I’ve always kind of loved the term “yesteryear.” Though I’ve often wondered if it’s supposed to mean literally last year, a recent year, or just some vaguely romantic notion of the past.
Of course, words only mean things based on how we use them, so it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to me when I looked it up and found the definition literally included all three connotations.
With that in mind, I hope you’ll enjoy being blasted right back into yesteryear, via these nostalgic memes.
