Just having a conversation with my teenage daughter who's off school for the next couple of days. Don't understand their language. What are 'toos'

Dirty toos? Vomit? I don't think that it what she's going on about!

Oh that's vile. And a great way to get some sort of infection, I'd imagine. Yuck.

Hmm
Yarboosucks · 28/02/2018 22:51

Probably a good thing!

I don't think its anything along those lines. She said she had to do PE in her toos because she didn't have her PE kit. It doesn't make any sense to me?

No idea! I’m dreading the teenage years, I can hardly keep up with my 8 year olds abbreviated terminology never mind a teenagers.... teenagers are tenacious and sneaky and smarter than their parents, I’m not envious! 😖

Hopefully MN can shed some light.

Scottish friends? Or is our Scottish slang suddenly becoming cool? 😎 ... sorry I mean ‘epic’ as cool is now uncool, apparently.

Why don’t you just ask her and put us all out of our misery?
