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.
