There needs to be a new word to describe
the expression of a person over 45 when they drop the words ‘bling bling'* into a sentence, and then turn to marvel at your reaction.
The full horror of that look - the mix of pride, expectation and just a hint of coyness - as far as I’m aware doesn’t have a direct English word to describe it.
(*it’s never just ‘bling’ with the over 40’s. Anyone aware enough to know that people stopped doubling it up long ago would know never to use it fullstop).
