U KNOW YOU BELONG TO THIS GENERATION WHEN.........

I was just reading something someone sent me and it did ring a bell .Its a sure shot way to identify if you belong to this generation or not........even if all of it isn't true.....it sure makes some good reading.
So here goes........happy reading.........

  • You don't open conversation (on telephone) with a "Hello" but with a "Hi"
  • The telephone is never "engaged", it's always "busy".
  • You don't "disconnect" a phone, YOU simply "hang-up".
  • You never "mess-up" things, you only "screw them up.
  • You never have a "residence" tel. no., you have a "home" no.
  • You never have a "office" tel. no., you have a "work" no.
  • You don't stop at the "signals", but halt at the"lights.
  • You don't "accelerate", you "step on the gas".
  • There are no "petrol pumps", but "gas stations".
  • Your tire never "punctures", you may have a "flat".
  • The trains have "coaches" or "boggies' no more but "carriages" or "boxes".
  • "I don't know nothing", two negatives don't make a positive here.
  • You no longer meet a "wonderful" person, you meet a "cool" guy.
  • You don't pull the switch down to light a bulb, rather flick it up.
  • You don't "turn on the heat", you "turn on the juice".
  • There's no "Business Area" only "business districts", and no "districts" but "counties".
  • No one stays "a stone's throw away", might"a few blocks away".
  • There's no "Town Side", it's "Down Town".
  • In hotel you no longer ask for "bill" and pay by "cheque", rather ask for "check" and pay with (Dollar) "bill's.

  • Life's no longer "miserable" it "stinks".
  • You don't have a "great" time, you have a "ball".
  • You don't "sweat it out", you "work your butt off".
  • Never "post" a letter, always "mail" it and "glue" the stamps, don't "stick" them.
  • You no longer live in "flats" or "blocks", find an "apartment".
  • You don't stand in a "queue", you are in a "line".
  • You no longer "like" something, you "appreciate" it.
  • "#" is not "hash", it's "pound".
  • You are not "deaf", you have "impaired hearing".
  • You are not "lunatic", you are just "mentally challenged".
  • You are not "disgusting" you are "sick".
  • You can't get "surprised" you get "zapped".
  • You don't "schedule" a meeting, you "skejule" it.
  • You never "joke", you just "kid".
  • You never "increase" the pressure, you always "crank" it up.
  • You never ask for a pencil "rubber " you ask for an eraser. a rubber is a condom.
  • You don't try to find a lift you find an elevator.
  • You no more ask for a route but for a "RAUT"
