DS sending abbreviations to friends and I can’t find what they mean

[ilovemybabies124]

Recently, my DS (15) has been talking a lot in an online group chat filled with people that he knows in real life, but 2 or 3 people that he doesn't. I decided to look at this chat, just to make sure he is being safe, and noticed something odd. There is a lot of mentions of this specific abbreviation: 21CB. No matter how much I look on the Internet, I can't seem to find a straight answer. Another phrase that was frequently used was "Couch curry" which I don't understand, either.

I've asked him about it and he just seems to avoid the question. Is this code for drugs or something sinister? Please help!

What context are they using it in?

useless without context

My two teens have absolutely no idea what these mean I so would say it's something they've made up!

Is the chat related to a game they are playing?

Need more context not just random words, with a full sentence this may make more sense

he just seems to avoid the question

How does that work? Insist he tells you!

Why don't you ask him?

I just had a skim, so didn't really get a proper look at all of the sentences, but I believe it was things like "can't wait for next 21cb" and "that's so couch curry"

I checked tiktok and 21cb is a green day album

The only reference I can find to 21CB is the Greenday album 21st Century Breakdown!

Curry is an Indian guy. Couch is something good. 21CB, probably cocaine related.

2IC is also military for Second in Command but I don't think that's what they mean 🤣🤣🤣🤣

2cb is a drug. A bit like speed or ecstacy.

My teenagers said don’t worry. It’s nothing.

21CB - 21st Century Breakdown: It is a common abbreviation used by fans to refer to the 2009 album by the American rock band Green Day.

If this isn't also you, you could ask this poster from the other day what they found out?

Explain that either he tells you what those abbreviations mean, or you stop paying for his phone contract. And the broadband. And Sky/Netflix/whatever.

2CB is a drug (it’s a bit like a mix of MDMA & Acid) but 21CB could be related or not related!
