T-Rex: Cool slang is always changing, and always new. But! That doesn't mean it has to be ORIGINAL.
T-Rex: I therefore propose we recycle OBSOLETE words for cool new teen slang!
T-Rex: FOR EXAMPLE, slang for "new and cool" is "fresh", as in "my sneakers are the freshest". But we HAVE words that mean "of today, of the moment" already. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you... HODIERN.
T-Rex: Your sneakers can be the MOST hodiern of all, teens!
Utahraptor: Take it from me, an adult who thinks "fresh" is current slang!!
T-Rex: Hey! Hold up!
T-Rex: There will ALWAYS be slang for "new and cool", so even if teens aren't saying "fresh", that doesn't mean they can't use "hodiern". It's from the Latin root "hodie", meaning "today"!
Utahraptor: See, "hodie" sounds WAY more fresh. I want a hodie hoodie. I want to be so damn hodie!!
Narrator: BUT TEENS USE "CRASTINAL" INSTEAD, MEANING "OF TOMORROW", WHICH IS EVEN COOLER THAN BEING HODIE:
T-Rex: I want credit for this!
Off panel: No way, old man! You're so hesternal you're practically nudiustertian!!
T-Rex: Wait! I LIKE THOSE WORDS TOO!
