    Oh, then you’re not a millennial. We didn’t HAVE texting in 1995. You sound like you’re talking about mid 2000s. By then I was in my mid-20s. So not exactly the time period where it was “my time” for new slang.

    My grandfathers generation called money “bacon”. As in, he brought home the bacon. My dads genneration called money Chedder. My generation called it lettice. Around 2010 I heard people calling it bread. I’m convinced they’re making a sandwich! It’s going to be turkey, or ham next. Maybe some capicola. Just as long as it’s not mayonaise. I don’t want mayonaise on my sandwich.
