    How many of you are down wit da yoots when it comes to slang>

    Peng?
    Wagwan (or something like that)?
    Buff?
    Creps?

    Who understands these words? Does anyone use 'sick' or 'mad' outside of the normal usage?

    Peng is what exactly? Buff sounds good? Creps I believe are shoes or possibly trainers? Wagwan?

    Tell me you don't use 'sick' or 'mad' the way the yoots do, BGS? It would be most unbecoming.

    Peng = attractive, high-quality, generally excellent
    Buff = Attractive, well built, physically toned
    Creps = Shoes and derives from crepe soles, I believe.

    Some of these words aren't as new as people think. So, for instance, describing a car as a 'whip' goes back to the 18th century slang for a coach or carriage. 'Gat' for gun goes back to Gatling guns and was used during the prohibition era. 'Beef' to mean argument goes back to the 19th century.

    Certainly. One must remain fully engaged with changes in the language, lest one become a dinosaur, an irrelevant fossil living on the edges of society. It also helps with grooming children on the internet.

    Having a 19 year-old daughter helps in this regard.

    With the slang, I mean. Not the grooming.
