Slang Expressor

This mom knows all the words and phrases “the kids are saying these days.” She watches The Hills, of course she gets it. This mom is also known to mix it up a bit by incorporating slang from the past 20 years into her conversations at inappropriate times. Such as “Killer”, “Right On” and “Talk to the hand.”

She says “tight” and “sick” and she's not talking about your jeans or a 102 temp. She doesn’t use these words around her friends. She reserves these gems for use around her kids’ friends. Her friends wouldn’t understand anyway. Not that she’s haten’ it’s just, well, they can be whack.

Sample Convo:

Friend: Hi Ms. T.
Mom: (holding her fist up for a bump) Whassup, whassup little man?
Son: (Eyes rolling heads to the fridge for a Dr Thunder)
Friend: (slightly/awkwardly bumping fist w/mom) ummm, not much.
Mom: I hear your new skateboard is off the chain!
Son: Mom.
Friend: Yeah, I like it.
Mom: That Fred across the street has some sick skills. Maybe he will help you.
Son: Sick. Skills. Seriously?
Friend: (slowly looking at his friend) Okay, uh, thanks.
Mom: Fo shizzle.
Son: (disgusted and walking out he gives a nod for his friend to follow)
Friend: See ya, Ms. T.
Mom: Later dudes.
