A MILLENNIAL has accepted his age after attempts to talk about drugs with younger colleagues left him sounding like a police officer.

Steven Malley, 37, tried to bond with Gen Z coworkers by asking if they had ever “done a line of Meow Meow”, immediately killing the conversation.

In separate incident he referred to a “tenner bag” of cannabis, causing him to later admit his drug knowledge was “tragically outdated”.

Malley said: “Apparently nobody calls them Es anymore. It’s MDMA, and it’s not a pill, it’s a bag of dust. Also, laughing gas is now something you do at clubs, not the dentist’s.

“I thought I’d seem cool dropping a few drug references, but I just sounded like a government information campaign about to warn them of the dangers of sharing needles.”

Colleague Ellie Shaw, 23, said: “Steve’s drug chat has big narc energy. I always have the urge to check if he’s wearing a wire.

“He kept saying these words like ‘gear’, ‘dope’ and ‘Charlie’, and nobody had a f**king clue what he was on about. It’s like he read Trainspotting as a teenager and thinks that’s still enough to get him by.”

Malley has now decided to avoid the subject of drugs and bond with colleagues over new streaming shows such as Better Call Saul and Dexter.
