I don't like it when people say, "you're so grown" or "Hey, you ain't grown."

It's always bothered me when people use the word, "grown" in a context where they are stating they or someone else is now an adult or can't be an adult yet.

I heard it a couple of times in college and it always sounded like an immature way of saying, "I'm an a adult."
