Apparently, my fit is fire

I have started teaching trumpet lessons at my boys’ middle school, and today was my first day. I taught a master class, which is kind of like a group lesson, for the kids in the Honors Band. After the class, one of the trumpet players went up to my son and said, “Your dad’s fit is fire.” My son translated that for me, and it means that  I was dressed well.

I was wearing dark gray Dockers and a dark red polo shirt.

I guess I have been accepted by the tribe.

What Ttyymmnn might look like, if he were about 45 pounds lighter, 25 years younger, and had dark hair and a hipster five o’clock shadow.

Maybe it was the belt. When I searched Google for “dockers with polo shirt,” about 90% of the pictures I found were with the shirt not tucked in. I guess I’m just an old.

“Your dad’s fit is fire.”

It’s good to know I’m officially an old man.

As I continue to struggle to understand the modern lingo, I think there might be some corollary to the word “lit,” which means something that is “really cool.”

I just asked my son. Apparently “fire” is better than “lit.” So I guess I really made a good impression.

Must be nice. I’m pretty sure my fit is tragic.

Standard attire around here. Tuck in shirt to look professional during meetings, untuck shirt when actually working/shitposting

I was just trying to look like an adult.

My usual attire is shorts and a solid color tee shirt, definitely not tucked in. I wouldn’t wear that in front of a group of students, though.

I didn’t realize the youths actually talk like that. I figured it was just how they write on the Twitter and the Snapchats

Social media is the only media.

Welcome to the club.

The only "lit" I've heard of is a result of being "over served"..

I’d never heard that expression. Nice to know you can still hang with the cool kids*

How did you like the class?

*relatively speaking, since we’re talking about trumpeters here.

It was fun. I really like presenting stuff in front of a group of players. I tend to get rather excited and dynamic. I think the kids respond to that. Unless I look like an idiot.

Not necessarily  mutually exclusive at this age.
