I’ve downloaded the most recent version just in case.
I wonder if there’s a cut-off age for when people stop absorbing current slang. I think I picked up “on crack” as a synonym for “crazy” at some point in my late twenties, after resisting it for a few years. And I can remember the first time I heard “way” as an intensifier (“way cool”) in college, and my roommate being surprised when I started using it.
I think I’ll continue to resist “ass” where my generation uses “crap” or “shit” (“that looks like ass”); it just sounds prissy to my ears, like something you’d say on TV when you couldn’t say “shit”.
