We Kid You Not Childfree Forums

The Silent Generation...people born before 1945.

The Baby Boomers...people born between 1945 and 1961.

Generation X ...people born between 1962 and 1976.

Generation Y...people born between 1977 and 1999.


Why do we call the last group of people Generation Y? I had no idea until I saw this caricaturist's explanation! A picture is worth a thousand words!

ROFL!

We were in Michael's the other day, and there was this woman crouching by one of the displays. I turned to Moody_Rants and signed "How do you sign 'Say no to crack?' " (I finger spelled "crack," since I didn't know the term.)

I guess the letter Y is the new Crack? LOL
I know these kids and their baggy pants just drive me up the nearest wall! LOL.
DH says he wants to go to them and litterly yank their pants up every time HE see's it too, LOL
So you & moody are not alone,

Edit: when I was very young I had a crush on a deaf kid and he taught me to sign the alphabet.
I still know a handfull of letters, but sadly, my memory is shot and I don't know
them all anymore.

It's like any language: If you don't use it regularly, you lose it.

I took French for 7 years--from jr high up into college. I was writing compositions, reading novels, and watching movies in French. Nowadays? Rusty as hell.

I know I'd pick it up again quickly if I were immersed, though.
