Am I Really That Out of Touch?

I've known for a long time that I come from a completely different generation.

I grew up before there was satellite anything, SiriusXM, internet, and even before the introduction of not only cell phones, but wireless head set phones and even PUSH BUTTON phones.  That's right I remember using rotary phones, and not because it was kitsch ...  I remember only three channels on TV believe it or not. (Oh yeah, I lived through cars having no seatbelts followed by no enforced seat belt laws...)

But I don't normally feel out of touch with the world.  I normally feel I've done well keeping up and adapting to the ever more rapid social and technological changes around me.

Yet, I was just reminded how anacronistic I can be.

I recently used "fat chance" in one of my comic pages.  Essentially it means "very little chance."   It's an idiom and an irony.  Used sarcastically it means the same as "In your dreams" or "I don't bleeping think so...".

A reader took it to mean the phrase was calling another character fat...  O_o  ooops... there's that generation gap rearing it's ugly head again... 

Go away man I want to be the hip grandma dang it!

I find this with my kids too... "Six of one, half a dozen the other", "Hold your horses", "Want in one hand, (poo poo) in the other, see which fills up faster..." these things fly right over their heads.  When did we lose touch with such colorful idioms to brighten our language?  LOL
