you’ve got the option to find a new phrase.”
Recently, IaskedtheBuzzFeed Communityto share the outdated slang their parents still use.
The results had me rethinking my entire vernacular:
1.
“My dad is a boomer and says ‘holler at me.'”

Strangely, my two kids like it more than me.
They think he can do no wrong, though."
