Alfred Pennyworth

“I purposely try to avoid whatever stupid new thing this generation comes up with.”

“Welcome to the new generation. Vulgarness is like second nature these days.”

“Jesus… I might need you to stay off of the internet, Al. Those are all things that are referring to sexual activities….”

"Sir, I am a woman of my word. I do not lie nor do I say things to people to prank them. Believe me when I say it will be educational. In fact, they might actually be impressed you picked up on these terms so well."

“You’re too innocent for this world, Al… they aren’t referring to smashing in a destructive way.”

"Just... go ask them. I promise you, nothing bad will come out of it. I think it'll be quite educational. "

[Her face went red and she struggled to not fall into a fit of laughter] "Y-yes, Alfred. That is precisely what it means. It only sounds wrong because you aren't used to using those words normally. You should definitely tell Mr. Wayne when you see him."

"Oh no no no. This phrase is not as bad as other phrases and 'new aged slang' that is out there. Matter of fact... ask the people who you reside with or work for what skibidi and sigma means..." Monique has no idea what can of worms she's about to open. All she knows is,

"Again it's more like a modern slang. You know how us younger folk are coming up with new phrases. N-Not that you're old or anything, Mr. Alfred. Just I know there is a bit of a generational barrier with the language you probably grew up with."

"Yeaaahh. Yeah. That is not the worst of it, unfortunately. The modern times are... weird. Very, very, weird."

[She bites her lip to stop herself from bursting into laughter] "Mmmmhmmmmm." [She nodded] "Yeah you call shorter people 'Bottoms' and for the taller people those are naturally called 'Tops' because they loom over the top of you for example."

"Okay, I need you to pay good attention to my words...So the term smash is referring to being attracted to something or someone. Like an agreement. Basically like saying 'Yes, I find this person attractive and would enthusiastically pursue romantic or physical interest.'"

"It's ummmm... someone who is shorter than the person who is saying it. Yeah. It's like a slang term the younger people use these days."

"Not you, Alfred. You're exempt."

"Oh hey look! A bottom!" [Points at the Reader]
