In the modern world, it is increasingly difficult for a teenager to gain popularity, attention and recognition from peers. One got a gadget of the latest model, another bought a newly released computer game, the third is a permanent winner of the Olympiads, to whom everyone turns for help and advice. How to be, in what to prove yourself? There is a way out - these are cool phrases, using which you can declare yourself as a progressive young man who is well acquainted with modern culture.

Dead week

In English it sounds like "dead week" and means the most stressful time immediately preceding the delivery of any test, report, project, presentation, exams, etc. If you tell your friends something like “Yes, it's just some kind of dead week!”, The majority, most likely, will not understand the essence, because the expression is only gradually entering the Russian language, in contrast to the already established “deadline”, which means "deadline". However, the cooler it will be, because, as you know, whoever first learns something new sets the tone for the future!

Internet White Knight

“The representative of the“ couch troops ”" - now it sounds irrelevant. Today, a new expression is introduced into cool phrases, borrowed from English, where it sounds like "Internet white knight" and denotes a person who gets into an Internet dispute and begins to defend a person who is unable to defend himself through facts and arguments. Therefore, this phrase can be safely adopted by any teenager who wants to prove to someone on the Internet that he is wrong. Cool expressions and phrases, as you can see, only help in this - you just have to try! Not a single participant in the discussion will have the idea that you are a “newfag” (newcomer), who has just got acquainted with the world of social networks and cybersports.

Productive procrastination

This phrase is especially relevant for those who like to shine with erudition and erudition. It means a state in which a person has some important business, but, due to unwillingness to do it right now or ordinary laziness, replaces it with another, more accessible and easy one. It would seem, what does cool phrases for teenagers have to do with this? It's very simple, because this phenomenon is very typical for young people. Often, children choose the option to replace complex homework, such as housework or “surfing the web,” although time passes and the main task remains unfulfilled. This phrase is cool because it can be given as a reason even to a not too strict teacher: “Maria Ivanovna, I didn’t do my homework, because I have productive procrastination!”. The class will probably decide that you are going to enter the psychology department in the future. But in the first seconds, a thoughtful mine on the teacher's face and the surprised admiration of classmates are guaranteed.

Book hangover

Cool phrases also include the phrase "book hangover" in their list. Do not worry - it does not in any way apply to alcohol. A book hangover means the feeling that a person experiences who have just finished reading an interesting and exciting book and returned to reality full of imperfections. And the book reader will find their coolest phrases, so do not think that they apply only to fans of Internet battles or other areas. From a large list, every boy and every girl will be able to choose something suitable for themselves.

Cool words and phrases for PC games and communities

Teenagers are especially active today not on the streets of cities, but in virtual worlds. Well, and for them there are cool phrases, the supply of which, frankly, is inexhaustible, because every year the dictionary of "gamers" is replenished more and more.

Of course, the specific game matters, because each subtlety and nuance will have its own. However, there is a so-called traditional set, referring to the use of which, there is no doubt - if people are "in the subject", they will understand and, most likely, will accept.

"To roll" is a word that comes from the English abbreviation "ROFL", which stands for "Rolling on floor laughing" and denotes a strong laugh, identical to the already familiar abbreviation "LOL" ("laughing out loud"; hence the "lolka", " lalka "in relation to a person).

"Buff" - use a temporary advantage on yourself or an allied hero. “Buffny me!”, Thus, carries a completely logical meaning - “hang” on me an additional bonus to my abilities.

"Imba, imbalance" - imbalance within the game. For example, if the enemy is difficult to defeat, players often like to blame it on "imba" and flaws, but this, in fact, is not always the case.

"Stun" is a word derived from the English "stun", which means "stun, stun" and "paralyze". With regard to games, being able to "stun" means having the ability to stop the hero and hold him for some time in one place on the map without the ability to perform any action, which is especially typical for games of the "MOBA" category, that is, those where the main the action takes place in an online multiplayer battle arena.

And, finally, the most useful and, perhaps, the most necessary word for a beginner player is "noob" (from the English "newbie"; in a slightly more derogatory version - "cancer"). It means a beginner who is just beginning to master the basics of mechanics and understand the abilities and skills of the characters. Therefore, during a team game, you can casually explain to colleagues that you are a "noob". Most likely, they will laugh knowingly and will not demand much, but the beginner will have the opportunity to learn everything necessary already during the direct gameplay.

It's time for conclusions ...

Thus, there are many cool expressions and words for teenagers today - you can't list all of them, and why? Young people, keen on a certain field of activity, necessarily "pick up" from their comrades those phrases that are required for a certain situation. Therefore, the only advice that can be given here: everything cool should be used in moderation and in the right circumstances. In this case, success is definitely guaranteed!

