somewhat relevant xkcd

I’m bringing radical and tubular back. Those were good slang.

I still say rad, sometimes. Maybe I’d be the vamp who tries to sneak phrases back into parlance under the guise of irony.

Mitch McConnell is dead? Tubular.

There’s probably a story in building systems to address this.

I could see a network of vampires who exchange safehouses every few decades, so as to avoid people noticing they’ve been there for 150 years, and the relocation forces them to reboot their cultural references, accents, etc.

They play the “new immigrant” card until they can blend in properly.

There is precedent for this.
