"Zaddy" now means a mature, rich, attractive, desirable, put-together, masculine man.

"Zaddy" is Yiddish for "grandpa".

How "zaddy" got from "old Jewish grandpa" to what-it-is-today is something Sigmund Freud would have a lot to say about.

I’ve heard people talk about buying “merch” when they mean merchandise. And talk of “vacay”, when they mean vacation.

It makes me think some people are talking in text message abbreviations.

I’ve even heard someone say out loud, LOL, as they laughed at something.

I think, “Blap” should be a new word.

“it’s a complicated and challenging society we live in”:

Not really. It is merely plagued by freaks, pinkos, and perverts.

That's the best screen name I've seen so far. I can picture Chewy clad in both bandolier and tefillin blasting enemies with his bowcaster (if that's allowed while wearing tefellin), perhaps even going bonkers after Lando's flying nearly knocks down a mezuzah on the Falcon :D

I would like to see more resistance to new words so many people want to hurry into the English language. I particularly dread the "verbing" craze, which often sounds/reads infantile as well as unclear in meaning in many contexts.

:) Well, my grandfathers were both handsome.

Interesting. Thanks for that language mini-lesson.

And zaddy is “an attractive man who is also stylish, charming, and self-confident,” according to the digital compilation.

I thought that was a sheik. The female counterpart is a flapper. Never heard of zaddy.

DEI will always stand for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI), created at a time when NASCAR mattered. Libs should really learn to get up early.

I thought “oof” was French for “egg”.

I've got a suggestion for them:

Wuhan [woo-hahn]
noun
1. a lab-created virus that was used by the Chicoms (synonym for "commies") and the Democratic Party (see "Chicoms") to destroy liberty, the American Way, and Donald Trump.
2. a conglomerate city in the capitol of Hubei province where the Wuhan was created.
