My kids are just toddlers but I’m so pumped to embarrass them with dad-attempts-cool-talk.

Haha yes! I think we all reach a point in our lives when we truly become adults, and it’s when we realise that adults who didn’t understand our lingo and were embarrassing actually:

  1. Understood more of it than they let on,
  2. Used it incorrectly around younger people for a laugh, or to help bolster the kid’s confidence (the kid gets a little “omg that adult doesn’t know what blorpitybloo means! I’m so much more cultured than they are” boost).
  3. Realised that every generation has their language “thing”, and we don’t necessarily have to keep up with the latest word on the street to be fulfilled, or to connect meaningfully with the younger generations.

Yeah, I’ve never thought that far in to it.

I guess I just think it’s a way to “tease” someone without the target of the joke being them. Like, lets all laugh about what an idiot dad is, instead of lets all laugh about what an idiot this kid is.

When I was a kid uncles, siblings, and yeah parents, “teased” us by making mildly humiliating comments about which we would all laugh in a good natured hearty way. As in “fine_sandy_bottom is too short, we’ll have to put sheep poo in his boots to help him grow quicker”. Maybe it’s just teasing, maybe it’s a shitty thing to say to a child.

Playing “dad is an embarrassing idiot” doesn’t have that ambiguity.
