The last time someone mentioned scoring a dime to me, I looked around to see if any undercover fuzz were hiding in the bushes. Back in 1970, a dime was a $10 bag of weed and the fuzz were the cops ready to arrest you for possessing it.

But times and slang have changed. Nowadays, to properly understand texts from your kid, it’s helpful to know what they are talking about. Everybody knows someone (else) who mistook LOL to mean “lots of love” instead of “laugh out loud.” And OOTD isn’t a teenage hybrid of “out of the office,” but rather “outfit of the day.”
Leave it to ASKfm, the popular teen app, to offer parents a primer to get them up to speed.

I gotta admit that a few were NTM 😉
