Ask the male teenager

Dear Male Teenager,

I am currently in denial about getting older and am desperate to appear “hip” and “with it”. Please tell me the current “cool” slang terms that kids today are using so that I can casually drop them into conversation at appropriate moments.

Yours Sincerely (or should I say “Respec’”?),

Obvious Loser Definitely 'Fraid Of Getting Increasingly Elderly

My favuorite superhero would probably Sync. Not very well known, and very underused IMHO.
My position on the war?
I really don’t/didn’t want a war. Well, I don’t want violence or death of most* kinds, but how likely is that gonna happen?
My favuorite band is Sublime. Unfortunately the lead singer died, but they’re in a new band called, I believe, the westbeach all stars.
Race in SC?
Well, it depends on how you play:
If you play offense, use Terran
If you play defense, use Protoss
If you want a mixed type game, try Zerg
Terran edges by a little bit, but their mostly equally mixed with certain advantages, not one race totally beats out the other two.

You’s my dawg, dawg, know what I’m sayin’ homeboy?
Heh.
I know a few:
Say Bomb Diggity or variations of it a lot. Like, say for example “Damn, that bomb diggity of a diggity bomb diggity flat out bombed me diggity doggy!”
Say Dawg. A lot. Remember, the frequency matters. For example, “I’dawg likeawg godawg dang diggty moviesdawg, itawg roxxordawgs toawg the maximum!”
That should work :wink:

You mention being on medication for “mood improvement.” Are a lot of people you know on such medications? What seems to be the general attitude among your peers about psychiatric drugs?

What are you proudest of having done?

What was the last movie you cried at?

How many siblings do you have? How many parents?

How tall are you? How tall do you think you’ll be when you’re fully grown?

Are you ever going to grow a beard? Shave your head?

Do you think you’ll go bald?

Ah – “Wiggaspeak”. Is anyone else having Airplane flashbacks? (“Excuse me, stewardess, I speak Jive…”) :wink:

I cannot think of any one else that I know that’s on a medication of any sort, and the issue doesn’tget talked about, really.

Long Beach Dub All Stars

A Sublime fan, who thinks they’re from ‘West beach’ , and doesn’t smoke.

and here’s a little slang for everyone… poser!

“Chrush dem bitches up!”

you don’t know anyone else on mood stabilizers? How big of a school do you go to? I know so many people on em, that I didn’t want to go on em, because it seems almost like a fad. But they have made a difference. Just curious.

Not that I know of, maybe some of the kids with ADD are taking ritalin?

I am proudest of getting two B’s in English and Science in grade 7, my first B’s.
I don’t recall ever crying at a movie.
I have one brother, a mother and a father.
I am 5’3 currently, but most of the men in my family are usally over 6 feet, I would say 6 feet, at least.
I do not think I’ll grow a beard, nor ever get my head shaved.

Ooops.
I don’t think I will go bald, I want to keep it as long as possible.

I don’t know of anyone in my high school class (250 people) being on mood stabilizers, either. Sounds a little creepy.

A+ answer.

I usually don’t like these ask the [whatever] threads. But you’re making this one work. Carry on, Aslan2

Thanks, Kevja!

What the heck are you doing up so late? Do your parents know you’re up? Don’t you have to be up early in the morning, to mow the lawn or something?

Also, name a couple of skills you hope you’ll acquire eventually.

Wait a second…

You’re 5’3", and you have size 11 feet?

Watch out for that growth spurt. You may very well get whiplash.

I’d start wearing a neckbrace now, just in case.

/hijack/
Walloon. Almost anyone I know who’s on em (I remember seniors from when I was a freshman, I know some freshmen this year), has cause to be on em, whether they be for bi-polar, depression, ADD/ADHD, or something else. (I’m in a class of 400, knowing people from 3 classes before me, and 3 after, cause I’m a senior.) I don’t know a LOT of people on mood meds, but I do know more people on them than you guys do. But maybe my friends and I are just really open about it, or there’s something in the water.
(sorry bout the hijackAslan2)

Someone mentioned this earlier and I wanted to bring it up again. Not you, I am guessing, but some teenage boys seem to get great delight out of being rude and humiliating complete strangers in public.* What do you think they get out of this?

*Example: When an unattractive woman or girl walks by, saying “There’s your girlfriend!” and laughing.

The reason I’m up late is because the medication I take is supposed to make me happy, rather it makes me tense, bounce off the wall, then get really drowsy, and keeps me up all night.
No, I don’t really have anything to do. It’s a non stop thrill ride, let me tell ya.
I hope to acquire good writing skills, publish some books, have my every word dissected by critics world wide.
Oh wait, those last two aren’t skills that can be developed by me. :wink:
I especially want to be able to write funny stuff, really funny stuff. I would enjoy to be able to entertain someone, make them laugh most of all.
