I don't use the modern vernacular.
Gen X here and coolness peaked with my generation, it's been all down hill ever since. My wife is getting in the Halloween mood and so we watched "The Craft" the other night and it struck me that my generation had Nancy Downs as our "goth girl" and Gen Z has the lame "Wednesday Addams" that I saw on a ceral box not too long ago. Sort of sums up everything for me and so I'll stick to my grunge music and devil may care Gen X coolness. |

My old boss who is also a friend use to do that with texts. I didn't read it as mad, but I did read it as like "but wait there's more" or something. Like I would text her "I'm going to fire Bob for farting on my phone and giving me pink eye. Is that ok with you?" and would get "That's fine..." and then nothing. Like wtf am I supposed to do with that answer?
When I finally asked her about it she had no idea she was even doing it. If I ... at the end of a text it means something. Not anger though or etc though. Probably "here's my short answer but hold on because I'm typing something longer. |

It's means something is left unsaid and has the implication that the other person needs to fill in the blanks. So it isn't always mad, but it's is asking for the other person to fill in the blank and therefore is often a form of passive aggression.
Eg [me] hey I'm going to be home late [wife] again... Anyone think wife is happy? She's definitely mad in that text. ETA, homework, what's this mean' [me] you ok? [wife] fine... |

I use it as a soft break in a sentence… when there’s more to be said, yet the initial statement was sufficient.
Or without saying more, though there’s still more that can be said - and is easily understood as such… Meatloaf again, yay… Works great all on its own too. “We’re having meatloaf tonight” … Yeah, I know what : ; and - and () are for. But … is fucking versatile. Eta: The new generations are just overly sensitive pussies who read far too much into things. |

Funny, my generation younger wife asked me last week to stop using "..." because apparently to her
it doesn't mean mad, it means roughly "this is obvious and you must be dumb to not notice it." Everything I paused/trailed off in thought apparently I was insulting her, lol. Clearly, though, the meaning of ellipsis has changed from what us Xers and older knew it to be. |

Apparently someone decided that the three periods (...) means they were/are mad. Other folks think that the three periods (...) at the end of the sentence or statement means etcetera/and so on/and shit like that. Sort of like when someone decided that the old "OK" sign made by creating a circle with your thumb and forefinger with the other three fingers pointing upwards meant "white power" or something like that.... (it was a trick because I used four periods)
Maybe I'll just switch to three commas,,, or semicolons,,, but watch out if I use three apostrophes''' ...,,,''' |
