[justchords]

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

this is a very important and very serious question

Comments

[livens]

you could honestly even go upwards of 50 here

[robitussin]

approximately 0

[devilsadvocato]

I feel like I'm going to say this in an upcoming conversation now but only because I was reminded of the expression.

[dumber]

oh hey granny used to call me that

[toobigtohandle]

I am 24 and I have never even heard that expression. What is it supposed to mean?

[matchbreaker]

[ . . . She feels called out. It's not something she says a lot but she has said it once or twice before. ]

I picked it up from my mother.

[windowdressing]

Not frequently, but I'm familiar with it.

[ why is everyone making him feel so fucking old today!!! ]

[infreefall]

never heard of it

[sketchythief]

but what does it mean...

[gunsandveggies]

I haven't heard it often?

[pronounces]

[ ........... ]

there's nothing wrong with that!

[ mentally going through all the times he's probably said that to apollo in his head now thanks ]

[grumpei]

not frequently but ive used it before yeah
its a pretty common expression

[odasaku]

I've seen it

In novels from the 50s.

[covenantal]

... is it considered old-fashioned now?

[megatechbody]

Guilty as charged. Slang is a result of environment, not age.

[...She is not old, damn it.]

[creepycute]

i think i heard naggyzuna use that phrase around the dorm?

[wordcarvings]

Is it a specific term that people use?

[justchords]

50 is the cut off point, okay, i'm making the poll

[justchords]

excuse YOU, i do

[justchords]

but if i hadn't reminded you of it, would you still use it?

this is very important, sir, i might owe a teenager cake

[justchords]

(THAT'S JUST RUDE.) then should i assume you never use the term

[justchords]

it means a young person. usually in reference to someone who's energetic and full of life

i'm 22 and i use it all the time and it's not weird (it is, it's weird, only old people say that.)

[justchords]

(A KINDRED SPIRIT!!) that's a perfectly reasonable... well, reason, to say it! it's not weird for someone young to use it, right?

[justchords]

would you consider it weird if someone, say, 22 used it frequently? (you aren't old, apollo is. in his soul.)

[livens]

i'm winning so far, aren't i~?
