Do you use current phrases and "hip" words?

[Diznygrl]

I've been guilty of using "fail" for the past several years. Though I suppose that one is probably considered outdated by now.

"Salty" is the big one around our house. Seems like everything makes DD18 "salty". LOL!!

Yep that's the one word I hear around here too. I have 3 teenagers and I don't really hear them using a lot of these slang terms and words when they are home around us. I imagine they do with their peers. But salty had me scratching my head when my dd16 started using it. I guess it means mad or annoyed, but that's not the definition in the urban dictionary but how my DD uses it

I also work in a school, so I hear a lot of phrases come and go. I usually check Urban Dictionary. I have not heard "ratchet" in quite a while now, maybe that one has run its course. I do remember for a while, if somebody ever asked when something happened, the common reply was "about a week ago" accompanied by a dance.

I have a question about this. And I am not offended at all by what your wrote (and not picking on you because I see it often) but why is it ok to say "stereotypical white girl" and no one bats and eye but if someone said "stereotypical black girl" they would be labeled a racist "?

..because discrimination against white people is perfectly acceptable unfortunately....and if you speak out against that, you are labeled racist and it's a no-win situation. It's just an offshoot of the politically correct movement and affirmative action...

I just happened to remember seeing this list somewhere within the last few months, did a google search and found it. (The story was this was put out by a Chic Fil A manager), I have no idea if it is true or some kind of joke. I read through it and found it pretty amusing. I have heard most of those phrases at school myself, some to excess.

I totally forgot about "or naw". I was guilty of using that one myself until somebody told me to look up the video on youtube of that song. Once I saw that video, I quickly ceased using that phrase .

Did anybody else love the commercial with James Earl Jones and Malcolm McDowell speaking slang? So funny! I don't even remember what the commercial was for, but I loved it!

This is an older one.

"Booty Do"

When a person's stomach hangs out more than their Booty Do.

"Booty Do"

Almost every low end T-shirt shop at the Jersey Shore features a decal saying something like: "Dickie-Do Winner. My Belly Sticks Out More Than My Dickie-Do".

Bae is annoying to me also. When girls I teach talk about boys I will ask, "oh is that your beau?" And they swear every time I messed up the word bae.

Then again these are the same kids that asked if I had a game on my phone and when I said I had no games on my phone they responded, "why do you have a phone then?"

This made me laugh!!

As for me, I'm middle aged and don't have children so I don't really know any of the new slang.

Since I started teaching elementary school, I've found myself picking up and using some of the slang they speak daily. It's not intentional by any means...it has just kind of happened.

My 8 yr old was talking with DH at the table doing homework, he asked her something -" Daddy it is so obvi " Good Lord I am in trouble with that one! I have 14 and 11 yr old DDs sometimes they say weird stuff, but, and I am ashamed to say watching Housewives, and Vanderpump Rules helps in a weird way.

I also loved that sprint commercial with James Earl Jones- Totes ma Goats!

 

[disney4us2002]

Not really. I'm guessing "my bad" is out and I'm glad because I hated hearing that one about 100 times a day.

I always thought "beau" referred to a refined young gentleman that a Debutante invites into the drawing room, not the bedroom.

At first I thought "Bae" referred to Beyonce, but now I realize she's "Bey".

At first I thought "Bae" referred to Beyonce, but now I realize she's "Bey".

And that's pronounced "bee"....

It was my grandmother that got me started saying beau. I'm sure your definition is the same one she was aiming for. Anytime I would mention a guy's name it was followed by, "oh is that your beau?" I took it to mean guy I was interested in, not my rag tag backyard baseball and marching band guy friends.

After I first moved out on my own, an older friend of the family asked my dad how I was doing. Dad told him the usual, good job, renting a house. The friend asked dad if I "had a mate yet." I about died hearing that one.

I have no idea if the phrases I use are hip or not lol. I like to say oh my gravy a lot and calm your t***s is a new one of mine.

My DH teaches at a small University and he learned the hard way that it would behoove him to pay attention to trends, slang, etc. On the first day of chemistry lab, he was reviewing the safety rules: No food or smoking in the lab, no putting on make up, everyone must wear lab coats and eye protection, you need to wear long pants and closed shoes, so no skirts, shorts, sandals, or thongs. The kids EXPLODED with laughter! He didn't get it, even when someone asked, "Um… how exactly do you enforce that?" Of course, DH meant FLIP FLOPS!! Somebody finally explained it to him, and he learned to pay attention to trends and slang, and how to use Urban Dictionary!

I've been known to tell my teen "Bye Felicia" but that's about it. her name's not even Felicia.

I have also tried to explain to her that someone who says "ratchet" is just someone who can't pronounce "wretched" Just like "ho" is a misprounounciation of another word. She doesn't believe me.

We had the "thong" memo at work too. They meant dressier sandals that still have the strap between the toe. We were afraid we were going to have an underwear check. We were saying that panty lines were mandatory at our job.
