    I'm bringing radical and tubular back. Those were good slang.

    I still say rad, sometimes. Maybe I'd be the vamp who tries to sneak phrases back into parlance under the guise of irony.

    Mitch McConnell is dead? Tubular.

    This is What We Do in the Shadows, right? Like that's more or less the joke half the time.

    There's probably a story in building systems to address this.

    I could see a network of vampires who exchange safehouses every few decades, so as to avoid people noticing they've been there for 150 years, and the relocation forces them to reboot their cultural references, accents, etc.

    They play the "new immigrant" card until they can blend in properly.

    There is precedent for this.

    I'm not a vampire but I still definitely say rad, man.

    One thing about living in Santa Carla I never could stomach; all the damn vampires

    Lost Boys comes to mind for vamps who say "radical?" It's got Alex "Bill S Preston esq" Winter in it too, right ?

    I mean, people are still alive who were alive 30 years ago. So vampires would probably be saying β€œradicalβ€œ at about the same rate that non-vampires their age say it
