    People have started calling the 20th century the “nineteen hundreds,” and I’m still not okay with it.

      "Well kiddos, back in the nineteen hundreds, things were done a bit differently”

      I think I’m good with the nineteen hundreds.

        the fresh grads we just hired are giving me senior moments and it made me feel this way when they referred to it like this. lol

    Shit like that can’t be planned. It either catches on or it doesn’t.

    Why do you want to make it cooler? Why polish this turd?

    My mom was born in the 20s and so as long as she is around and others like her it seems premature. So give it at least another decade probably two.

      Now that I think about it, everyone I knew who was born in the 20s is dead.

        Yes. My mom is 97 and her health is such she will probably make 102. Humans have been known to live a bit over 122 though rare.
