MORE TEEN SLANG

James Callahan, 43, teaches sociology at Lowell, Massachusetts, High School, and throughout his 15 years teaching, he has overheard plenty of words he didn’t understand being uttered by the students at school. So, he started compiling a list of slang. He recently shared the list with his students, and one of them took a photo and posted it to Twitter – and it quickly went viral. Here are some of the current slang words from his list that are used by high schoolers.

* Here’s the problem with slang: While I was reading this, half these words went out of use.
* What if you text somebody “no cap” but you do it in all caps?
* “Smacks: a tasty treat”. Stolen from Kellogg’s Honey Smacks. As Deadpool says, “That’s just lazy writing.”
* If I was James Callahan, I would have slipped in a half-dozen totally fake nonsense phrases, and then sat back and watched as they took off.
* Wait – how do we know he DIDN’T do that?
* So, yurr. Come back after the break, because we are finna schlitty. No cap. Nunya – no cap.
