Salad Days

Definition

The period of youthful inexperience when your judgment is green and your execution is reckless—basically, when you make questionable decisions and don't care about the fallout. Think of it as your personal era of 'what could possibly go wrong?' (spoiler: everything).

Example Usage

My salad days in college involved a lot of poor financial decisions and even worse haircut choices.
