I'm so out-of-the-loop--and missed teaching high school this past summer. So, I'm wondering what are the current catch phrases among the young these days?
If anyone has access to a teenager or young adult (or if you're a teenager or young adult), would you please let us know the state of your language?
Many thanks,
WW from her lace-curtained parlor

Just tonight at dinner my son mentioned a friend not wanting to go to a concert that didn't have a mosh pit. I refused to admit that I don't know what a mosh pit is!
Also, we mamas and papas (can't trust that day...) seem to be 'rents; though that may be out by now.

It's my understanding that a mosh pit is a brutal area of the dance floor where the object is to push, and mash, and toss bodies against each other, not necessarily with regard to the underlying beat of the music...but mebbe?
It would be interesting to understand how the word mosh came to be.
I don't think there has to be an actual pit in order to mosh. I imagine the pit is figurative.
But since I missed every single item on Sparteye's cool list, I may be completely wrong about my understanding of mosh pits.

*I heard about 'em three years ago, easy. And *I'm this old geezer with my only connections to youth through parents I work with. That's how "way".

"Wayer" than that, F. My oldest is 25 and was talking bout mosh pits when he was a freshman in college. If I recall, he even managed to wrench his back in one (not seriously, thank God). Of course, Mom never heard about the incident until well after the ER visit.

What I was saying. Three years ago a nold geezer like me heard it. It's like the first citation in writing or reading about it in Reader's Digest I am Joe's Mouth.
