They say if you go back just 100 years to
the streets of London, they would be speaking
a foreign language with all the outdated slang.

Don't we have similar problems with kids today? Or when we go into the computer section at Best Buy?

I hate BestBuy, the kids who work there treat
you like a drooling moron if you're over 40. I
like to bring up some tech thing in the news I
know they don't have any knowledge of. It
leaves them looking like the idiots, and not me.

Like 'did you hear most college's are going to be
outlawing Google Glass on campus?' If they even
know what GG is..

You go to the streets of (East) London today, and they will be speaking a foreign language with all the latest slang...

The point is, send the modern Londoner back 100
years and he'd be totally lost. The English has a
slang word for every bloody thing. Here we just
use the F word for everything. Its a verb, a noun,
an adjective, a pronoun, anything you want it to
be.

You find the time machine, and I'll put it to the test.
