So my much younger cousin, who turns 19 this summer, has recently acquired a tattoo. He has pictures of it posted on his Facebook page and one of his friends left a comment. And I quote, "Sick Tat". What on earth does that mean??? When I was a kid, we called things righteous, and rad. And we thought we were uber-cool when we said, "no guff" (see, look at me being all hip with the uber talk). But sick tat? I don't get it.
I think I'll go put some moisturizer on my old lady hands now.
It was obviously a picture of a cat throwing up. Except the writter of the facebook page does not know how to spell "cat" because kids today do not know how to spell
ReplyDeleteI have no idea either! I feel old.
ReplyDeletePeople, PEOPLE !! Sick means cool - it's a compliment. (I work with teenagers)

I learned the new use of the word "sick" from the motorcycle-making show...is it "American Chopper?" We quit watching it months and months ago...
ReplyDeleteGetting old is not always fun...
translation for 'our' generation...it means 'rightious tatoo!' LOL!
ReplyDeleteBTW....
ReplyDeleteI did get your emails....haven't been ignoring you...have been VERY much under the weather...will explain by email soon :)
It means the tattoo is "like 90".
ReplyDeleteI recommend not using the new expressions. Got me into a lot of trouble when I called the CEO's presentation "Sick". Then I had to explain that it was actually a complement and that I really want to keep my job.
