Youth lingo
Thursday, May 31, 2007
Just been watching Big Brother, with Tracey telling Lesley what Phat means (good, top stuff, etc if you didn't know), and Lesley asking if there was a thin (no there isn't - at least that I'm aware of)! Quite a funny but painful moment. It is at this point that Big Brother does its job as a social experiment, in this case highlighting the differences in cultures.
Language changes so quickly it is often hard to stay up with it, but as a Children's and Youth Worker it is fairy important to at least have a clue what young people are saying so you understand what they are saying to you, and to their friends in the middle of groups.
