\"people-438827_1280\"Folks, I became a father in 1989. That means that way back in 2002 I became the father of a teenager. Then in 2004 I added two more. Another in 2006. Then one more in 2008 followed by one in 2009. In 2012 I added another. Finally, this year my youngest daughter will turn 13 and become a\u00a0terrible teen<\/em>.<\/p>\n

While they eventually outgrow the teen years (I have five 20-somethings as of last week), they do manage to retain some of the language that they picked up as teens. Since my teenage years were spent in the 70’s and very early 80’s, the language that I used was as foreign to them as theirs is to me. Sometimes when I hear my kids talking to their friends, it’s like an entirely different language. I jokingly call it Teenish<\/i>, to the icy stares of my children.<\/p>\n

So, as a service to all you parents of teens, here are some of the words that you’re going to be hearing from your teens. I double dog dare you to ask them to define them! Totes don’t be lame though.<\/p>\n