Dangerous slang

If you hear the following words from your child (on the phone, in a dialogue with friends, but not with you), then there are serious reasons for concern: the child is talking about drugs. The potent synthetic cannabinoid has many names to look out for when speaking to a teenager:

Jivik, spice, mix, grass, greens, book, magazine, boshki, heads, palych, hard, soft, dry, chemistry, plastic, hay, sticky, cherry, chocolate, scattering, rega, smoke, green flag, frog, splash - all these are the codenames of the drug.

Language substitute

Sometimes the speech of a teenager becomes so incomprehensible that it causes disgust and rejection. But most often "word substitutes" are used by those children with whom the parents have never particularly communicated, ignored their states and moods, asked to be silent and not interfere. In addition, with the process of growing up, a child needs to belong to a certain subculture. Neuropsychologist Ekaterina Shchatskova says that at this age it is incredibly important to feel like part of a group.

Often this is what achieves such an important new formation of this period as the strengthening, expansion and delineation of the boundaries of the "I", although it may be illusory. At the initial stage of the formation of the personality of a teenager, one can note denial, delaying growing up. Hence such manifestations as special music, style of dress and behavior, vocabulary. All this can symbolize distance from the world of adults, especially if there are some difficulties in family relationships, the specialist clarifies.

The reason for using slang is the desire for independence. Often for adolescents, "adulthood" is presented as freedom, but they still cannot realize that responsibility also exists in "adulthood".

The neuropsychologist also notes that it is still not worth prohibiting the use of new words and scolding the child, since this is a temporary phenomenon.

However, if the use of specific vocabulary is not situational, but constant, and the adolescent seems to be speaking in a foreign language, then it is worth paying attention to family relationships: this may signal the presence of problems with trust, with the separation of the adolescent from the family, the specialist notes.

It is very important from childhood to instill in a child a good taste - for books, music, films, games. Spend time together watching films and reading books, paying attention to cultural activities, going to theaters and exhibitions. If a child hears a beautiful and correct speech around him, he will not have a desire to vulgarize it, but, on the contrary, he will try to talk in the same way.

And first of all, parents need to be an example for their child in terms of speech: if you yourself speak, do not understand how, then what do you want to hear from the child?

Teenagers clearly understand when and where it is possible to say certain substitute words, and when it is necessary to switch to ordinary speech, - says psychologist Ekaterina Koksharova. - To reduce the level of "pollution" of children's speech, adults can offer various generally accepted variants of substitute words, so that children enrich their vocabulary.

Sooner or later, a teenager will no longer need to "be his own" in the circle of his peers, he will really choose his own circle, corresponding to his level of development and intelligence, where he will be comfortable and understandable and will not need to simplify his speech just for the sake of being understood and accepted.

In any youth subculture, slang is one of the ways of self-expression. Everyone goes through that age when the vocabulary is clogged with various "words" that have nothing to do with normal speech.

Over time, most slang words become a thing of the past, but people use some of them all their lives, without even thinking by whom and when they were invented.

For example, the now popular word "joke" was coined as early as the 1970s. But the word "gerla" (girl), which was used at the same time, has remained in the past.

Words you heard this year from teens, but were embarrassed to know their meaning

The Expert Council at the Center for the Creative Development of the Russian Language has drawn up a list. In the first place, according to the council, the word "renovation", in the second "bitcoin", in the third - "HYIP". According to the majority of Moscow teenagers, “HYIP” is no longer surprising, since even the world of parents recognized him as one of the main ones. But there are many such words and memes that even the most inquisitive adults still have to translate.

For example, the word “ fame"(From English fame- glory, fame) - in the literal meaning, fame, fame. Unlike "hype", it has no emotional coloring.

Example: Druzhko loses a fame (Druzhko loses popularity).

Another of the words that are actively used, primarily due to the culture of rap battles - Punch or punchline(from english punch- beat with a fist). This is a concise phrase / line ( line), which should hook your opponent very strongly. Like a crushing blow in boxing, in rap battles the main blow is the punchline, where the opponent is "touched" as much as possible.

Example: Yesterday the mathematician gave me a pair on the counter, and even punchline rolled it out.

Many words in the adolescent vocabulary express feelings. Often these are English or Japanese borrowings, often tracing copies from English, there are also Russian words used in an unusual sense. But almost always these words are so emotionally colored and pronounced with such a feeling that they are intuitively understandable without translation.

Kripovo / Kripota(from english creepy- creepy, shivering) - something scary or vile.

Example: Yesterday I watched the movie "It" - no, for me something is creepy.

Zashkvar- an obscene, shameful, unworthy act. Also - to wear unfashionable or, conversely, clothing that has become too common.

Example: Just think, Egor's parents took away his smartphone full of crap!

Wearing sweatpants with chelsea is a bastard!

