Light hearted.

WhatsApp messages between mum and two daughters.

Two of us messaged at exactly the same time 'spill the beans/tea'.

And the argument ensued ....

Apparently 'spill the tea' (her) is correct as in 'spill the tea gurl' (daughter's spelling) and she insists she's correct and 'spill the beans' (me) is obsolete.

She (tongue in cheek) said 'I is right cos I is rizz'.

I have no idea what that means, but can you give me examples of cool dude sayings so that I can continue this conversation in the same manner?

We're discussing gen X, gen Z and millennials and I feel a bit lost.

I need to 'get down' with the new street parlance so that I can surprise them.

There’s a guy in TikTok who is a teacher I think and he retells Shakespeare in this language, as if he’s teaching the kids. It’s very clever and very funny.

If you have TikTok, Macbeth in teenage speak

My teens use:

Giving (that's giving 90s energy)
Vibe (it's a vibe)
Main character/ NPC
Nah (they never say no)
Drip (re: clothes to signify approval)
Delulu (delusional ie mad)

Try Richard Franks on Shakespeare. This one’s Romeo & Juliet

Coming late to this - remembered the thread from last week’s round up.

This is brilliant! I found the TikTok just by googling as the links weren’t working and my 14 yo DS is now in fits of giggles. Henry VIII was the original rizzler - I’ve now tried to explain what I know as a rizla! 🤣🤣🤣
