Strange words

Newfangled

I had heard it just in a song (can't remember which). Never knew what it meant. I guess it means, modern, but being English my third language, I wouldn't be sure how or when to use it.

I'm going to post words that are new to me, once in a while.

Just because.

Oh, I start classes at the School of Education on the 22nd. Adventures of a middle aged student coming soon...

Newfangled ... isn't new. It's been around longer than I have and that's a long time.

It can be used to describe something that actually is new. "That newfangled car that runs on air."

It can be used jokingly sarcastic like - "You should have let me know you were going to be late. We do have that newfangled invention called a telephone."
