  • Well, here's the next one throwing shade.

  • No.

  • One.

  • Teenagers say that well, they actually means that someone has called them out publicly are put them on blast.

  • So if your 13 year old is tired off a teacher calling her out in the class because she didn't do her homework.

  • Is that a thing?

  • It's kind of a question that teenagers asked when they want to confirm if something is actually happening or not, they want to be up to date Well, because they're teenagers.

  • They're super curious.

  • You will hear one of them saying that hurts something about Miley getting back with her eggs.

  • They just got to know something, and they want to confirm it.

  • So is that a thing?

  • That's the way they use it.

  • Well, here's another interesting one, which is fam fam Jam.

  • So basically they're family.

  • You know, the drill is when you can't stay over for the night and you say that Oh, I gotta rush back because I've got dinner plans with my family.

  • Can I get an almond?

  • Now, that's really mean.

  • And it can be really offending if you use this term with adults.
