Parents get a lesson on lingo

[thiosk]

Some goodies:

Fap: Drunk, Confused
Pwnage: To Own.
Moo: Bored.

Methinks this reporter needed to actually google what her kids told her.

Last I knew, a 'piece' was still a gun.

And who the hell says fo shiz? I thought that was just used to make fun of rappers?

 

[Mr. Grey]

That article is a riot.

But it leaves me curious, does anyone actually still say "rents"?

 

[Valate_v1legacy]

What...? That's, like WAY off, and I life in a rather 'run-down' area. I read through that and only spotted like 7 accurate definitions/words.


[Edit]: Wait, a munter is an ugly fellow? I thought it was a melee hunter. Too much wow, I guess.

 

[The_Healer]

Wow.

Adults are truly more idiotically naive than ever.

 

[ottenni]

Huh? I recognized four. And even then i only ever use noob or pwnage mockingly. And funnily enough uber is German for above, just there is an umlaut.

 

[Manhattan2112]

What the hell? I always assumed that young people, such as myself (15 years old) used perfectly normal English. You know, like... functioning members of society. What the hell!? What if in 70 years, this paper is all they have to remember from the time! Oh Christ! We'll look like idiots! This article must be burned!

 

[Danish_4116]

Oh my god. This furthers the negative stereotype of my generation.


I have heard 'normal' people in my age group say about five of those (mostly when taking the piss out of something or someone)and some of the ditzy of my generation use another three or four of them.

 

[Necrofudge]

Ah I've been taught to expect even less from society. I didn't know it could drop lower.

 

[UltraParanoia]

Google image results for fap has nothing to do with alcohol.

But they are all amusing.

 

[Xyphon]

Not even on the INTERNET have I seen most of those words....

 

[WolfMage]

I gotta say, my favorite was "secks", defined as "something desirable."
Yeah, I'd say so.

 

[Beefcakes]

Maybe those are American or something because half of those don't means whats there saying they mean down here in Aussieland
But, why do they need to know?
Its good knowing another language to confuse oldies with
Also, this:

Spoiler: Happyness within

Some XKCD lovin'

 

[ethaninja]

That's some pretty old school lingo right there. Now days the word c*nt can pretty much mean anything in the English dictionary, right down the the full stop.

 

[Gxas]

Not American, mate. We say nothing of the sort here.

Its just adults being idiots and trying to understand something that doesn't need understood. Kinda like men trying to understand women.

 

[Orange_Clockwork]

Quick! We should all speak Nadsat.

 

[manic_depressive13]

How insulting. If anyone's children actually speak that way, it says a lot about them as parents. They don't need a dictionary, they need a rope and a chair.

I mean: Dang, whoever wrote that must have been crunk and fap, fo shiz. Most of it is smak and they jacked the colloquialisms of today's youth.

...Now why did I just do that? *shudder*

 

[Beefcakes]

Sorry, nope.

Not American, mate. We say nothing of the sort here.

Goddamn, then where are these coming from?
I wanna know where that article was published, surely it can't be Aussie...
British?
