Very unlike you. At what age do people have to cease using new terminology so they don't seem like they are just trying to "look cool?" Many, many people over 55, 65, 75, they still love learning. You would be surprised that there is no age at which most people accept, well, "sit down and shut up." Again, that post was just very unlike you.

I'm 31, and I'm too old to say "on fleek."

Yeah, I'm sorry, certain language words, like certain fashion trends, have reasonable age associations. If I started dropping some of my kid's slang, especially in front of them, I can expect one of two reactions...

(Facepalm) "Daaaaad"

I don't even know what "on fleek" means. So, just curious, at what age does one stop using "on fleek?"

I didn't realize adaniel was talking about "slang." In fact, he never used the word. He also said, "old people," instead of "adult" to differentiate between teen slang and other terminology. I guess it's like only black folks can say the N word? Only fill-in-age can say "on fleek." Got it.

EDIT: Just googled "on fleek" Bustle

"Yeah, yeah, yeah" when I am talking to someone. Usually much younger. If I wanted to hear a Beatle lyric I would listen to the song.

My son does this to me. Drives me nuts. It's the dismissive "I heard you, now move on".
