<\/p>\n

by: Steve Bosch, Vancouver Sun
\nBest to hold your tongue or risk sounding utterly \u2018ridonkulous\u2019 if you\u2019re older than 30<\/p>\n

If your kids are slangin\u2019 with as much delight as scat singers running up and down a new vocabulary of sounds, don\u2019t even think of joining in.<\/p>\n

It blows chunks when parents try to talk like kids, and there\u2019s a good reason for that. We\u2019re too old.<\/p>\n

Slang vocabulary, like musical tastes, or physical height, may be one of those things that is more or less fully formed before we exit our teens.<\/p>\n

Last week, when I asked my eight-year-old son how his last day at summer camp went, he casually dropped the word \u201crandom\u201d into his reply \u2014 as in \u201cMommy, that question was so random.\u201d<\/p>\n

There were more random acts of vocabulary to come.<\/p>\n

Summer camp had apparently involved a lot of time within earshot of some very sick teenage counsellors. That\u2019s sick as in cool, dope, sweet or bomb.<\/p>\n

Suddenly things my son didn\u2019t want to do were \u201clame.\u201d Things that made him happy were \u201csweet\u201d or \u201cfresh.\u201d He had also mastered an accomplished new lexicon of swear words. (Which he\u2019s filed away, no doubt for later use.)<\/p>\n

Learning teen slang \u2014 not to mention the so-called \u201cbad\u201d words \u2014 this summer was like getting the keys to a secret kingdom. I could tell he was pleased with himself.<\/p>\n

With each new word, the door of understanding, both social and linguistic, cracked opened a little more.<\/p>\n

Pamela Munro, a linguist and editor of U.C.L.A Slang 6, defines slang as \u201clanguage whose use serves to mark the user as belonging to some distinct group within society.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, when your kid is slangin,\u2019 he\u2019s really saying he is different than you \u2014 and he likes it that way.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnthropologically, kids form themselves,\u201d said Munro. \u201cSlang is a kind of code or password if people are trying to show that they are a member of your group.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMost people start using active slang when they are in junior high,\u201d said Munro.<\/p>\n

By the age of 17 or 18, they have a fully developed slang vocabulary that is particular to their unique demographic.<\/p>\n

Adults rarely add much that\u2019s new to the slang vocabulary, said Munro.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just can\u2019t do it if you\u2019re over 40. Even 30 is too late,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

It is in high school and college that people formulate the vocabulary they will use for the rest of their lives. \u201cWe will always feel those words are absolutely right and appropriate for a given situation even as younger groups coin their own terms,\u201d said Munro.<\/p>\n

The way we use slang therefore becomes a dead giveaway to our age. We may dye our hair, have babies later in life, and keep our bodies intact but if we try and talk like someone 20 years younger, we won\u2019t be able to pull it off.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t feel right, it won\u2019t sound right, and it will be clear we\u2019re just TTH. (Trying too hard.)<\/p>\n

Adults can\u2019t pull it off<\/p>\n

Jasmine Lattimore, a 17-year-old Richmond student going into Grade 12, said it backfires when adults try to \u201cbe hip.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy Spanish teacher used to say pwn, as in owning somebody. People laughed out of courtesy, but it was painful to hear. She was fortysomething.\u201d<\/p>\n

(Pwn, pronounced \u201cpown\u201d according to urbandictionary.<\/p>\n

com, is an act of dominating an opponent \u2026 as in \u201cI pwn these guys on Battle.net.\u201d)<\/p>\n

The fortysomething teacher, probably should have stuck to, say, \u201cI totally rocked it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Anna Ward, 18, who recently graduated from Vancouver\u2019s Lord Byng high school, said she\u2019d laugh if her parents used her age group\u2019s slang.<\/p>\n

Ward feels slang is good harmless fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019d curb it if I went to a job interview, or in certain situations. Mostly we just mock our own age group and mock ourselves.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ward said abbreviating is common \u2014 Obvs for obvious, for example, vis for visit.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe add \u201cskis\u201d to the back of anything,\u201d she said. Whatevskis for whatever, whenskis for when drinkskis for drink.<\/p>\n

Munro said slang comes from sources that include standard words, abbreviations, \u201cacronymy\u201d (DILF and MILF), initialism (LOL, OMG, WTF) and African American culture.<\/p>\n

According to Munro, swear words are less taboo among her students than they have been for previous generations.<\/p>\n

\u201cI didn\u2019t even know of the existence of certain words until I was in my 20s,\u201d said Munro. Among her students now, swear words are used almost colloquially.<\/p>\n

Slang phrases may have helped the expletives devolve in power. While not technically slang words, they are a common part of many slang expressions.<\/p>\n

