Don't kink shame!

 

Unless you have teenagers at home, I have learned what the "GOAT" means now.

 

You don't look a day over 60.

I had to look that up.....

damn kids these days

 

Is that safe to Google? I have concerns.

 

What exactly can we define "GOAT" as? Let's turn to our handy friend, theUrban Dictionary, to see if we can piece together the meaning of this slang term: "An acronym for G.reatest O.f A.ll T.ime" "Greatest Of All Time. Not a title that should be easily given out."

 

GREATEST OF ALL TIME

Well that is wholesome and disappointing.

 

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=goat

 

its 'greatest of all time' ie, someone who is the best at something.. or something that is the best version of itself

"damn lbj is the true GOAT - you see that ridiculous running off-hand shot he hit to send the raptors to the void?"

"THAT THING IS GOAT STATUS"

so on & so forth until kingdom come or someone like mitt romney / drew bledsoe use it then it will disappear back into the archives of uncool phrases to use.

 

I have a friend who is from Russia and just recently moved here with her hubby (who works with Matt), and English is her second language (and she's still learning the hard parts cause English has stupid rules) so I'm both super helpful with explaining grammar and totally ruining what she thinks is normal, modern slang.

My hope is that since trends are cyclical, saying things like "hella," and "sup brah!" will be on trend again at some point
