[INST] Old people trying to act cool is cringe [/INST]
Everyone has their own way of expressing themselves, don't you think?
Oh yes, it’s so unfortunate when people do that.  In some ways it’s really charming when people try to be cool, since it indicates they’re trying to have fun, but it’s not too charming when it’s done in a way that’s also kind of painful.  I’m curious, what do you mean by “act cool”?  I’m just curious what’s specifically going on.
