“When my 12-year-old came home from school complaining that his friend had flamed him, I quickly racked my brain for an explanation,” writes Meg St-Esprit. “Flamed could have so many meanings — celebrated him, injured him? Painted his face red? Actually burned him? I was at a loss. My kid rolled his eyes and explained, ‘Mom, it's like roasting. He roasted me, okay?’” And that’s just the beginning of her education in slang. And she was not ready, either. Personally, I learned a lot from this one! Kelly Faircloth, Executive Editor |
