okay i have a poll i'd like everyone to take

how many people under the age of 50 use the term "spring chicken"?

this is a very important and very serious question

oh! okay, i guess that makes sense, in a weird way. a lot of old phrases are like that haha
so why are you asking, anyway?

[justchords]

a student i tutor thinks i act like an old man because i use the term

i'm 22, i just like old fashioned things

[infreefall]

well they’re kind of right?
if you like old-fashioned things, it does kind of make you like an old man

[justchords]

no it doesn't! i just like things that are a little more classic, they're fun! (when in doubt, deny deny deny.)

[infreefall]

things can be old fashioned and still fun, you know.
like… i don’t know, hopscotch? yo-yos?

i remember when i was little, being able to do yo-yo tricks was one of the coolest things you could possibly manage. i think older things like that hold a special place in people's hearts because of nostalgia
