H asked me that the other night. I had no idea. I was majorly disappointed when I looked it up. It just means perfect or "on point". It was completely underwhelming.
I also recently discovered Periscope and snapchat. I was afraid to hit any buttons. I'd be the idiot to accidentally record my life without realizing.
Wait what's periscope?
I know what snapchat is! Mark down 1 for me on the "with it" scale!
When my high school friends post pictures of their kids - in high school. When I look at any photos of myself from 5 years ago. When I see pics on Facebook of my hot high school boyfriend... Who is now a fat, balding, middle school math teacher. Gray hair. When an awesome weekend is one with no plans. Whenever @therealmc makes me do a closeup selfie:)

People can broadcast live from their phone. I downloaded it to watch someone stream a concert. I was poking around and found a video of a Philadelphia police helicopter taking off... Turns out it was my cousin. Lol I feel so old.

The girls at work asked me if I knew any Civil War songs. So I said, "uhh, Dixieland? Star Spangled Banner?" And they fell over laughing! Apparently Civil War is a hipster band?
When my students were born the year I graduated from high school.
When I turned 28 and a student said "oh, you're the same age as my mom!"
This happened to me for the first time last year. I had a mom that was my age, she has her daughter when she was in 9th grade.
Do your students constantly use new forms of social media!? They don't even use facebook. Mostly snapchat, twitter and Instagram. There was also this terrible one where they just anonymously posted comments about each other. They showed it to me and I accidentally saw something about me on it, so awkward. They told me Facebook is for "old people". Ah!
When visiting BFF told me that her (surprise) little sister is turning 21 in a few months. When we were 21, sister was 6, and we laughed about how we'd be wrinkled old bags (36) by the time her sister could drink legally.
lol, I've used this recently because it was so funny to me when I first heard it. I didn't know what it was, so when I found out, my friends and I would say it all the time, as a joke. We heard it from their younger siblings. I had to Google it when one of them told me my eyebrows were on fleek on IG.
I really started feeling old when I realized people born in the 90's could legally drink. Also when Hollywood started taking about remaking 90's classics

I feel like I'm not allowed to be in this thread. But I felt kinda old today when I stumbled upon a friend's little sister's FB page today. She was 3 when I last saw her. Now she is on FB! Noooo no no no!

When I hear music I listened to in HS on classic rock stations.
When I stopped being intimidated by my students' parents because they are not really older than me.
When 2 drinks started giving me a hangover. And when a bad hangover lasts for more than a day and can't be fixed by a greasy breakfast.
I also made my own Murtaugh list ala Ted Mosby. I am too old to: Sleep on anything other than a bed, especially an air mattress Go to a concert that starts after 10 and I have to stand the whole time (sorry thedahliharpa, I feel like you would be disappointed with me for that) Move without hiring movers Drink bottom shelf liquor Do a shot that ends with "bomb"
The Foozzler, great list! I still sleep on air mattresses occasionally but regret it the next morning every time. At work I used to be one of the youngest and now I'm far from. I have no idea how to Kik or even snap chat. But most of all it's seeing kids I babysat or family friends who were in early elementary school when I graduated high school now graduating from college.
