Do I get extra points for knowing most of these?!?! :-)) I did not know lipdub!
LOVE this! Even though I teach high school, I'm bookmarking this. :-)
interesting! i've heard a few of them before. thanks for sharing!
They haven't made their way to my kids. Sure, my 12 year old pick up the swear words but not these one. *rolls eyes*

Amazing how language evolves. I didn't know a single one of these. Mind you I thought LOL stood for Lots of Love for such a long time until our niece told me otherwise.
I'm with Petty. I can't believe how quickly it all changes. I guess I'm stuck in my own lingo. =P
Oh wow. I'm totally out of it. I didn't know any of these. That does it--I'm only writing fantasy and sci-fi where I can make up my own slang. LOL
