I wonder how Gen Z wojld react to something being reffered to as “all that and a bag of chips”.

Gen Z was born into a fully matured internet. They will just look up any old phrases and immediately learn anything they want.
“Siri, the hell did i just hear?”
I recently had someone explain to me what “And that’s where I came in” meant.
I expect to explain to people why we say “roll down the window”, or what the save icon is, lol

Ok, but the save icon, that’s because of the floppy disc. You just put your floppy into…the…huh. I guess no one uses floppys anymore…
…wait, am I old???
“To make it more modern, we could make the save icon a CD!”
What’s a CD? Oh, wait, that looks like…do you mean a Blu-Ray? Nobody uses Blu-Rays anymore.
