I used to say those things when I worked in food service. There were certain combinations that I had not yet tried and would ask people about it. Some were trying for the first time others had it repeatedly.

I didn’t get it. Either I’m dumb or of the wrong generation. Help please?

I’m still waiting on an XKCD that references #936 with the fact that we soon as we have reliable, functional quantum computing, all of the passwords from before that point in time will be completely and utterly broken. That the only way to make a password that a quantum computer would have a tough time breaking is if it was made by another quantum computer. Unless of course the comic has already been made and I just missed it, which is a complete possibility because this year for me has been utterly crap.
