Better Off Dead-Ass

Sort of the logical extension of this post.

I don’t know who "cool teen" Luka Sabbat is and, quite frankly, I don’t give the slightest whiff of a good goddamn. But, to crib an observation from a good friend and former colleague of mine, if this kid can’t even grow a proper mustache, he has absolutely ZERO business using expressions like “that’s a classic New York statement!”

If I hear any of you using these terms in earnest, I’m going to release the jackals.

I work with students who are a lot younger than Sabbat, but thanks to the influence of older siblings, the language bleeds into my classroom. I mostly ignore it, though anything with "---ass" is banned, as is "AF" or anything else that mentions the F word. I'm not exactly pure in my personal speech, but I could be fired if a parent complains that his/her child is learning inappropriate language in Ms. OA's classroom. Fortunately it doesn't crop up much, at least this far into the school year. But give them another summer of playing M-rated video games and listening to Big Bro and his friends call each other dead-ass, and next year's teacher will have to start all over again.

Following the recent age-related posts and comments, here's a pretty good description of what my generation thought of your-my-generation:

"Do 'ya dig?", "Dig THIS!", and simply ending conversations (ESPECIALY with adults) with "Dig" would drive ALL of our authority figures absolutely NUTS.
SOOOO MUCH FUN!!!
A younger, local and kind'a hip clergyman would IMMEDIATELY quip back, "Diggin' your way to Hell. son" with a smile on his face. (He might have been right.....we'll see.)

And why do I end with this particular relevant-again cut?
