No, you're seeing it from this side of it, so it'll appear correctly. Think about if you had X-ray vision and could see through a stamp; viewed through the stamp, it would look like it was the right way around.

What happens if I tell them I like CCR, Johnny Cash or Sinatra?

Mostly Frank, but I don't think it matters much I'm this case.

I do believe that everything old was better, everything new stinks, and my feet hurt all the time.

Nah. Billy Joel (with Stevie Nicks) put on one of the best concerts I've ever seen.

I saw him a few times, but his last tour with Elton was my favorite. One set of Billy playing Elton songs, one of Elton playing Billy songs, with the last set duets. Great show. Wish I caught one with Stevie Nicks!

Washed? Is this some hip new slang term?

I feel liked not knowing this one makes me, well, washed...

[–] [email protected] 62 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (1 children)

New to me too. Washed sling meaning Washed up or past your prime. We old.

The term washed up originated in the early 2020s and gained popularity in 2021.

As an old head, I’m pretty confident that “washed up” was used long before 2020.

About a century before, Merriam-Webster cites the first recorded use in 1928.
