Although I am not the mother of a teen, I spend enough time around teens to know one thing—- half the time I have no idea what they are saying. I’m talking about teen slang, or slanguage, of course. Slanguage is a sometimes secret, arbitrary and every changing language. If you have teens at home and find yourself confused by what they are saying, I present to you an A to Z primer of some of the more popular teen slanguage today.
