T-Rex: It's time for some plasticized new slang! Some plasticized -
Narrator: NEW SLANG FOR TEENS
Dromiceiomimus: You're using "plasticized" a bit unusually there, T-Rex. Is that part of your new slang?
T-Rex: YES. I figure, existing words are already familiar to everyone, so I'll just expand their semantics! Plasticized now means both "irreproachably amazing" AND "past participle of 'plasticize'". And it's for teens, because teens are the thin edge of the language wedge!
T-Rex: And when they pick up on it, the "seniorettos" will follow!
Utahraptor: "Seniorettos"?
T-Rex: Non-teens. Older non-teens, actually. Younger non-teens are called "babypants", as they have been since time immemorial.
Utahraptor: Well, when you find some teens, be sure to let them know your new slang!
T-Rex: TOTALLY ON IT.
Narrator: FIFTY YEARS AGO:

Off panel: It's gonna be so great
