WHAT A MINUTE!!!! "Narc" for "narcissist" is pronouced with a soft "c" ??? As in "nars"?

My entire freakin' world just flipped upside-down. What gives?

I thought it was a hard C, until I read this again. I've said it as "nark" if I saw it....I think in the next post it says it IS a hard C? I can't view that part yet.

I never heard of a Joneser.

And I've given up on trying to keep up with the different generations: X, Y, Z.

Supposedly Y is another term for millennials and the range of birth years isn't black and white. "Boomers" supposedly are born from 1946 to 1964, that boom after WW2. Z is supposedly born in 2000 or 2001 and after.

In my post of yesterday, I meant to write FOMO for Fear of Missing Out.

You folks probably already knew that.

And I bet there's many more like that out there. I'd need a young person to decipher for me. RUT = ARE you there? Not "rut" as in someone is in a rut! And I hate how they use letters instead of the word. R = Are and U = You.

I'm too old for this. Probably cause of my parents being so strict about not abbreviating and spelling out things. They'd hit the ceiling over that "R" thing.
