Age is all in the mind

On the horizon of another birthday and becoming a year older (OMG I am actually being coy about my age for once- must be getting old!)...anyway it got me thinking, as I recently danced the night away (and yes I did type boogied, before backspacing and replacing!) with friends and family of varying ages and of respective generations, I pondered the thought- When do you know you are no longer cool? And how old are you when you finally stop caring? And perhaps most importantly of all- When should I stop using the word 'cool?' #RedFaced

Anyway in order to help those who are struggling with the prospect of a 'spent youth', perhaps those  most reflective are the ones leaving a previous decade behind, I think this question is possibly most poignant, 'Have I still got it? Am I still down with the kids? So I began to think- shouldn't there be an app for that? Yes quite literally! So until there is, which might possibly be 5 minutes after publishing this blog online, I thought I would draft a series of expressions for you to test your street credentials. Bearing in mind that you are as young as you feel and that this test is somewhat subjective as it is being written by a ...*mumble *mumble- year old!

Right time to test yourself- Do you know the meaning of the following ten colloquialisms?

1. Swag
2. Rachet
3.Merked
4. Yolo!
5. R Bomb
6. Sic
7. Nang
8. Gassed
9. IM
10. Fam

8/10-10/10- Impressive, you have nothing to worry about, your still down!
3/10-7/10 A respectful toe- in the world of the youth- you still got it!
2/10 or less- I'm just impressed you found this article at all on the worldwide web and managed to scroll to the bottom! Only joking! :)

Age is nothing but a very blurry number!
