Comment Re:'Hardcore' is from your Grandpa's youth ... (Score 1) 324
Ballmer using words like 'hardcore' makes me feel the same as when my Grampa would talk about 'the Googles' or any other time a male-menapausal coot tries to use 'cool' words to 'relate' to 'todays youth'
You do realize that the current interpretation of the word 'hardcore' has been used by the youth for at least 50 years, maybe longer? Ballmer is not using the word to sound cool to you, he is using the word he used in the 1960s to sound cool to his older brother.
You do realise that as we grow older, our vocabulary often shift to a more 'civilised' manner, where words like 'hardcore' become utilised in a more precise meaning (such as pornography) and certainly not something that you are about tablets. I should say. How many of the same people from the 1960s use 'groovy' today?
