JOMO: Don’t confuse JOMO with its FOMO opposite. Often used to describe someone who is trying too hard.

Here are the definitions to some common child slang words so you can fit right in with the kiddos, until these words become overused and uncool tomorrow:īRAH: A term of affection that can be used to describe boys, girls, parents, etc.ĮXTRA: Over the top, but not in a good way. What was once “dope” and “rad” is now “Gucci” and “extra.” And don’t get me started on terms like “bae” or “on fleek”-just when I learned the meanings, they became “so 2018.” Nevertheless, no matter how cool of a parent we think we are, we will never fully master the art of being fluent in the ever-changing world of child slang. So naturally, I consulted with all of the other parents in the drop off line and double checked my findings with Google (apparently, it means the best, on a one to ten rating scale, it is a ten). But more so, I wondered what the heck dime meant!? I told her to have a nice day and she said it would be “dime.” In that moment, I wondered if I was raising a 6-year-old or 16-year-old.

Instead of the usual hug and kiss, she bid goodbye to me with a dab and then threw up the double peace sign. Last week, I dropped my kindergartener off at school.
