What are they saying?

When I was a kid we said things like, “you’re so fiction”–meaning, you’re lying. Or, “gag me”–meaning that makes me sick or disgusted. Or, how about, “tubular, man.” It seems like there are words in each generation that don’t really mean what they say. Here are some for today. “Bussin”–that’s something really good. Or how about, “cap.” That means lying or faking. Here’s another one, “sus.” That’s suspicious. “You been acting super sus lately.” Why am I sharing this? Sometimes, our kids talk in code with their friends. Knowing their vocabulary is half the battle in knowing what’s going on in their lives. As we help guide them through the tough teens years, especially today, the more we know, the better we can help point them to Christ, which is our first calling.
