Expressions that show your age....

[Stoo]

I was posting a review recently and used the expression, "At the risk of sounding like a broken record..." and I realized that to the youngsters in the crowd, that means nothing!

On top of that, I referred a while ago to "Spinning the dial..." on the TV and one of my kids looked at me with a puzzled look. She had never seen a TV with a dial. (Or even gotten off of her butt to change a channel...)


Any others I should avoid in the future?

I like this thread...I find myself saying shit like that all the time.

It's the old "suddenly I realized I was sounding just like my Dad..." Only now I look like him too.
