Oh Ten you’re so smooth Ladies’ man More like Rose man

Fear Her - 2x11

Sorry, but you will have to pry “feels” and “I know, right?” out of my cold, dead hands.

Dear Jennifer Ball:

I am 41 years old. Fuck you, I will continue to communicate as I choose. ‘Feels’ are an entirely different connotation than ‘feelings’. ‘Feelings’ what you have over things that happen in your life. ‘Feels’ are reserved for online and fandom things, and they are DIFFERENT.

The thing about being over 30 and using internet jargon is that most of us are over 30 and are well aware of when it is and is not appropriate to use internet jargon.

So fuck you right in the ear, I will continue to talk about my kittehs (who are totes adorbs) and have feels about things on the internet.

No love,

roane, aged 41 and a half

Not to mention that half of those phrases were created by/popularized by us over-30-somethings, so screw you, Ball, and your vocab superiority complex. Language evolves. Deal with it.

Dude, really? So, like, how old is this Jennifer chick ‘cause this totally sounds like, “MOOOOOOOM don’t embarrass meeeeeeee” Get over it kid. Or bite me and get off my lawn. - Ranuel 49

Yes, at the age of 49.5 with a college degree I am perfectly capable of expressing myself “like an adult” it’s just that at the age of 49.5 I have both learned how to fit my style of speech to the situation and become confident enough to have fun with words in public. Which is a skill you’d think a professional writer would have as well. I really do NOT want to read any attempts at dialogue she might make if she writes fiction.

(eyeroll) Who died and left this woman Samuel Johnson, or Usage Queen, or Arbiter of the Age-Appropriate? Did I miss a memo?

Anyway, one of the things that comes with genuine adulthood is the loss of the terror of being mistaken for a teenager, and of the fear of having playful verbal spontaneity (when indulged) mistaken for immaturity. Plainly she’s not there just yet. Pity her, friends, and move on.

Can I just add that my 68-year-old mother saying “Oh Em Eff Gee” is the funniest shit on Earth and I will defend it to the last.

If You ever think You’re too obsessed with something, just remember that David Tennant used to get in trouble at school because all his essays were Doctor Who fan fiction.
