I was particularly surprised at how quickly millennial sayings aged.

###I mean, ngl, sus fr fr, no cap
That's tight, yo.
Cool beans
If I’m forced to say it to fit in, it’s your fault.
I'm Gen-X. My 13-year-old daughter is under instructions to never call me 'bro' or 'bruh.'
My nephew's do that to my brother-in-law. They also call him 'dude.'
Dude is weird to me, but calling me 'bro' is just wrong. I want to be called Dad or Daddy. She's mostly okay with that.
I am not partial to informal nicknames. If I stand with a group of my male coworkers I usually greet them with “gentleman” or something that. I don’t work with a lot of women but I’m not sure what to say to a group of women. Ladies seems kind of demeaning and gentlewomen sounds weird to me. I usually just go with miss or ma’am.

My day, never came, I am old and without prime
I just realized that I’m probably older than George. At least in the earlier seasons.
This is always upsetting.
Same for rewatching iasip. I think they're late 20s when it started.

Are millennials the new boomers now? Or is this meme about older generations making fun of millennials? I can't follow anymore.

These arent meant to be spoken out loud anyway.
Omg I am old lol
Can someone also explain 'go brrr', cause I just think of vibrating doorstop springs, but that can't be right...
It's from a meme, "Money printer go brrrr" ~~which was I think a spin off of the "It prints money!" meme for the original Wii~~ (Edit: did some research and I think they're unrelated.) Its the sound of the machine, printing money, it go brrr.
I've seen it used for all kinds of things, but "go brrr" is basically a dismissive way of talking about how "winning" something is.
Edit: I think Picard Manuever explains it better actually, and while I don't think my usage note is untrue from how I've seen the meme used in evolutions, I'd have to agree that it originally and usually takes the form they described.
Pretty sure it's supposed to be the sound of a machine running. Most popular example I can think of is "haha money printer go brrr".
