We have dictionaries for everything. Except Teen-to-English. I plan to remedy that. It will be more useful than a Swahili-to-Navajo dictionary, anyway. The main difference between this dictionary and the rag Mr. Webster produces is that I not only include words with translations, but entire phrases! Here's the format:
Teenage Word | Translation thereof |
---|
Prepare to understand teenagers better.
Legit, Tight, Sick, Rad | Generally positive |
---|---|
Weak, Lame, Crap, Gay | Generally negative |
Lyfe | Life |
Hateeeee | Hate |
"Shut up!" | "I disbelieve you." |
"Music is my life." | "I occasionally listen to the All-American Rejects." |
"I like all kinds of music." | "I occasionally listen to the All-American Rejects." |
"I love photography." | "I own a Nikon Coolpix because Ashton Kutcher is attractive." |
"I hate drama." | "I love drama." |
"I am an open person." | "If you say 'gay' in front of me, I will get mad at you." |
"I don't judge people by the color of their skin." | "If you voted for McCain, you're racist." |
"I love poetry." | "I write mediocre poetry, but don't read anyone else's." |
"I love reading." | "I love reading Twilight." |
"I'm waiting for my Romeo to sweep me off my feet." | "I'm antisocial and can't get a date, so I hide on social networking sites. Furthermore, I have never read Shakespeare." |
That concludes the sneak-preview. I don't know why the formatting on the page is so screwed up. Stupid Blogger CSS. I'll end with another shameless advertisement for my photo blog.
Vocabulary, Phrases, and lolz. Ha! Quite "tight".
