Ever wondered what your teenager is actually trying to say?
When they tell you, I'll do it in a minute.
When they insist, Everyone else is allowed.
When they say, I'm fine.
Or when a parent replies with the dreaded, We'll see.
There is usually a little more going on beneath the surface.
Teen Speak Decoded hilariously translates 101 of the phrases teenagers and parents say to each other every day-and reveals what they might really mean.
Inside you'll find brutally honest translations covering:
- Teenagers talking to parents
- Parents talking to teenagers
- Homework and school
- Phones, gaming and social media
- Bedrooms and household chores
- Going out and coming home
- Money, shopping and endless requests for lifts
Each entry includes What They Say, What They Really Mean, and a diplomatic Safe Response to help everyone survive the conversation with their dignity intact.
Perfect for:
- Parents of teenagers
- Mums and dads who need a laugh
- Teenagers with a sense of humour
- Birthday and Christmas gifts
- Mother's Day and Father's Day
- Stocking stuffers
- Family gift exchanges
Funny, relatable and reassuringly familiar, Teen Speak Decoded proves that parents and teenagers may technically speak the same language-they just don't always use the same dictionary.
Decode the words. Survive the eye rolls. And remember: I'll do it in a minute is not a recognised unit of time.
