I never understood slang as a kid but I'm finally starting to figure it out. By the time my kids are teenagers, I'll be a pro. They won't be able to hide anything from me.

A few more years, and I'll finally become cool. Hehe, yes, just a few more years...

I'm a school bus driver and my kids act like their slang is some kind of secret language that I can't possibly understand. They apparently aren't aware that google is a thing.

Just say the words they do. Nothing will make something uncool faster than a parent adopting it.
