old people question

[psocoptera]

Does the current slang term "salty" mean the same thing as used to be meant by "fresh", in the sense of impertinent or argumentative? "Are you getting [fresh/salty] with me?" I'm not sure I'm understanding it right, but I always like the slang evolution thing where opposites show up as synonyms.

That's what I'm used to. Like someone playing an online game who pulls off an improbable come from behind might ask if that makes the other person feel salty.

Yeah, that's closer to the way I've seen it used online--almost a taunt itself.

Huh, so is it referring to the other person's angry, bitter tears?
