“Whassup!?”

I used to be the “cool Aunt”. Then I said you shouldn’t single date at 13. Lost my Cool Crown. Became an old one, like a – shudder!! – PARENT!!

I can ‘’Dig It’’ Rory.

When?

Cheer up. It’s hip to be square. Or maybe you just stop caring…

23 skidoo. :)

Rory, you are still the Bee’s Knees.

What’s the buzz? Tell me what’s a-happenin’.

cool or not, we still like ya, Rory!

NObody does Rory better than Rory. Dare to be you : )

Used to be “What’s up?” then “Whassup?” then “’Sup?”. Now I guess it’s just “…’p?”

You need to hang around the water cooler more, Rory.

It’s ‘cool’ to laugh at outdated idioms?

The only thing sadder than an infant of 4 laughing at you, thinking they’re ‘cooler’ because you don’t know what they do, is an angry adult telling you you’re saying “it” wrong. I just smile and say, “if you say so”.

Yes, I did indeed see the movie and I do know the reference. Can you explain the disrespectful tone in your voice?

“it’s hip to be square!”

….before global warming.

Groovy, man. Dig this hip parade.
