Generation Gap – Am I out of touch?

Not so long ago, across the office, I heard an 18 year old colleague squeal: “OH! LOOK! I got my first dick pick”.

Now!! I pride myself on staying in touch, keeping up, I get the lingo and if I hear a strange one, well I consult my friend Mr Google. When I heard these words however, passionately spoken, I immediately imagined something resembling a tooth pick but obviously intended for a different part of the anatomy …  oh! And to be clear, in my head, this resembled a utensil more typically accompanying a seafood platter!

Owwwwwwwch … Why would you? Why would anyone?

My colleague went on to elaborate, the dick pick was accompanied by an invite for a drink. Oh! Right! Okay! Got it! Got it! Pic not pick, yep, as in photo , something you might post on Instagram … Yep! Pic … Okay … Catching up … WOW!! Thankfully I didn’t humiliate myself with embarrassing commentary about my own interpretation!

So then my mind turned to wondering, has the generation gap widened so much? When did the male anatomy become so attractive it is offered as temptation to “go for a drink”? Jeez, how can a girl resist? 

I guess it brings new meaning to cocktail hour!

But really? OMG! Does that actually work? I won’t linger over my own experiences but “fetching” isn’t my first thought!

Was the pic accompanied by any kind of gauge perhaps? Raised and presented in a pair of tweezers? Kitchen tongs? Or what about BBQ implements to show what a real man he is? 

Seriously? Was it attentive or just hanging around? I didn’t dare ask and I gotta be honest, I really don’t want to know!! Honestly! I don’t! Really, no, I don’t!

 

Is the generation gap so huge? Oh crap, I must be turning into my Mum although to be fair, at least she only had to contend with men with long hair!!!
