A schoolgirl has written a guide to teenage slang after her parents complained they couldn’t understand her.
The girl said: “I hope the book clears up confusion. Some parents don’t give teenagers enough credit for some of the words they use. More come up every day and a lot are very creative.” Her guide includes 300 teen words such as “antwacky” (unstylish), “cotch down” (sleep), “rago” (OK) and “zip” (yob). It also includes her three golden teen talk rules: never make eye contact when talking to a “mouldie” (parent); always mumble inaudibly; try to include “like” in every sentence.
