My partner is within a few months of my age, but was not online much until she was in her late 20s so missed a lot of these things (though not badgers, I don’t think anyone missed that). So I had to explain why I always say ‘we like the moon!’ When I see a full moon and always follow the word ‘dirigibles’ with ‘and Zeppelins and lightbulbs’.
She also hadn’t seen Strong Bad, so needed to be introduced to Trogdor to understand why I always say ‘Sworded!’ Whenever my character stabs something in a game.