Vinishko- a representative of the “Vinishko” subculture, a girl with short (no lower than shoulders) hair, bleached or dyed in bright colors. He wears glasses with large lenses, often without diopters, T-shirts with mysterious inscriptions, high-waisted jeans, vintage dresses, can talk about serious philosophical literature, is not alien to the aesthetics of decadence, drinks affordable wine.

Example: I have a friend - a typical vino.

Lamp- warm, touching, nostalgic.

Example: Yesterday we sat behind garages like a lamp.

Crush(from english crush- hobby, object of adoration) - a person who is madly in love, an object of desire.

Example: You can not hide - I have long understood that he is your crash!

Sasny(from english sassy- impudent, impudent, lively) - very cute, extremely positive, handsome, sexy.

Example: Olya has a bad crash.

Hayter(from english hate- to hate) - a person who openly expresses his hatred, envy, anger towards a person or in general towards everyone.

Example: Every successful blogger has a lot of haters, that's okay.

Hait- to hate, publicly humiliate, insult, discredit.

Example: There are girls in our class who hate me.

Life- the truth of life, life situation.

Example: Well, what did you want, it’s life, when they laugh at you because of such creepy slippers.

In addition to numerous definitions, there is a huge number of verbs in the adolescent vocabulary, and you can often make a mistake when trying to translate at random - as, for example, in the case of the word "yell". Now it means more than just shouting out loud.

Oru, yell- to laugh wildly and joyfully, to fall into hysterics from laughter.

Example: Have you seen this sassy kun? Oru from his last vidos!

Kuhn- not at all about the Maine Coon cat. This Japanese suffix, which is used in Japanese to express friendship with a boy / man, refers to a boy.

Example: What is this coon with purple bangs?

Chan- also a Japanese suffix, used to give the word a diminutive-affectionate shade. Sometimes it is used in the meaning of "girl, girl".

Example: My girlfriend is so chan!

To swing- to be in a state of delight and affection. Although the word is not entirely new, it is now experiencing a second wave of use, associated with going beyond use solely among anime fans.

Example: We repented with Luda-chan!

Trip / trip(from english trip- trip, journey) is a psychedelic, altered state of consciousness, characterized by atypical perception and an intense process of awareness. Such conditions can be caused in various ways, for example, by taking psychoactive substances. The word, which arose in the era of hippies in the last century, is actively used again. Sometimes it is used for its intended purpose - in the sense of traveling, going somewhere.

Example: Yesterday's trip was great.

Byte- completely copy the words or style of another person. Steal ideas from someone and take them for yourself.

Example: Fuck MC knocked a beat off Lil Pump!

Stalker- spy on someone, avoiding personal contact.

Example: I think Dima is stalking me.

Wipe, wipe(from english wipe- erase, sweep) - the original technical and gamer meaning "to destroy the data of any group of characters, to clear the game world from changes, to reset the settings" is now not the only one. This verb means cluttering up a network conversation with a huge amount of unnecessary and meaningless information, spamming with pictures and memes in manual and automatic mode. Just like the verb "ban", it is used outside the network context.

Example: Kolyan, you pulled up the wipe!

Flex(from english flex- bend, bend) - swing, dance to the swinging beat, and also clearly show yourself, your physical capabilities.

Example: Great flex at a Lebanon concert.

There are a huge number of words with unknown, legendary origins, as well as words - abbreviations and abbreviations.

So, rofle- a word based on an English abbreviation, which stands for Rolling on floor laughing- roll on the floor laughing. Accordingly, roflit - laugh wildly, have fun, be in a state of stormy joy. Also, rofl is used in the meaning of "joke, joke".

Example: I swear by his comment.

Diss(from english disrespect- treat dismissively, disrespect) - a rap composition that offends another rapper, or a long emotional statement with the aim of offending, belittling the interlocutor.

Example: Oxy gave a credible diss on Purulent.

OTP- an English abbreviation that stands for One true pairing- the only true pair. A pair of love characters from the same or different works of art of particular importance to the individual and / or fans.

Example: For me, Elsa and Jack are OTP.

And, finally, the mysterious " eshkere"- a word that, apart from the fact that it sounds funny and shouted out without any connection with the situation, has no special meaning. Can, however, be used as a kind of call to action. Its popularizer in Russia is the scandalous lover of Gucci and burgers, the performer Face. It is believed that "eschkere" - a derivative of the expression of the American rapper Lil Pump - esketit which, in turn, came from let’s get it.

It is difficult to say whether it is true or not. It is important to remember that not every word and expression used in adolescence has a clear meaning. And like any other living language, adolescent language changes, transforms and enriches itself.

We wish you in the new year 2018 to find and not lose a common language with your teenagers!

By the way, 2018 in this language will sound like this: 2k18. The “K” in the year number stands for the abbreviation of the prefix kilo, or thousand. Example: 2d17 is coming to an end!
