What Would A 13 Year Old Girl Say?

[gordo12]

NOT a sex story, it's a modern-day Western. There's a 13-year-old girl in it and I have her saying "Cool" all the time. I realized I have no idea what current language expression kids use, and no one to ask.

Is there anyone with a kid around that age you could ask? As in that's cool. (old fart talk)
A few alternatives would be good too. She has a few dialogue pieces in the story.

Thanks!

A young lady in my neighbourhood keeps saying 'Noice!' or 'That's tight!' when she means cool. She also says 'yeet' a lot.

It's hard sometimes to not want to hire another girl her age to kick the snot out of her for saying it...

I've tried to kill the children in Skyrim. We all have.

Don't worry, folks, you're perfectly normal...

My kids say poggers alot, and epic, and awesome.

 

[MrPixel]

I was doing a little teaching (individual music lessons) at our local junior high, pre-pandemic. I recall 'epic' to be almost exclusive to the boys. 'Awesome' was both genders, but given that the guys used 'epic', too, fading memory does recall it was predominately the girls. I do remember one of the girls overusing it.

BH, never heard any of those. Might be a regional thing.

"Poggers" may be very recent; certainly new to me. Search for it revealed some association with an offensive meme.

Our 14 year-old niece says 'Kewel' all the time, which is really annoying, but I'm not allowed to slap her. 'Groovy' is another one that makes me grate my teeth, and the new favorite, 'Yeet', and literally every single one of her friends is 'the OG'. Really f*cking annoying; I try and avoid conversations with her, because I want to reach out and belt her one...

The problem with writing about what teenagers say is that it is a local subculture that doesn't translate. On an International site like Literotica, without a glossary, you could confuse many readers.

My grandchildren, two in a coastal town and one in London, have to speak standard English to each other because their local contemporaries' slang is meaningless to each other.

The London grandchild has many words and expressions from Japanese. The coastal ones have historic Kentish words and sayings that might have been recognised one hundred years ago.

 

[Kumquatqueen]

Found one to ask what they say when not 'cool'.
Apart from 'cool' and 'kewl', I got 'hot as' or 'hot as me', 'magic', 'awesome', and various words I suspect aren't understood outside multicultural urban London. I'm reliably informed 'nang' has made a comeback and 'peng' never went away...
'Cool beans' may be used ironically, copied from parents.

Kid refuses to provide any more assistance unless paid for it or gets a copy of the book.

 

[SimonDoom]

If you want to give your western a surf vibe you could have her say "tubular."

 

[ChloeTzang]

Lit. AS in, "that party was really lit."

Gucci. "That's really gucci..."

Yeet is really common, but more of an excited exclamation.

Awesome!

 

[TadOverdon]

"Cool" is not characteristic of kids. "Cool" is a generic adjective that's part of the English language now. Everyone says it.

(Not literally everyone. Someone will object to that. Someone else will object with a little pedantic gatekeeping.)

"Awesome" seems to be going the same direction, as it's applied to everything and it appears to be hanging around for a long time.

Yes, that's annoying. But I'm cool with it.

 

[gordo12]

God, my head is spinning. I'm with BH let's just shoot the little fuckers and be done with it!

But thanks all. You've given me a lot to work with. Maybe I ought to morph her up to a 50year-old woman so she'll know how to speak properly. That would be "cool."

At the Author's Hangout, Ask, and ye shall receive -- more than you asked for and often weirder than you wanted.

I don't think we'd want it any other way....

If it's a reaction 'Weeoo' 'get out' 'melt that'
a statement 'sweet' 'witched' 'peach' 'bossed'
agreement 'hep' 'cush' 'mint' 'cool bananas' 'lush' 'tight'

Ok, that helped. I was wondering about the definitions and what they represented. I mean, something that meant he's ugly and I don't want to talk to him wouldn't be a "cool" expression for something good.

 

[RejectReality]

Memes are your friend. Start scrolling, look up any word you can't figure out the context for, and absorb it. Memes are the language now.

I'd say watch Tick Tocks, but nobody deserves that torment. Go with the light version such as YouTube compilations. Not as comprehensive, but much more tolerable. "Try not to laugh", "People dying inside", and fail videos. More help than you might expect from cat videos as well.

Works well enough to shock the whippersnappers at work when I get the references. Unfortunately, that doesn't work both ways, which I'm trying to correct by loaning out my spare copies of Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs.

Oh and good is still sick... I think 13yr olds are still saying that because they're not old enough to know better

^ This. I just asked my teenage daughter, and she assures me kids say "cool" or "sick." She says "kewl" is already out. Gaming kids often say "gg" while they're playing, particularly at the end of a team win in games like Overwatch. We live in the western US, but most teenagers these days are online with friends from all over the country and the world, so new slang terms can quickly enter their vocabulary.

Most obscure terms will meet with frowns and disapproving shakes of the head, as peers wordlessly let them know, "Dude, you're trying too hard. Not cool." There are always a few that use "Sweet!" and "Cool beans!" but those wind up being more like catch-phrases for those kids.

Yeet!

nowadays

I think "Gucci" is on the way out.

I have three daughters, bracketing your age range. They say.

"Pretty sweet"
"cool-cool"
"Noice!"
"Sick!"
"Dope"

and they say "word" when you give information or express an opinion.

"Groovy" must be making a comeback, because the first time around it sounded dated by about 1970. When the song "Do You Believe in Magic?" (The Lovin' Spoonful) was released in 1965, it was still current. ("And it's magic if the music is groovy.")

And Simon and Garfunkel's "59th Street Bridge Song" was released the following year. ("Looking for fun and feeling groovy.")

Thanks!

The website Urban Dictionary has a huge number of slang words and phrases. However, I think some entries may have been made up by the users, and thus I can't guarantee the site's reliability. Two samples: "Farm Emo" supposedly means country music, while "Green and Brown m&m" means a lesbian. I would guess that those are either fakes or certainly very obscure.

I admire the backbone to demand money! Whether or not it gets turned into a book vs a story depends on how far it goes.

Thank you all. My first choice was cool-cool cause I knew how to spell it. But I'll be using a few of the others.
