Get the ages mug.When a girl swears that her current sexual partner is a Sex God in comparison to the last. She'll claim that the last guy couldn't do it for her, but she used to call him a Sex God. It's like she forgets how good it supposedly was before.
Every time there's a new guy she swears the sex is the best of her life, and that the guy before couldn't compare. But that's what she said about the LAST guy. Does she have like Vagina Amnesia, or something!? Does she forget how good it was before???

Get the Vagina Amnesia mug.Like mansplaining, this occurs when someone who is older or grew up in a different time/generation tries to explain something without realizing that the younger person they are talking to knows more on that topic than they do.
Valid for use when the person perceives themself as being older whether they actually are or not and still explains in the same condescending fashion.
Also used for when the elder explains something that no longer is culturally valid in our society, such as the means for a student in the US to be able to be debt-free when graduating. Often the agesplained statement comes after "when I was your age."
