I said the exact same thing - “noodle on it” last week! Why? I’ve never said that in my life!! I don’t even know what it really means or originates from! Why am I leaning into being old?!

I used bad ju-ju the other day in a conversation with my son.

He gave me the weirdest look and asked what I just said. Realized I hadn't said that in years. No idea where it came from that day. He had no idea what it meant.

I said something about making a telephone call the other day and my tween made fun of me for not saying "phone". Apparently "telephone" makes me sound ancient.

I said “off the chain” and a teenager asked me what “off the train” meant.

Other than that most of my dated phrases are intentional to make my kids cringe.

Hankerin sometimes falls out of my mouth. And I’m like what did I just say?

AugenDesDrachen@reddit

I say this sometimes, and my mom of all people has called me out for it. I don't know where it comes from, but sometimes I just get a hankering for something!

Diddly squat. My Dad used to say it when he was accusing me of laziness. It still pops into my head but I’ve resisted actually saying it so far!

My 1st sergeant decided to stop cussing when we deployed. He replaced shit with squat. It stuck with me so I’m always yelling at the kids I don’t give a squat! You don’t know jack squat! And I’ll always pepper it with a diddly.
