I must be getting old. All these new words kids are using nowadays, and I have no clue when they mean. I still use slang words. I use "down" when I ask someone if they agree with me. “Don't trip" is used to tell someone not to get upset. “Late" and "peace" means goodbye. Of course I use the common ones such as "cool" and "bad." The Boston Globe did a story on the current nature of slang. With it came a list of some current slang, most of which I’ve never heard of. I'll admit, some of them are quite funny, and even I am thinking about using them in daily conversations.
