When you are my age, all professional football players and most coaches fall into the "kids" category. This includes that youngin Nagy.

I have, mostly affectionately, called rookies kids as they are still learning to run in the NFL and need some rope while they grow and learn from their mistakes. Doesn't fit vets.

Sometimes it's okay.

Or if the players are your children.

As for the lunch, the soup would have had to be cold or Mr. Grimson would have scalded his mouth and throat.

Yes. Using “Totes” is absolutely absurd though.

Calling a grown man, whether he is a peer or not, "kid" is indeed inappropriate. Especially if said person has succeeded beyond what you have done. It is a dismissive way to keep other's accomplishments down, and in some cases it blows the dog whistle of supremacy.

@dabears70 should be ashamed for saying what he did.

So if they haven’t succeeded beyond what you have done, it’s still ok though right? Like if I call any of you kids because you haven’t held a job for 20+ years where you constantly have climbed the ladder and your mind hasn’t matured to my level yet, it’s ok right? Or is this purely about money?

the real question is ...is it appropriate for young cuck punks to try to determine what's appropriate for their elders who have zero desire to join their thought cult....political correctness is a disease and some of you are the carriers...you are the cancer that has been killing our once great nation

Imagine thinking that political correctness, AKA being polite, is a "cancer" that is killing our country. Good lord, old people are literally the worst. Can't wait until 20 years from now when this stupid line of thinking is completely eradicated.
