I'm not sure I want to know the answer, but is anyone able to translate some teen slang for me?

[ThingsIdontwanttoknow]

I just saw that a bloke has posted on DD's Instagram 'jumpers fire my guy'. I've not really been able to work it out but the little I have found has made my heart sink. She's 20, so an adult but has made some very poor decisions in the last year which make me think she can be a bit vulnerable.

Anyone able to translate for me?

It literally means that jumper is cool. He could be saying that because it’s his jumper and he’s just pointing out that she’s wearing it by saying ahhh that’s a cool jumper

It isn't anything seedy or inappropriate.
He's just saying 'cool top, pal'.

I take it to mean your jumper makes me hard Lights the fire in his ‘guy’ Gets him going.

It's honestly not that deep.

Urban dictionary is a pile of made-up shite.

@ThingsIdontwanttoknow

She refuses to talk about her MH.

I'll have a think about how to approach all this.

I'm sorry but it's not right to talk to an adult about this.

It probably is a comment about blow jobs. Do you follow her on Insta?

I find all this public everything very grim, I might politely mention social media and future employers but tbh I'm not even sure that matters.

My doctor's pen has hovered over the bipolar diagnosis many times, I talked them out of it. But my sex life at 20 was no one's business but mine.

As a young person, I couldn't imagine it would mean anything other than I like your jumper! I've never heard it used in a dirty context in my life.

No teens in my house but I'm finding it hard to believe a teenage boy would comment on a jumper. Unless it's sarcastic, I'm just not buying that explanation.

My dd 16 says it means "that jumper looks really cool my friend". I believe her 😁

She also says "don't trust urban dictionary, its just ridiculous!"

She asked if I had seen her post and wanted me to like it (she's very insecure about how many likes she gets). I only noticed the comment later.

I'm going to think about how to approach this. I will probably say nothing. The comment may mean nothing. The fact that she asked me to like it argues that it isn't sexual - or that she thought I wouldn't understand it.

I don't think she is bipolar. I do think she ticks off some of the symptoms of Borderline Personality Disorder.

I have an enormous amount of experience of listening and talking to her - I've been her main support over a pretty tricky adolescence. But there are things she won't talk to me about - and of course she doesn't have to. It doesn't stop me worrying a lot about the decisions she is making.

Sounds like drugs to me.

He's definitely just saying he likes her jumper. Nothing more to it really!

Well he's not a teen, he's university aged. There are heaps of lads that age who are very into what they wear and fashion so I don't think it's an unreasonable assumption at all.

And I agree with PPs who say a huge amount of what's on Urban dictionary is complete rubbish

Really interesting chat with my dd about this. I'm really not sure her peers use as much innuendo in their comments as mine did at that age. Dd says they can't be bothered/don't have brain space.

"The fact that she asked me to like it argues that it isn't sexual - or that she thought I wouldn't understand it."

Puts a different slant on it I think.

...I am this age and there is no meaning to this beyond knitwear 😂

@ThingsIdontwanttoknow

When I looked through all the pictures I noticed a couple when she had a jumper on.

But not in the picture with the comment.

If she knows you’re on her Instagram and has asked you what you think of the photo, I doubt it’s anything sinister. You also have an easy in to say, what does jumpers fire mean?

It means he likes her jumper, my guy is like friend or mate

so ...

If a jumper is someone who gives oral, then one translation might be:

ok no. I'm not going to say.

You're right. It could be really pretty much not at all what you as a mum would want to be reading or being part of. She's 20. She's an adult. They interact on social media. You can't stop it or police it. Maybe best not to read and upset yourself. It's so different and worse from the outside. It could well be an idle compliment, him trying to be cool. But yes it could be vaguely derogatory. Especially if she's been vulnerable and done some things she might regret.

These moments of pain and embarrassment - we all have them. They pass. I guess just be there for her. And maybe it is about her jumper. I feel it might get worse if you ask her, though. Xxx

Literally just complimenting a jumper... why are some people on here so keen to worry others unnecessarily!?

I can assure you no young person is using the term “jumper” for sex or drugs

@Kona84

This didn't half make me chuckle

OP, he's only complimenting her jumper. I guarantee It.

@Viviennemary

Sounds like drugs to me.

If this person wanted to tell the daughter that they enjoyed the drugs she gave them/they took with her (assuming that’s what people are thinking it means??) they would text/WhatsApp/whatever it to her, not comment it under a random photo on Instagram. The comment will be related to the photos or the caption of the photos.

Otherwise that’s like commenting “that was a great cup of tea” under your friends new Facebook profile photo because you drank a cup of tea with them the other day.
