to think the phrase "down the with kids" is embarrassing to say?

[lightupmynight]

I can't be the only person who thinks that?

I always think people that use the phrase 'knickers in a twist' are so not down with the kids.

My twisted knickers were down so I got kids?

Iklboo

Of course it is.

It's only ever said ironically.

You are being really nasty. op
I think l shall report you,mainly to save you from yourself.
You have had a busy morning!

I hear you daddio. I'll be over there -> in the cool cat corner

Rock on

Yes it's cringeworthy
Yes it's embarrassing
and.....
Yes that's why if you have teenagers you have to say it in front of them as often as you can.

[] hope this works.

Allow me, redexpat You need double square brackets

am I the only one who detected sock-puppeting on the other thread?

I'm not at all down with the kids, but I am down with that shit.

My sock puppets are down with the kids.

Or something.

A friend and I like 'talking street' over whatsapp. I'm sure you'd positively vomit over that, OP!

No pan you are not.

I'm down with my bad self

Werd.

Silly whiny thread.

@ MadeMan

No pan you weren't, it's such an odd thread.

I love talking street when I text dd....mainly because she hates it

Fascinating Aida was my first thought when I read the op. Although I suspect the op might not appreciate it...

Anyway if you look at the title of the thread it's not 'down with the kids' that the OP objects to it's 'down the with kids'. I'm with the OP, 'down the with kids' gets right on my tits. Or it least it would if I'd ever heard it before.

crumpet My first thought too...

Ah. Yes. "Down the with kids" would indeed be embarrassing - OP is spot on.

What kind of IDIOT says 'down the with kids'?!

Yes "down with the kids" is only ever used to be ironic. (And was used that way on the snapchat thread). But "down the with kids" would be mortifyingly crass.
