In a previous article Deciphering Teen Speak: Words parents should know I discuses a list words that teens use that parents need to know. I also wrote Deciphering Teen Speak: Drug Related Words Parents Should Know. My next article was Deciphering Teen Speak: Sex Words Parents Should Know. My final installment of this series speaks to words boys use that are disrespectful towards girls. Many of these words are misogynist, and while the boys may not realize it they victimize women. Parents should know these terms so they can stop teen boys from using them and discuss why they might be using them.
Here is a list of derogatory words that teen boys may call girls:
Chicken head: word used to describe a girl as ugly and unwanted. It derives from a term that suggests that the girl performs oral sex.
Pigeon: Speaking of birds, pigeon also means an ugly girl. It is also another word that means a girl likes to perform oral sex.
DSL: refers to a girl with full lips. Unfortunately, it is hardly a compliment as it is an acronym that means a girls lips are well suited to perform oral sex.
Bopper: refers to a girl that steals other girls boyfriends.
Dip set: This word means a girl is ‘nasty’ and ‘easy’.
Buttaface: This word describes a girl that has an ugly face and a nice boy. It means “But her face…”.
Cakes: This word is used to say a girl has a voluptuous rear end. Term used will be “she’s got cakes”.
Donk: This is another word that describes a large backside. This is short for ‘badunkadunk’.
Squirrel: is a word to that means a girl is very pretty or “hot”. It is synonymous to “shorty”, and ‘dime piece’.
Coke bottle: This word used to talk about the thickness of glasses. It now talks about the curves on a woman’s body.
You might wonder why I went through the trouble of looking up and listing such a list of horrible words. The reason is that as a mother of a teen boy, the last thing I ever want is him using words that denigrate girls. If you do hear your son using some of these words, don’t think the worst. Stop and have a conversation with him. Some kids pick up words without understanding the real reason. As a mother of a teenage girl, I would like to thank anyone who works to make sure boys don’t say such hurtful words to and about girls.
