Teens have ALWAYS used their own slang. Look here for examples of 60's Slang.Humans like to belong to the "in" group - and teens especially do. Knowing and using these words mark you as one of the group. Teen slang sometimes becomes accepted vocabulary for the general population and sometimes it just fades away.

Why Do People Say YOLO So Much?
As you can tell from my username and picture, I LOVE Drake. I heard The Motto before it was on the radio. I'd say YOLO before everyone started too (I hope I don't sound like a hipster...) and it make since, like "do i really want to go up and finally talked to the guy im interested in. Well i dont want to regret never doing it. Yolo." but these days, every other word you hear is YOLO. Like "Just ordered some Chinese food YOLO" like wtf? Like nah, I thought I lived 9 times like a freakin cat. Did you really need to include that when you told me you ordered some Kung Pao chicken? I dont even care that you ordered Chinese in the first place. And people use YOLO as an excuse to do some stupid sh*t like " I just f***ked my best friends boyfriend then robbed her house. Oh well, YOLO" like yeah, you only live once, but that one life you live is gonna be messed the f*** up. I mean YOLO can be funny like I heard something and it was supposed it be Anne Frank tweeting during the Holocaust and the tweet said "Walking outside #YOLO" you have to admit, that's funny. But every word that comes out yo mothaf***in mouth doesn't have to be "YOLO" cuz most of the time, you just sound like a f***in idiot. So please, why do people say it so much? Cuz Drake said it? No, actually Tyrese Gibson said it in the movie Fast Five? So please...tell me Sorry for the ranting....
My younger sister lost her virginity... She's 13...?
Earlier today I found out through her "swag friend group" that she lost her virginity to a guy (also 13). When I confronted her, she told me she did it because "it's cool and YOLO" and walked out... Me and my girlfriend are f*cking furious. What should I do? My mom and step dad are on vacation for a month and I don't particularly want to ruin it for them
My friend keeps repeating himself?
He doesn't have any disabilities other mental disabilities besides the fact that he's a very very anxious person. He's a really shy anxious kid in real life. But when he's on skype playing video games. He would say YOLO, swag, GG, *****, nlgg3r and WP ALOT. GG means good game, Wp means well played. and you guys already know what yolo is. It's starting to get on my nerves, and it's hard to avoid him since he's in my circle of friends.
Can I say the N word?
I'm not white but i'm not sure what race(s) I am. I'm not black though because my skin is pale but can get tan, black people have brown skin, although there are black people with pale skin who consider themselves "black" which doesn't make sense to my friend, so I had to explain it to him. So anyway, I want to know if I can say the N word. My skin clearly doesn't have dominant black color, even though everyone is 99% the same my skin does not show black (although i'm sure everyone has some some of every race in them). I just don't want to be singing a song or rapping and say the N word if a black person will get mad at me. I hate how black people try to claim rights towards words. We can't say the N word? Wasn't the word invented by non-blacks to insult blacks? I feel everyone has a right to say anything, and frankly, black people need to understand that the N word is not racist, it means "friend". Stop looking down on a group of white people, thinking they're inferior and can't "use your word". I'll go up to you in the face and utter the N word and see what you do. I'm tired of this anti-racist racism, where in an attempt to attack a racist YOU BECOME RACIST YOURSELF. Black people CAN be racist, they are if they get mad when I say the N word. Sometimes, black people are illogical. They are irrational vapid morons. Unless you're black and can sit calmly when I repeat the words to a song. Why should I have to be scared of saying a word, because some oppressive black person beats my ***?
Is it true that SWAG actually means "Secretly We Are Gay" ?
I see those retards in school, town, bus, supermarker, hospital, on tumblr, facebook, myspace...every ******* website and place on earth. And they keep wearing (not sure for pants tho') shity clothes and saying "swaag biatch" ...I mean - WTF!? My friend went from damn Emo to freaking SWAG few months ago. He keeps acting like a retard and every second word is "swag" for no reason. And when I ask him dooes he even know what does it mean - "No and I don' care, swaag!" *facepalm* .. This sounds wrong, but I seriously want that wrist-cutter back no matter what. And if it really means "secretly gay" then I'm seriously gonna make it stop cuz he's being an annoying little **** with bad grammer.
