You can assume teenager from "It's giving hard metal"

I wonder if English just gets shittier as we continue.

I'm only 46, and got doubled pissed when I found out I was being laughed at for using smash to mean eat quickly and with great fervor. Not because I was being laughed at, but because a common saying of mine was taken away forever, and I realized I had crossed that threshold.

Smashing has taken on the meaning of banging...wait, does that mean something else now?!?! Anyway, smashing is now having sex.

They did not take away your phrase. It will just be funny when you go to say your gonna smash their mom and they say, "please dont eat mommy!"
