A simple guide to how teens talk

Here is a quick list of phrases to know when conversing with a teen.

I've found that many of my slightly "older" friends need a translator when they are out or seeing something a teen sent. This is basically my second language....If I didn't have to take Spanish, I'd take teen and get an A. If there are any other terms that you want defined, leave a comment!

i'm shook

shocked. eg. OMG that movie was so crazy, i'm shook!!

its lit

1) really cool or fun 2) under the influence

eg. The party last night was LIT bro!

fam

close friends, homies

eg. What up fam!

deadass

seriously

eg. i ain't lying bro, I'm deadass

can’t even

too ridiculous.....

eg. Bro, I can't even.....

bye felicia

just leave. NOW

eg. "hey guys i'm leaving" "bye felicia!"

Use this in your teen dialogue for stories! Lately I've been reading a lot of YA and the type of teens written in the books are just not relatable. Teens today text. They use this slang.

This is how teens today talk. Watch some Jake Paul or something and you'll hear all of these like 100x

Author note: this is my first post here so figured I'd post a short fun one as a test. Plan to post some longer original work in the future. Also follow me in Wattpad! https://www.wattpad.com/user/plutoistheworld
