I told my 12 year old that she sounded like a broken record because she kept asking for the same thing repeatedly. She gave me a weird look so I asked her if she knew what it meant. She thought a broken record slows down and distorts voices, so I had to explain what it actually meant.
This is just a reminder that some phrases we grew up with might not be understood today.
