Today is an interesting one for me, I finally crossed the line into "Old Fartdom". Now, I've known that I'm not totally "down with the kids" for some time, but still considered myself "young". I have just been pwned though, the retirement home beckons.
Sitting on the sofa with my nieces, aged 9 and 7, watching kids' TV (as you do, when you should be working), I remarked that a child on the telly was somewhat strange and asked
"Is that a bird or a dude?"
That cued gales of laughter.
"It's a girl uncle R" said the youngest "And not a camel's willy"
"Wh-w-w-w-hat?" say I, seriously confused, I am always very careful not to say anything dodgy to, or in front of these kids, let alone bring camels' willies into the frame.
"You know" said the 9 yr old "Dude means 'camel foreskin' " matter-of-factly.
By then, I'm in shock, luckily Grandma is within earshot and shoos them away before I have a seizure.
Apparently, "it says so on the computer".
And you know what? They are right!
I have NEVER heard this before, I'm off to Switzerland for a lethal injection.......
