Does This Make Me Look Old? is a podcast about aging, that was started by two friends who are in denial about getting older. Talking to each other helps. Talking to the rest of the world might help even more. Like it or not, they will age - with, or without grace!

episode 10: Season 2, Episode 10: 80s and 90s Slang and Do We Still Use Them, Part 2
Cheugy! Simp! Snack! TFW! Sheesh! IYKYK! Bet! GOAT!
This week it’s Gen Z slang all the way.
We channel our inner ten to 25 year old and quiz ourselves game show/spelling bee style (“Can you use that in a sentence?”) to see how Gen Z proficient we are. We’ll touch on bro, brah, fam, glow up, cancel culture, CEO (Like “Sim and Shiv are the CEOs of podcasting!”), Stan (shout out to Eminem), e-boy and a-girl, W, dank (excellent) (“That ride is dank”), ghosting, salty (jealous), big yikes, and more unique and memorable Gen Z slang meanings.
How proficient are you in Gen Z slang? Have you heard and/or used any of these terms? Care to share? Shoot us a note at doesthismakemelookold@gmail.com.
Also, are you Team Shiv or Team Sim when it comes to your slang use?
