Been around for 11 years or more and just NOW I'm hearing it ? Egads, where's my
old fart card ? lol

1. I JUST heard the term this week. So I'm in the behind-te-times club, too.

As for the term itself, color me unimpressed.

2. No, my dear Steve, you're not the last person...

I am.

Until I read your post, I had never heard of the word used that way.

3. I learned about it after California Peggy

and there's twenty years age difference between us, but I can't hang with the 29-year-olds anymore.

6. And I found out about it after TexasTowelie.

Being a loner in real life has its perks.

8. I found out after In_The_Wind.

Hey, I didn't know who Philip Seymour Hoffman? was either.

4. I also had to look up the word "plotz" in the urban dictionary.

I thought that I had an enhanced vocabulary until all of the new terms kept showing up on DU.

5. *checks plotz lol*

My son is 18 and I'm on the internet a lot, so I've thought I was pretty up to date.

So much for that

eta: plotz is Yiddish originally, interesting.

7. Probably

not.

This is the first I've ever heard of it...

9. I've just learned of this too.

10. This is a sweet example of shade and that's the T.
