Hate to break it to you my dude but 1986 is 40 years ago.

Skeletor will return next week with more disturbing reminders about passage of time...

Hate to break it to you, but you’re arguing with me about something I never said. I said it was revived in the 70s.

The term is recent in a linguistic sense. Even if you personally think it’s ancient history, “my dude”, there are plenty of us alive where it was invented in our lifetime.

A teacher explained this to me in elementary school as some new fad.

Classy edit, btw.
