They didn't cancel school for cold weather back in my day, / We walked thru 6-ft of snow with 40-below wind chill, and we were thankful!

Your grandad explains that in his day you had to stand up to change the channel. Then he asks you to find the remote. It's in his hand. A colleague who started in 2019 tells the new graduate that "back in my day we actually came into the office". He did it for four months. You tell a teenager that phones used to have buttons and a game with a snake. He asks, carefully, whether the snake was real. On the bus, a man tells nobody in particular that it used to cost 10p and you got a seat and a conversation. He's right about the 10p. **Why it caught on:** an old studio portrait of a smug elderly gentleman with a white goatee, whose name nobody has confirmed, looked like a man who has just won an argument by being older, and every generation has its "kids these days" ready to go.
