The one that is the last “p” in “O.P.P” that refers to a woman’s anatomy. I can’t even write it.

I’m pretty laissez-faire about slang. I don’t like when people call their relations “the fam”. I also don’t like when people say “fuck-buddy”. Other than that I am okay with just about everything.

That word took the world by storm. I learned that term from Donovan, who in turn learned it from an editor at Jane magazine while filming a segment for a reality show, so it comes with a strong pedigree.

uhm. i use so much crappy slang i probably shouldn’t even try and judge.
i kinda really hate modern day reggae slang or whatever you call it… words like “jah” and the like bother me when i hear people my age actually say them.

I dislike it when my kid pronounces ‘p0wn’ or ‘pownage’ with the ‘p’ sound intact. I try to explain my belief that the joke only works visually since it its a fake typo spun off from mocking ‘l33t’ styles or whatever. I ask her why she also doesn’t pronounce the zero. It’s no use. Kids think they know it all.

I think, at least for right now, it is ‘Gotta’ as in: “That is, it bolstered my confidence in the antithesis to thier(sic) point: that San Francisco has gotta be the best city on Earth.”

Cutesy terms like ‘TTFN’ (“Tata For Now”) ‘fabu’ and ‘besties’ sort of make me want to vom.
I shouldn’t judge too harshly, however, as have been known to substitute the word ‘fudge’ for the f-word and can’t stop using various other gems such as ‘totes’ and ‘obvi’.
