Take it to the next level and add an “s” at the end- The Walmarts, The Targets, etc.

Be sure to pronounce "Target" as if it were French.

I usedta love to say “I saw that on the Twitter” or “lemme look it up on the Google box”, and with my accent that can sound hella backward.

I still call watching TV watching the boob tube, even though ignorant people aren't called boobs anymore and TV isn't made with tubes anymore and I don't own one.

What are u talking about? Target is full of MILFs. That’s why I go there.

I called it "the youse-tubes" with a thick Brooklyn accent because I'm the most annoying person in the world

Speaking in “oldese” is fun… even though most people who spoke like that have long passed. The new “old” people are not all as curmudgeony. More youthful. More demure More in touch. #bringbackcurmudgeons
