Livejournal prompt: Cheugy

[furzicle]

Do you remember being young? I do. Remember being excited to be able to ride your two-wheeler bike by yourself? How about getting your Drivers’ License? More independence, right?

How about chafing at the teachers who scolded you for talking in class? The vice-principals who shook their heads and pulled out a measuring tape to make sure your skirt

I get the impression that most people who would be considered cheugy would be like, "So? It's my life, I'll do what I want." I know that's how I feel. When I researched this topic, I found a Tik Tok video from someone who was proudly showing off how cheugy she was. Apparently there's a whole lot of folks like that. But yeah, I hadn't heard the term before, and it's not one my 15yo was familiar with. I talked to a friend about it and he - who is in his 50s - had heard the term, and seemed to be of the impression it was used more by those older than my 15yo. So I think it was interesting to see how the word has gotten thrown around.

Well ... I'm with you plus I'm 'woke' so that makes me even more cheugy. I need one of those t-shirts too. Loved your submission.

I have never felt part of any "generation", not out of protest but simply because I mostly don't get what is "in" at the moment!
