question for the masses
my mother has to write an article about how language changes...
she asked me...
what do kids these days say for 'that's cool'?
Like when I was a kid it was 'that's wicked' or 'rad'
I told her maybe to concentrate on what lingo rappers are using and like how paris hilton "coined" the term 'that's hot' (even though my drag queen friends have been saying that for years...)
So does anyone know what the present equivalent of 'that's cool' is?

Re: question for the masses
"That's hot"
That's just my guess. I've been out of HS for 9 years already so I might be a little off.

Re: question for the masses
thats sick
thats dope
thats hot (which you already said)
thats bad (if someone is wearing a shirt someone else likes they might say this)
I work in the middle school though so they tend to be behind on the times

Re: question for the masses
I just emailed my 17 year old niece for you. I'll let you know what she says, she's at school though, so it will probably be later.

Rachel Zoe says it a lot, maybe they picked it up from her show?

Re: question for the masses
i think you need to not just show terms--but how they SPELL them
a conversation with my 17 year old niece on FB:
her: omg Titi -- dis boy iz trippn
me: what?
her: nd he iz alwaz tryin 2 talk 2 me n othr gurlz @ skewl
me: what?
her: he keep msgn me on FB nd iz gettin krazy. he wuz sayin the same stuff to mii bestie 2
me: what?
her: how shud i handl it?
me: what?
they are tending to type in regular ways like they would txt. its become quite the annoyance.

Oh goodness, yes! My cousin who I think is in 11th grade honors English ( so I know he CAN do it), does not use puncuation or capitalization when he write to me on Facebook, ever.
I get messages like:
"haha no i want to be friends with you nice profile picture btw lol"

it makes my head ache and want to rip my eyeballs out. I told my niece that when she types like that, she looks like an ignorant person and one day she is gonna do that on a paper in college or on a job application or something. I feel like it takes MORE WORK to type incorrect and LiKe ThIS AlL tHe TiMe than just say it correctly.
Another prime example, my DH's teenage sisters wrote on their other brother's myspace page:
yoooo lil bro this is your bigg sis hackkin dah myspace if any1 got a problem with you i gott yur bakk if dey dont like it dey can call me at 1-800-kiss-my-@ss lol i luvv you 2 death iight ducez ? yOOO00OO biG bRoO dIS bEE dEE liL siS sElEnA yUH kNO i lUvV yUH sOO lEt mEH sHoW dEm mYspACe hAcKERZ hOW 2 dOO00 hOLLA iF aNY hOEE gOT a pROmBlEM dEy cAn cUmMM tHrOuGh nD cOMM fRoNt mEh i ainT cAre wuT nO1 sAy dEM hAtErZ nEEd 2 fALL bAKK hAtiN oN mY iLL bRO dUN fuKK wiT hIM cUZ hE wiLL jUS fUKK yUh uP nD hE gOtT mAdD pEoPlE dAt gOtT hiZ bAKK sOOO00 sKrEAMMMmmM iiiGhtY iM oUT 1
