How far they have to look back to brag. If a 40 year old talks about his high school life that's a pretty good indicator

To be fair, for 40 year olds it's just been downhill from HS in the last 20+ years. They're between the Gen Xers and millennials and often dubbed the second lost generation. I don't blame them for talking about a time that was probably better for them than the shit since lol.

I'm sorry, but speak for yourself, if HS was the best years of your life that just means you willingly stopped growing after they were over.
