“I work part-time at a brewery as a ‘beertender’ for extra income and free beer. I’m 45, and most of my coworkers are in their early 20s. I like all of them, but boy, did I realize quickly that I was out of touch with today’s slang! We were trying a new beer, and my coworker was like, ‘Damn, this really slaps.’ That was followed by someone else who said, ‘No cap.’ I stood there so confused about what these guys said. Since then, though, my coworkers have taught me all about the new lingo.”
