Being Oneself #1: “Youth talk”

“In” language is neither universal nor timeless.
  • Youth deliberately try to have a unique vocabulary specifically to exclude “clueless” older people. Grant them this illusion.
  • Don't be clueless. Learn the current vocabulary, just don't use it yourself unless adults your age adopt the language (at which point it will change)
  • Besides, you'll usually be a week or two behind them :)
