A Handy Guide To What The Heck Your Kid's Slang Means

HUH?
A Handy Guide To What The Heck Your Kid's Slang Means

If you've got school-age kids, you're probably hearing a whole new vocabulary from them. And there's a pretty good chance half the words that come out of their mouth are a complete mystery to you.

"Maybe I am showing my age here, but my three teens talk to me in ways I wouldn't be able to understand if it weren't for Google," writes Katie Bingham-Smith today. "I am not mom, I am bruh, pronounced strictly as /brə/ rather than "bro" because it's way more lit to say it that way. By the way, kids don't say 'lit' anymore — it's so 2016 — but I kind of like saying it because my kids think I'm cringy (another word we'll explain) anyway so why not really embarrass them?"

And so she has helpfully defined some of the words that you're likely hearing out of your kids' mouths that have you completely stumped. Don't say we never did anything for you!

From The Confessional: 'I Don't Want More Kids Because They Are Expensive'

We're back at the Scary Mommy Confessional, and today we're talking about having – or not having – more kids. "I've always wanted to have at least two children but I'm not sure about that anymore," says one reader; another admits, "Want a third desperately and my husband doesn't. I'm 41 and the resentment will prob end us." If you need to get something off your chest, the link is here. And if you want to browse past Confessions, head here.
