Are you a confused parent who can barely understand what kids are talking about these days? Here is a quick guide for defining what many of the slang terms you are hearing come out of your child's mouth really mean. This knowledge will help you relate to the younger crowd, and maybe even make you feel like a kid again.

First off, "Netflix and chill" literally means Netflix and chill. Typically when a young adolescent opens up their Netflix account it is because they have finished all of their homework, but they do not want to stop their learning process for the day yet, so they find something as educationally stimulating as possible to watch on Netflix.

After skipping over some of the boring shows like "Breaking Bad," "Sons of Anarchy," and "Gossip Girl," your child will usually look for a creative PBS series on the nature of somewhere excessively uninteresting, or maybe a riveting documentary on a long deceased white man from history like one of our founding fathers. Then once they have chosen which form of brain food they are prepared to watch, many youngsters will invite a friend over to engage in the riveting documentary.

This is referred to as, "chilling," because usually the couple will not interact with each other at all. The most crucial piece of "Netflix and chill" is that each participant focus on what is actually playing on Netflix as much as possible.

Another common term many youngsters are using these days is "Bae." But it turns out bae isn't even a word at all! Bae is actually an acronym which stands for books and education. Isn't it wonderful how focused today's youngsters are on bettering their futures? It turns out when I heard my son say, "Thanks bae," to his girlfriend the other day he was actually giving a shout-out to the education system and studying as a whole.

A third term that took me longer to decode is, "Turnt-Up." I am still not completely positive what being turnt-up is or how one would go about turning-up, but it is clear through my interactions with young people that being turnt is a very VERY bad thing, and you want to avoid it at all costs. I've heard numerous young people complain about how they were too turnt-up and how many of them even vomited from being so intoxicatingly turnt-up. Many young people can even tell when they will be turning up the most, and it is usually on Fridays and Saturdays, but I even know some of them who do it on Thursdays as well!

Now that you finally understand the language that your sons and daughters speak, why not try it out for yourselves? It is a foolproof fact that your child will love it if you try and speak like they do so why not try out some of your new vocabulary. The next time you see your child why not try out a line like, "Hey bae! Would you like to Netflix and chill with me later? I'm not trying to turn up too much tonight though." Surely your child will respond with open arms, and will feel a better connection with you because you talk to them at their own level!
