your kids and grand kids when they talk to you and each other? A young Brit gal has composed and published a dictionary of current teenage jargon. It has a decidedly British accent but the same kind of book could be published here in the US of A. Some of the critics of the book say that it is obsolete upon publication because the minute the language becomes well known -- the kids will develop a whole new 'slanguage'. I reckon that's true but I also agree with one set of parents who said: "The kids are entitled to any creative language they want, but we insist that when they are talking to us or any other 'rents' or grown-ups, they don't mumble, turn their heads, speak in teen-speak or generally talk like a 'fudge'..."!
Sounds like pretty good rules to this ole' boy!
