There comes a point in every life when you realize you are getting older and maybe less cool. For me it is when I read about awards shows and music trends. I have no clue who many of the new pop stars are. Now that we have kids, there is hope that they will keep mom and I "in the game" and understanding what the heck these kids are saying?

From generation to generation, there are words or phrases that are trendy. The term "dude" seems to have stuck around for awhile. But even as I am writing this I can't verify with certainty that calling someone dude is even acceptable anymore?
