[Closed] Words you learn from your teenage children...

As a teacher, life is a constant whirlwind of new vocabulary...

Peng is a bit old hat now.
Triggered definitely still current.
Roasted is up and coming.
Watch out for Lit over the next few months.

Eh?

wicked - I love new language

(wicked means "good", by the way)

Lit af fam.

This is a good one - turnt: https://www.bustle.com/articles/76324-what-does-turnt-mean-plus-how-to-tell-if-youre-living-turnt

Fugly, fit has a different meaning so im told

I'm triggered that you think triggered is new. My fam has been talking triggered for months.
He said my new creps were safe, so the boy is lit.

I'm rubbish at this stuff!

Took me ages to work out whether "it's pants" was a good thing or a bad thing back in the day. Now I can't remember which it was - but it doesn't matter cos no one uses it anymore.

West
Graft
Speaking

No - I've no idea either

Laike ... woh!..ehvah

^ means 'I really do not intend to give two of my shits'

'Triggered'

^ means 'omygawwwd lollllzzzz u ackchewllee give a shit??? Andifyousayyou don't then that ackchewleee prooves dat u DO!!! llllooolllmigod Omygaaawwd!!!?'

"Triggered" has come from the States where it started to be used sarcastically in response to it's serious use by SJW/safe space types.

SJW meaning?

Social Justice Warrior.

Social Justice Warrior.

Along with triggered, snowflake, cuck - all new favourite terms of the 'alt-right'. Pretty much instantly marks out anyone using them seriously as an utter ****.

I have an apprentice who turned 20 this month. Things are often "sick," apparently.

Off topic now, but add "virtue signalling" to that list.

And "libcuck" turned up on the page of a brand whose social media I work on last week, when it was temporarily invaded by a handful of these misanthropic right-wing bell ends.

[i]Pretty much marks out anyone using them as an utter...[/i]

Shut. Up. Or I shank you up, yeah.

And "libcuck" turned up

I've no idea what that means, but it looks like it should be in the swear filter. Liberal... something? Cuckold?

thirsty. Not what your gran would think.

Goals seems to be up and coming in our house
And bae

Both used by my daughter. My son is above such nonsense 😆

Isn't 'wicked' about 20 yrs past sell-buy?

Thing about teenage buzz-words is not so much the actual meaning of the word. The buzz-words are all merely generic in/out group taunts and/or superlatives. The important point to teenagers is to actually utter this achingly current 'edgy' word they heard or read from someone who they currently admire/worship.

The saying of the word is like the bursting of sebum from an annoying spot. Teenagers are often vile, like a stinky distorted chrysalis waiting to be the butterfly. Sadly, many of these buzz-words seem also to be used by middle-aged online personas. I am sure that the internet and social media is infantilising multiple generations. Wotevs.

Ship and patch, were two I recall from my then 13yr old.

Ship, to match up in a relationship. Yknow, see Dave and Rachel, yeah I totally ship them.

Patch, or to be patched, is to be ditched or dumped by your mates.

Read more BuzzFeed. I do and my teenage slang game is on fleek fam.

Lit has been around rural west Oxfordshire for a while now. Therefore can't imagine it is current. Came out with wagwan a few weeks ago which I havent heard for a few years. Do these things go in cycles?

Dip - which apparently means leave, or perhaps leave in haste.

Legit - which means honest.

I'd laugh, but our new words in the 90s were just as bad.

Although to be fair, they described themselves as SJW's in the early days of the millenials rights movement.

I'm pretty sure people were saying legit in the 90s.

Even as a teen in the late 80s I couldn't stand kids saying that.

Along with 'radical'. Oddly fallen out of use except to refer to a terrorist instead of something rather cool and awesome.

"Radical Islam" video in 3.. 2.. 1..

Things are often "sick," apparently.

We still seem to be going through Valley Girl speak on the train to Cheadle Hulme.

I'm all for sneaking proper old words into conversation. It's splendid.

Oh, sure. But I associate "sick" with that sort of BMX / surfer / stoner dude type, pulling sick tricks and the like. Essentially, I hear it in the voice of Jay (of '... and Silent Bob' fame). Point was it seems to have gone mainstream.

Along with 'radical'.

Turtle power.

Salty has been used here recently, when someone is exasperated with the teenager.

You try telling that to the General.

😀

I did once have someone deported for repeated use of the phrase "hella-phat".

Three days with 18no. 16 year olds on campsite for DofE and I was unfortunately 'educated', through a shouted conversation, what a 'mandringo' is... 😯

NSFW.
Very NSFW.

Can I apologise to the rest of the campsite, again, who also heard the shouted conversation at 8am in the morning.

We got a feedback form back for an event we run, it was well dench apparently.

Triggered is a weird one, it means "Hurray! I've been a total **** and now someone is upset, I'm so pleased with myself"

Cuck/cuckservative is really fascinating when you think about the inspiration process... Whoever first came up with the term to describe moderate conservatives, essentially admitted that they like to fap to the idea of their wife getting screwed by a black guy (because the porn term wasn't in the public conscience at the time, the only reason you'd know it is because of your [i]personal research[/i]...) And my how it's been embraced

Soz = My apologies Sir/Madam

I left site the other day in that there Londinium.

Gate man: You back tomorrow.

Me: No, probably not 'til Monday.

Gate Man: Safe.

Me: err, bye.

I've being saying safe to everyone since. (I have no clue)

"Calm" is said by my 15 year old pretty often these days and crepps when referring trainers or pumps as I like to call them

pied. as in 'she pied me off' as in dumped i think?

He looks like the love child of Grace Jones and Lewis Hamilton.

"Strumpy" = Stroppy and grumpy.

New words are mega.

pied. as in 'she pied me off' as in dumped i think?

pied = blanked

derived from 'air pie' (which in turn comes from 'air', ie 'nothing')

so - to 'get air', to 'get air pie', to 'get pied', to 'get pied off' etc, all mean much the same thing.

see Dizzee Rascal - Everywhere (2004) for early usage 😉

derived from 'air pie' (which in turn comes from 'air', ie 'nothing')

Not to be confused with 'hair pie'
