alt Hacker NewsHate 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.

What? You had a whole thing about rewriting history because the parent said the NYT adopted 40 years ago, then you made a big deal about how it was in 1986 and resurrected in the 80s and talked about rewriting history.
What was that all about if you both perfectly agree on the timeline?

Edit? I did not edit my post. I think you may not understand what that means. It is neither classy nor unclassy, it is a type of meme.
It’s recent linguistically, but not culturally, which I think is more important here.
