Keanu, good to see you on here! Thank your dad for letting you edu-ma-cate us. ;)

I'm not around kids, teens or anywhere I could learn about these unless they're used in a song on the radio, but I don't listen to the radio much, so I'm frequently "pedestrian" when it comes to the latest slang. It's fun to read these!

Noted in last conversation with own 20-somethings:

"tight".....that's good

"off the hook".....that's good too.

"hook you up".....take care of you, get you something, connected to something, something to something

Keanu -howdy! (old guy talk for hello)

When my son is talking to his friends, it's a "dude" fest.

"Whoa, dude......dude!......yeah, dude......that's tight dude!......duuuuuude...!...." :biglaugh:
