Young@ vocab
“What does this remind you of?” ,he said as he pushed a shapely 7-up bottle towards the other chap.
After receiving the usual,I don’t know shrug from the other guy ,he said “Mallika Sherawat! Awesome right?”.
Recently ,when I was traveling by train,I happened to “overhear” this piece of conversation between a ,say,50 yr old and a young man.[I wouldn’t call it eavesdropping.What else can you do when people sitting right next to you make it a point to shout their lungs out instead of speaking at normal decibel levels?Besides,it seemed liked the family never talk to each other at home.They must have decided to do a lifetime of talking in the train.Non-stop.].Of course,it was the 50 year old who quipped about Mallika Sherawat.The “old man” seemed to be really verry young at heart,or so he thought.I heard lots of “damn” and “ get our asses back here” “crap” “bloody b*****ds” ,”Sensuous”, and words like that in his conversation.What makes some old people think that by using slang like that,they can bridge the gap with the youngsters ,that they can prove that they are cool,that they are still sweet 16 at heart and in vocab??? I just don’t get it. And yea,when they were about to get off the train,he quipped yet again “Hey,lets not forget to take Mallika Sherawat with us,ok?”
