I chuckle every time I pull up the app switcher and see Preview now. And then think, "is it tequila time already?"

And the "stepped on a pop top" no longer has any meaning to the youngins. It'd be like referring to 411, dialing a rotary, or what 45 vs 33 rpm means.

"Gimme the 411" is understood, but probably considered uncool millennial speak by Gen Z-ers.
Plenty of Millennials and Z collect "vinyl". They know all about 33s and 45s.
