wired.com — While pop culture itself is full of colloquialisms, catch phrases, social niceties and even a fair share of vulgarities, it seems that many of us repeat, verbatim, the things that we heard our parents say. Many of these are still relevant today, but a good lot of the clichés we use today have no meaning to our children.

If you thought that was bad DO NOT read the comment I'm pasting below from that site, it will make your brain melt:“10 bits short of a byte” is my favorite, but I think with Moore’s Law kind of scaling effects, the reference may already be obsolete, too. Do you have something in a Gig?
