As a former fire lookout, I’ve been around a lot of kids. By kids, I mean the 18-30 year old demo. Being a lookout is a solitary profesh, no doubt. You don’t see a lot of people in a day but you do see a lot of kids if you see anyone. Nome sayin?
Many times they are hiking with a lot of gardening gear. It’s like they have a crop or something in the actual woods.
They, by they i mean the kids, use, like, a lot of slang. Seriously, it’s not as though slang is something new but your ear becomes atuned to it as you get older. I mean, it’s really annoying to hear English and need someone to translate for you. It’s literally like you are hearing a foreign language.
Anyway, I find that I don’t have a lot of tolerance for it. At. All. Why, back in the day, we used say stuff like calling other fellows “cats.” We kep it all on the down low as we hung around. This was way before hooking up became so popular. That I just don’t understand.
