    As a 27 year old man with no kids it's safe to say I'm somewhat out of touch with what's in these days.
    Parents of boards, is this still a thing? I remember in the mid 90s, nearly every male youngfella knew how to flip his eyelids. Admittedly, I was too afraid to do it in case they wouldn't come back down... Or something

    No-one on their right mind would do it with the mammy's words ringing in their ears....."if the wind changes you'll stay like that!"

    It's all about dabbing after bottle flipping now.

    Youth is wasted on the young eh?

    That rings a bell. One phrase to send the terror chills down a younglings spine

    The bar has been raised beyond eyelid flipping.