\u201cI swear like a sailor,\u201d said Lattimore. \u201cYou get used to it and it loses meaning.\u201d<\/p>\n

When Lattimore and her friends go out, it could just be for \u201cshits and nipples,\u201d for example, which means to have a good time. (While they\u2019re at it they might hook up with some pimp guys, rickroll a buddy, ditch the crunk hoodrats, and stay out troubs with the po-po.)<\/p>\n

Lattimore likes to keep up with what\u2019s in and what\u2019s out (lame, for example is out). If she hears new slang, she won\u2019t ask what it means \u2014 that might expose her as being out of the loop. She jumps online and looks it up on urbandictionary.com.<\/p>\n

The website has become the go-to decoder for both kids and parents. But is a word still cool if everyone knows what it means, including grown-ups?<\/p>\n

Linguist Robert Leonard recently argued in the New York Times that the Internet is stripping slang of its \u201cexclusionary power.\u201d<\/p>\n

Munro rejects the notion that accessibility lessens slang\u2019s cool factor. \u201cThe Internet can\u2019t make control of slang available to all groups \u2026 your grandmother won\u2019t be talking like L\u2019il Wayne even if she knows the words.\u201d<\/p>\n

Aaron Peckham, the founder of urbandictionary.com said his website is really just about \u201chelping people understand each other better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Urbandictionary.com, where words both \u201cfularious\u201d and \u201cridonkulous\u201d are explained, draws 15.5 million unique visitors a month.<\/p>\n

Anyone can submit words and phrases, contribute to and vote on definitions.<\/p>\n

Peckham doesn\u2019t believe that a posting on his website automatically robs a slang word of its street cred.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is interesting,\u201d Peckham said, \u201cthat something that is exclusionary, people also like to share.\u201d<\/p>\n

Peckham, 28, started urbandictionary.com as a lark when he was a college student in 1999. He recently left his job as Google software engineer to run his website full-time.<\/p>\n

Eighty per cent of Urbandictionary.com\u2019s users are under 25. The other 20 per cent Peckham figures includes parents trying to decode what their kids are saying, texting and coining.<\/p>\n

Staying current isn\u2019t easy simply because language among the under-20 set morphs so rapidly. Peckham and a group of volunteers sort through about 1,000 submissions a day, and discard about 50 per cent of them.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy editors reject words that don\u2019t make sense, and especially words that refer to anything that\u2019s really violent,\u201d said Peckham.<\/p>\n

Site \u2018of value\u2019 to kids<\/p>\n

The site gained notoriety as part of the ACLU\u2019s successful 2006 fight against the American Child Online Protection Act \u2014 COPA would have effectively put urban dictionary out of business by requiring filters to keep minors off the site.<\/p>\n

When Peckham was asked on the witness stand whether his site offered sexually explicit words, he admitted that 18 of the top 20 most popular words on the site were sexually explicit in nature. But he argued that the site provided a service that was of value, even to minors.<\/p>\n

Peckham said, \u201cI remember being a third-grader… there was a vocabulary I wanted to understand but the dictionary simply denied the word existed.\u201d<\/p>\n

When the prosecutor asked for a clarification of the website\u2019s definition system, he brandished a list of sexually explicit slang culled from the site and insisted Peckham explain, using the word \u201cteabagging.\u201d<\/p>\n

(I\u2019d explain the word here but it is NSFW: Not Safe For Work.)<\/p>\n

Peckham managed a modest explanation, and the ACLU won the case. The website stayed up, and teabagging stayed on it.<\/p>\n

In an ironic twist that perfectly demonstrates just why a site like urbandictionary.com is of sociolinguistic importance, the term \u201cteabagging\u201d made headlines again recently when U.S. conservatives used it as part of a populist tax protest.<\/p>\n

Citizens were urged to send teabags to the White House in an apparent reference to the Boston Tea Party tax protest of 1773. \u201cTeabagging\u201d events were enthusiastically promoted by Republicans, conservative pundits, and the FOX network.<\/p>\n

What the tax teabaggers didn\u2019t know was that the term has some very unique \u2014 and overtly sexual \u2014 connotations in contemporary pop culture.<\/p>\n

Had the Republicans looked up \u201cteabagging\u201d on urbandictionary.com, they might have avoided the gleeful public skewering that followed in the media.<\/p>\n

For those who do want to keep up, Urbandictionary.com also picks a word of the day. A recent one was \u201cafter clap.\u201d It means \u201cThat last person\/people who keep[s] clapping after everyone else has stopped. Normally, parents.\u201d<\/p>\n

So, even if you are an after-clapper (or simply over 30), the teabagging incident is a good example of why it\u2019s so important to keep up with pop culture by learning its lingo, even if your kids don\u2019t want you use it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
