Word of the week: Refusing to act your age

October 3, 2017 at 3:27PM

Definition: Someone who's an adult — at least chronologically — but behaves like a kid.

Sample usage: "He's a typical kadult — has pancakes for supper and plays games all day. Basically, a seventh-grader who can buy cigarettes."

Popularity: Who needs this word when we already have "millennials"? (Just kidding.)
