    Remember that time you learned that the response,

    "Word"

    doesn't mean "cool" but means, "Really?"

    Now you're going to learn that

    "Dope"

    should only be referenced when talking about music and not when you're talking about,

    Food
    Gadgets
    Cars
    Computers
    Houses
    Tattoos
    Etc

    ...now I'll sit here and wait for the downvotes from all the new kids on the block.

    If anything at all, designers should be experts in appropriation... whether in work or in writing... so go out on a limb and find a new word to describe your new moped because dope is not what it is...

    Love,
    Uncle Fart

      Fresh is from the 80s.

      None of it is new.
