Want to see what words were "born" the same year as you? Merriam-Webster can tell you.

Fish finger is one of mine. Even thought that's two words. 

Nutter and smart-ass - but I'm sure that's just coincidence.

Also self-denigrating, so maybe it isn't.

Pestilence and bubonic.  I’m getting all nostalgic.

AIDS, Gaydar, Vaginosis.

 

Snap.

 

EDIT: Bugger, I misread it. I’m 1983 which has ‘AIDS virus’ and ‘bacterial vaginosis’ among the new words.

 

On a related note I’ve just been refused alcohol at the supermarket as the checkout woman refused to believe I was over 25. I suppose I should take that as a compliment.

The only time this has happened to me was in a wee shop in Aberdeen, Holborn Street I think.

Asian gent asked me for ID - I was 30 or so at the time - and then his wee auld wifey Scottish assistant woman pipes up 'Dont be daft, he's about 40'.

How to be made to feel great one minute......

Decided to show the kids some of my old tae kwon do moves after watching more cobra kai.   

I've realised now that its been 25 years, I think I may have dislocated my hip.

Not so much Tae Kwon do as Twat can't do

Three people I work with have recently moved house and have opted for new builds (or relative new builds). There seems to be a real feeling that buying a new build is some sort of status symbol. A sign of luxury. However, these three locations are in Dumbarton, Clydebank and Airdrie.

Being as respectful as I can, I have suggested that buying an older house in a more affluent area of Glasgow/surrounds would be my choice.

Mortgaged out their eyeballs on a new build and a leased bmw in the drive. It’s the younger generations way of wanting people to think they’re middle class.
