Swingin' on the flippity-flop with lamestains. I've been seeing a lot of press and posts regarding the supposed addition of 9/11-related terminology to teen slang, and while it may be true that kids (jeez, listen to me now: kids) are calling their messy rooms "Ground Zero" or mean teachers "terrorists," it all reminds me a little too much of the "Lexicon of Grunge" hoax back in 1992.
Back during the salad days of grunge, reporters from across the country were trekking to Seattle looking for tidbits about this hot new scene. When the New York Times printed their story, it included a sidebar featuring grunge slang terms "coming soon to a high school or mall near you." The list included terms like "harshrealm" for bummer, "tom-tom club" for uncool outsiders, and "wack slacks" for old ripped jeans. The terms were provided by a record company worker named Megan Jasper, who apparently made up a list of terms on the spot, which the reporter wrote down and printed them verbatim, Roland Burton Hedley-style. Much hilarity ensued.
I guess I'm just saying that I'm going to wait until I actually overhear these terms being used in a mall or subway car before I spend a lot of time worrying about what it all means.
