Now, a dictionary that reveals secrets of teen slang

London, Jan 4 : All those puzzled parents struggling to understand their teenage kids’ slang language can now take a breather, for a dictionary has been written to shed light on the strange mumbo-jumbo of teenagers' talk.

The book ‘The A-Z of Teen Talk’ has been written by 13-year-old Lucy van Amerongen for the benefit of an increasingly bewildered adult generation.

The Cheltenham Ladies College student from Box, near Nailsworth, Gloucestershire, compiled a list of 300 words or phrases and their meaning over the course of a year.

The dictionary includes words like - ‘vanilla’, which means boring; ‘jamming’ means hanging around, while to ‘tear’ is to leave quickly, or run away.
