You know, my generation has grown up on the internet and watching Netflix.
But the previous generations were just a lot more Scottish.
And sometimes when I'm talking to them, I have no idea what they're saying.
I can give you an example, right?
Yeah, yeah.
I was at work back when I was doing that job with the government, and the other English teachers were all much older than I was.
And once I was sitting down with them having lunch, and I was on my phone, I wasn't really listening to their conversation, but one of them decides he wants to include me in the conversation.
So just to say, I didn't know the context of what they were discussing.

I was like, yeah.
He says, Jairn.
And I was like, come again?
He says, Jairn.
And I was like, one more time.
