Have you ever felt like you and your teenager are speaking a different language? We hear words like GOAT, awks, TBH, skurt, beef, shook, and boujee and wish we had a pocket translator just to stay with the conversation. What was once ‘ace’ or ‘groovy,’ is now ‘sic’ and ‘lit.’ Spilling the tea, what you …
