I know language evolves but it seems to me to have evolved too far for us old folk.
I saw this video title on Youtube this morning...

The New Prius is... SICK?!​

I'm guessing 'SICK' means good but I don't know if it's a question or an exclamation...maybe both.

It's certainly 4 letters beginning with S

It’s only meant good since the 1980s so I guess you’ve only had forty years to get used to it.

That shows you how much time I spend with the youth

I recently came accross one of those people who have absolutely no sense of humour and berate those who have.
Wow, they must lead miserable lives.

I was 16 in 1980. Don't believe everything you read on Google!

I remember it being used when I was at school in the 80s, along with Duuuuude. A lot.

Mostly by the kids into skateboarding.

Urban dictionary says, "used by 'chavs' to state that somethings is good"

Seems a bad year for wasps. Had to remove all my not yet ripe strawberries and flowers to stop them causing havoc at the allotment. It was like a nest of them amongst the ripe fruit. Also barely get through a workout in my gym (conservatory) without one or two coming in to add to the effort level as I frantically try to kill them.

Today I'm picking cucumbers and bumble bees bumbling around doing their thing. We happily co-habit. Wasps though...just want to be nasty.

Wasps have an largely unwarrented, if predictable, bad reputation because of their sting. Their beneficial preditorial activity includes eliminating a number of pests that would require the use of pesticides without them. They are obviously after the sugars, so providing some more attrctive alternative sources, such as a few cups of orange juice nearby, can allow gardeners and wasps to co-exist. Growing fragrant herbs or flowers such as thyme, spearment and pennyroyals nearby is another 'natural' co-existence solution, as their sense of smell is intense, so they avoid such areas. Of course, that allows the pests that they eliminate to take advantage of their absence, so accepting some loss might be the best balance.

Your urban dictionary is wrong.
The term "chav" was a term of friendship used all the time in the late 70's and 80's around the Medway towns.
We definately didn't use the term "sick/sic", or bro either.

No.1 song in my chart

Spotify - apparently it's impossible to queue up two albums to play one after the other. If I add one to queue and start playing the other album, it just jumps straight to the queued album after one song. If I try and add both albums to the queue as I did this morning - it just played the first one twice. And at the end it didn't go to the second one. Why is it so difficult? On a long journey surely you should be able to queue up a couple of albums rather than being forced to use playlists?

Did you add the first album to the queue?

 

[Orikoru]

Did you add the first album to the queue?

Yeah, I said I did - add both albums to queue, but it never bothered trying to play the second one. It's possible part of the issue is that I go underground during my train journey - I think it only stores up to a certain amount of songs in advance and if you still haven't got back to somewhere with reception it just gives up and sacks it all off.

Ask the question once, slowly and clearly and then shut the hell up.

I thought it worked if you queued the first then the second once the first was playing.

It may have changed, but I don’t listen to a lot of albums so wouldn’t have noticed if it did.
