Seperated at Birth?

I really don't like slang

From time to time I become a Facebook voyeur and I look at different people's pages to see what kind of messages other people leave them. I recently read one where the person ended his message with, "holla," and I literally cringed.

I have another friend that instead of saying good bye or good nite when we are chatting he will type in "holla." What is that? It would be okay if he were like, I don't know, 20 but this fool is 42 years old. Why do grown ass men feel the need to talk like children.

Another Peter Pan individual who I dated briefly would drive me crazy. He would say things like, "bet" which I guess means, "okay" or "that works for me." And then he would say, "hit me up" which means "call me." UGH! Again, okayfor 20 but Peter Pan was 36.

I guess I don't have an aversion to all slang. I am the first one to say something sucks or accuse someone of being a hater. But I don't know some of this other stuff just sounds stupid to me. It just sounds like the person is trying to be cool or hip and its just wrong.

I can't even begin to explain why it bothers me so much. I don't know perhaps I am just a stick in the mud. I can accept that.
