Attention Old People: The saying "Jumped the shark" has "Nuked the Fridge"

You know how it used to be cool to say something "jumped the shark" when you were describing how that something has passed its prime and become ridiculous and/or dated? (You know, it harkens back to that Happy Days espisode when Fonzie water skis over the shark.) Well, you can't say "jumped the shark" anymore-- lest you out yourself as a geezer-- because that expression has um, passed its prime, etc. You wanna be a cool hipster? Then you gotta say, "nuked the fridge."

Sorry Indy. (Click here.)

I never even heard of the expression, “Jump the Shark”... Does this mean I was always ahead of my time?
