Katrina: wasted, plastered, smashed, hammered, and messed up (very intoxicated). "gay" i.e. "that's gay" "he's acting gay" "so freakin gay" etc - it basically means stupid or annoying or not fair depending on the context.
Gina: "Hooking Up" : is basically like someone you're not "dating" or "seeing" and doing anything more than kissing (at a party or whatever!) "Seeing Somebody": is when you meet somebody and you go on a few dates to get to know each other- basically "pre-dating" "Dating": comes after "seeing each other".. after a few dates you "officially ask somebody out.
Katrina's informants comment on Gina's: no values82 (9:25:22 PM): yeh but hookin up is like anything just makin out is hookin up Volcomskater124 (9:28:23 PM): Yah that sounds right but we dont say 'seeing sombody' really mobgrip98 (9:32:44 PM): yeah a lot of ppl hook up or the girl thinks its more but its not.
Gina Marie: ton of (online) abbreviations instead of actual phrases. examples: "lol" = laughing out loud "lmao" = laughing my ass off
Toni: bounce-to leave wifey-best girl friend for a girl boo-boy/girlfriend
Kathy: in addition to katrina's comment, my one informant uses the word "fag" a lot to describe people he doesn't like (which makes me cringe) also the purposeful misspelling of certain words like 'skool', 'kool', and probably others I can't think of
Brittany: OMG! OMG- Oh My God Retarded- that's/you're stupid Chillin'/coolin'- hanging out Smash- to have sex with Hit it and quit it- one-night stand Tap that- have sex with Trashed- drunk F***ed up- drunk/high Wifey- girlfriend Wife her- Marry her Knocked up- pregnant Peeps- your friends Off the hook/chain; that's what's up; that's hot; that's the shit- that's awesome You wildin'/buggin'- you're crazy What's good?- What's new?

Kelly: "Snapping" means being proud of something accomplished, ex. I was snapping at my B-game (Ball game) "Styling" means lying. This one really gets me because the slang term styling in the 70's-80's meant that you thought you were dressed nice. I guess that's why the meaning changed after looking at how we dressed. lol "Burnt Out" means screwing up your life, making a bad choice/decision "I'm Out" leaving "WHATEVER" anything absence of actual problem solving or communication: to detach
Laurie: Beast: Cool/awesome/etc.
Gina Marie:My informants say that this isn't "teen speak" -it's their own way of communicating with each other, but not other peers. (they're kind of like a family)
-chillax : chill/calm down, relax -peace : goodbye -I'm gonna pee myself : I need to use the bathroom -back it up : get off of me -excuse you! : you're being ignorant -Hola instead of hello -more instant message/text language used in actual conversation : OMG, j/k(just kidding), ROFL(rolling on the floor laughing)
Lauren sent this and I'm assuming they all mean "drunk" or "out of it": crunk,tipsy,hammered, retarded, destroyed, shit faced,messed up, and sloppy jo
Sarah: Rockin- Wearing and looking good wearing something "Rocking the red dress"
Wifey to my gay female informant is her girlfriend. "Me and the wifey went to the mall"
