It does seem to come from narcissism. It’s a two way street, we need to know how to communicate old school and talk to our elders, but weren’t they also raised to look something up in a dictionary? They don’t want to learn, so no it’s on you to do it so you can talk to me.
I’m 34 I’m gonna struggle with keeping up with my kids lingo haha.
