Teen Slang...?
After extreme boredom led me to research sites that had "Teen Slang Dictionaries," I realized that it's no wonder parents and kids don't get along - the poor parents are horribly misinformed. I mean, any dictionary that would give this as a definition:
Rock - adj. totally great, cool. "Hanson rocks!"
should be burned without question. HANSON?!?!?! Perhaps that is appropriate for "The pre-teen of 1994 slang dictionary," but if our parents still believe that Hanson is still "in," then it is no wonder that they misunderstand our angst. I figure that, since these phD wannabes can't get it right, I may as well dispell a few of these - ahem - myths. I suppose I will start by re-defining all the "slang" words given in one of these pathetic websites, and then adding to the list as I see fit.
Here is a disclaimer I found one a "Youth Ministry" site:
WARNING:
This teen lingo represents today's culture and many of the problems that go along with it. Although much of it is humorous, a good portion of it is very offensive. Many of the words are terms for sexual activity and drug use. Many of the examples given are common quotes from youth today- these quotes, although somewhat edited, can be foul or vile (sadly, all the below phrases can be said in a PG movie). I believe this dictionary has educational value in helping youth workers understand teen mentality and culture, but please do use discretion.
Haha. OK, here goes it.
And sadly, I am going to be cut short from using the computer by my poor mother, who has no idea what those teen slang sites she's surfing are doing to jeopardize our relationship. This entry will be continued later, fo skizzle.
