I’m phoning it in again, but play along anyway.

13 out of 20 for me.
I’m old, but not cards in the bike spokes or Red Rover old.

How about you…
What’s your total?

After reading a friend’s post a few days ago ( Hi Grace! ) I followed her lead and searched for the new words that were added to the dictionary the year I was born.
( Yes smart asses, they had dictionaries back then. The stone tablet pages were just harder to turn. )

Let’s take a look shall we?

I admit to having to look up anxiolytic…. which was stressful and might make me reach for one.
.
Being the last year of the boomers, I was surprised to see it took that long for the phrase to be admitted.

Baggie and banana seat? Both of those were featured prominently in my formative years…. and for completely different reasons.

I only got halfway through the definition of bioturbation.
When I came to the defecation of sediment grains part? I figured I’d heard enough.

But damn, call forwarding and call waiting? I don’t want to be blamed for those.

Important update..
Because I know you hate to be left hanging.
The old old, my ass! nothing should die in 6 years except reality tv shows. Why are they still alive? fridge.
The new black stainless steel OMG don’t walk near it with anything sharp finish fridge –
The old no damn it, it wasn’t! fridge –
The new polish with the grain, who the hell knew stainless steel had a grain? fridge.
Delivery was a logistical nightmare. It wouldn’t fit through our kitchen door, even though it was the exact same size as our old one. The kids who brought it (yes, they were younger than me… that makes them kids) couldn’t figure it out for the life of them and were dismantling it piece by piece in our front yard when (wise old me) suggested they bring it through the (larger) front door.
With age comes wisdom.
And wrinkles, and bunions, and hot flashes…
But I digress…
Once they wrangled it inside, the kids couldn’t get the water dispenser to work and were frantically searching manuals and calling for assistance when I suggested they turn the water line back on.
So after 2 1/2 hours dealing with morons we had a brand new fridge.
With fancy graduated lighting for my husband Goldilocks who wasn’t satisfied with anything else….
As well as quick ice and turbo cool.
So worth the extra $700.
