My teen uses foul language a lot of the time and although she does it when angry I think that my reaction is making it worse. So I'm trying to ignore the awful words. Now she's switched to using words I have to go and look up in the urban dictionary.
Even when she isn't angry or is being complimentary she's using words I don't recognise.
It would be really helpful to me if parents of other teens could share the popular words and what they mean so that I am not perpetually back-footed.
An example: these peaches are peng. Don't get the value peaches again. These ones are so much better. So Peng is 'better or the best quality'. In relation to peaches: extra delicious.
Or individually wrapped mini cheeses are 'boujie' which although the dictionary tells
me is derogatory and aimed at someone aspiring for a higher class (bourgouisie) is used by DD and her friends to mean 'special and fancy' and thus good.
So, help me out please: what words are your teens using that aren't necessarily obvious that would be useful to know . Thank you!
