now you're on the trolley

I use a lot of "street" vernacular, I could lie and say that I just do it because it keeps me in touch with 'mah rootz' but really I just have a shitty vocabulary. But I'm starting to realize that as I'm getting older, I just don't know what the slang means and I don't learn the new words. So rather than face the fact that I'm too old and boring to be one of the cool kids any longer, I've decided to use 20's slang. I'm not going to try to be 'pimp' anymore, I'm going to be the cat's meow. I don't want to get 'fucked up at da club', I'm gonna get splifficated at the juice joint. And I don't want cool stuff to be 'tits', I want it to be jake. I want to put on my glad-rags, go to swanky parties, drink a bunch of giggle water and get an edge, meet some big six and hopefully get some cash rather than a check. It'll be great because a) nobody will know what the fuck I'm talking about and b) my nostalgic use of the language from another era will totally keep me from turning into one of those old people that tries so hard to keep up with "youth culture," you know the person you laughed at when you were younger.
