Only on hacker news would you need to attach a reference to something most people should know..

Not everyone here is an US teenager.
I'm grateful for the reference (though after reading it, I'm having second thoughts).

Although teengager seems to be the goto term for when describing people who actually use new upcoming pop culture references and slang. It transcends into people well to their twenties and thirties.
Well yeah, that's the 18 to 34 demographic.

Not many people on here have much first-hand experience with Netflix and chill.
I remember calling it "watching movies".
and before that it was "Want to come up and see my etchings?"
Modern slang has no class. I'm pleased that I didn't know the term until I clicked the link.
You do realize your slang was seen the same way by your parents and their slang was seen the same way by your grandparents right?
Time changes, people don't.
Quite so, my dear fellow. It's ever so pleasant to cross paths with a fellow gentleman with class, unlike the rabble of today's youth. I do tip my hat to you dear sir.
