Did your parents ever misunderstand todays slang?

Yesterday at the dinner table my dad said to my sister "wow, you actually finished all of your food :o" then my sister said "yolo" then my dad replied "green" thinking she said yellow XD my dad and mom always misunderstand slang used today, but in my household we dont use that much slang anyways...did something similar to this ever happen to you? (my dad uses slang from 2003 and stuff thinking its still popular with us "youngens" lol like "phat" and what not)

Yep both of them do. My dad uses 1970's and 80's slang and he isn't up to date. My mom pretty much does the same thing. But misunderstanding slang isn't the only thing they misunderstand, they misunderstand alot of things.

Oh meh gawd! My mom and dad usually blend in but not "quite" up to date, like my mom and dad try to act cool in front of my friends by saying slang from the 2000's and said my friend was "Phat" and she just looked like this "._." it was quite funny XD but my parents are getting used to things tode

My dad does most of the time. I don't remember if my mom did or not. It's funny though! Usually when they don't understand and stop to ask what it means it helps. e_e

I tried to explain my mom the meaning of "troll". Now everytime she sees someone, she says it.

I try to keep my language as if it came straight out of a literary book around my parents now.

Same reason I always turn off my music whenever my mom is near. When the lyrics will go; "tonight, tonight, there's a party on the rooftop on top of the world" she'll go "tonight, tonight, dadadadada pop on the girl" really off key and then the entire song is ruined for me.

God, why can't parents just stop trying to be not old?! xD

if your sister said "yolo" at the dinner table I think your family needs to re-evaluate themselves.

My sister said it because she BARELY finishes her food >_> i found it to offence that you would actually blame my whole family off of that one time my sister said yolo. Seriously, maybe YOU should re-evaluate yourself

I'm sorry but if you say "yolo" it's expected that you're worshipping the Kardashians and degrading rap music
