I haven’t heard those yet. My kids are 7 and 5 and haven’t been influenced by that stuff yet. Though my 7 year old referred to me and his mother as “bro” for a week straight earlier in the school year lol.
Yep! I have 10 and 12 year old boys. Literally everyone and everything can be addressed as ‘bro’, ‘dude’ or ‘chat’.
 
Just so you can keep up…


You don’t want to be like the boomers who still complain about millennials as being “those damn kids” when they have hit middle age, and are being regarded as old farts by Zoomers and Alpha.
Karen finna be hard to cook. She’ll body Jessica’s manager. No cap.

You ain’t hep to the jive, daddy-o? Don’t get 86’d.
“23 skidoo” is the great-grandfather of “6-7”, that is, a hundred years ago it was an inside hipster term employing numbers that the flaming youth of the time used in their secret language. However, it had a specific meaning(more or less, “I’m outta here”), whereas the current thing is baffling as the assigned meaning is fluid, apparently. Ya dig?
 
Jessica is fine.

My young boys brought the 67 thing home. I explained to them what it meant and they were like nuh uh… wait what? I got your number kids and it doesn’t mean Jack squat.

The younger generations need to do a better job of defining their abstracts. They got the idea, but the execution on 67 was garbage. It was still fun though except I sympathize with their teachers that fell for it.
