A Grandparent's Guide to Kid's Slang

Say What Now??  Hey Everybody! I came across an engrossing article by Matthew Swenson the other day that I'd like to share with y'all. It's about interpreting and understanding younger kids' or even your own grandkid's slang.  Quite an informative and enjoyable read.     Each Generation Has its Own Lingo  by Matthew Swenson Much to the chagrin of anyone from the Buckeye State, "Ohio" is slang for a putdown on today's school playgrounds.

As we watch anti-Blackness, anti-migrant, and all forms of hate rise in today’s America, especially against anyone who isn’t cis, white, or Christian, this book feels urgent. For me it served as a history lesson and a warning... I'm going to be honest, this isn’t an easy read, but it shouldn’t be.
