ホコ天のナウいアベック銀ブラか Are the nice couples in the pedestrian zone strolling through Ginza?

今日は針供養の日。しかし、針供養から俳句が思い浮かばず、断念した。

ところでこの川柳。年代によっては「何言ってるのか、全然わかんな〜い！」と言う人もいるだろう。

しかし、違和感なく理解出来てしまった人は、年寄り扱いされるとのこと。

何故なら、全て死語と認定されている言葉だからだ。

「えっ！普通に使っているよ！」という人は、頑張って使い続けましょう。

私も使い続けてみようかと思っています。どうせ流行は巡るので、また流行るだろうから。

そう考えることが、年寄りなのかもしれない。

でも、私は死語からの復活を目指してみたい。

Today is the day of needle offering. However, I couldn't come up with a haiku from the needle offering, so I gave up.

Some people of my age may say, "I have no idea what you are talking about!" I have no idea what you are talking about!

However, those who could understand it without any discomfort would be treated as old people.

This is because all of these words have been certified as obsolete.

What? I'm using it normally! If you are saying, "I'm using it as a normal word," then keep on using it.

I'm thinking of continuing to use it myself. I'm sure it will catch on again, since fads come and go anyway.

Maybe I am old to think so.

But I would like to try to revive it from the dead.
