....

@pooserville oh yes. I've tasted the power already. Right now when they make me guess any song's singer I say "Kanye West?" For some reason it's driving them crazy

@ElleGray That just means you have to show dominance by mocking them even more mercilessly about things they're too young to understand.
