I was in line at the supermarket not to long ago when I showed my age. There were a group of college kids getting an ass ton of beer ahead of my in line. The cashier was just old enough to have been able to sell the beer. I commented, "man those guys are gonna get krunked tonight". He just looked at me like I had a second head.

[-]

OmegaRainicorn@reddit

You saying ass ton reminds me of last week, when I (44) was talking to a 20 year old and said I have an ass ton of old makeup, and she asked me “is that a lot?”

[-]

Unique_Blacksmith247@reddit

Its just short of a-fuck load

For reasons I cannot explain, during Covid I stared keeping a list of “Metrics.”

Before this post, I had: - Umpteen - Megadeath - Metric fuck ton - PFT (pretty effing tight) - FT (effing tight), and - Eight ball.

I officially just added “A-fuck load.”

I grew up saying ‘but-load’.

I call people homedude all the time but I think they just ignore me. However something like 8-9 years ago I worked at a family owned pizza place (laid off, GM was a friend, I needed money and she needed adults working there). So one night I made a joke about “baby Jessica” and not a single person there knew what I was talking about. Granted I’m from Texas and it was a bigger deal but dude, baby Jessica.
