That's the only way I hear it. I wonder if that gives away our age?

When I was a teenager WWF came to my town. The day before the event a bunch of the wrestlers randomly showed up to my local gym to get a workout in. None of the guys, and especially Macho Man ever broke character the entire workout. They were super nice and after a bit of handshakes with us there we all just went back to our workouts.

Kind of, but younger generation will prefix every sentence with "bro" so you can kind of see a generational difference.

But also, Warhammer 40K is popular.

The kids have made it come back over the last few years and it is finally filtering into adult lingo. My dude.
