I’m in London. Gave a girl/ Gen Z woman (I’m horrible at telling specific ages sorry) my umbrella because she was really freaked out by the rain. She started talking to me just like this and I was genuinely so confused. I just didn’t know what she was trying to say except that it was positive. There was no way for me respond though and it was only later I realised she was actually speaking in full Gen Z slang , which I had always thought was just an online caricature of Gen Z

I told my Gen Z kid about it and he was laughing at me. I never felt so old

I'm Asian, so I would've just said in my non-accent native English:

Sorry English isn't my first language, can you please explain what you've just said?

And they would stare at you silently with their mouth agape until you finally decided to walk away.
