?? Eh, been in my vernacular for at least 50 years. Did it ever go away and in what way is it coming back as a “cool”’word? You mean like the idiotic 67 thing?

Is the idiotic 67 thing like saying right, or using run to describe wearing a shirt?

I listen to a lot of news, mostly because I work solo every day….and I’ve noticed ever since tampon used folks, nearly everyone is using the word.

Its a nuanced situation

What life choices did you all make that made your life so easy that you have the ability to pay this close of attention to how many times a word is used?

 

[T-Rex]

Blame Randy Newberg

 

[LongWayAround]

I say folks occasionally and don't hear it from others very often so I wasn't aware this is an issue.

It's not the new cool word. That would be "fam".

Looney Tunes debuted in 1930, so I suppose "That's all, folks" is pushing 100 years of pop culture.

We used to refer to our parents as our "folks". That's about it.

Grow up in the deep south and "folks" and "ya'll" are common vernacular, and have been for generations.

Yankees just may now be catching on

 

[5MilesBack]

Tampon Tim

Never heard of him.

 

[Olympics777]

Considering all the goofy new lingo out there if you are annoyed at people using “folks” then you are particularly sheltered….
