We are not un-hip. That blogger is old and cranky before his time. "All these kids and their slang! I know--I'll tell them it's not cool because it's old! Yeah, that'll shame them into better writing!"
It's sad when people don't understand why slang, catchphrases, and memes exist; and the vital purpose such things serve when people can't see each other and thus need other methods of waving their tribal colors.
