22. Aughhh! My seven year old said that yesterday!
I told him if he wanted to be Kevin Federline, we weren't going to buy him shampoo anymore. He had no idea what I was talking about.

28. LOL, I associate "Yo, dog" more with Randy from "American Idol"
I had to Google Kevin Federline to be reminded that he's Britney's boy-toy.

30. Randy Jackson, one of the judges from the show American Idol
He's the black guy who calls nearly everybody "dog" (or is it spelled "dawg"?).

37. oh please... don't use kid's slang, PLEASE??? Do you have ANY idea how
silly we old farts sound when we say shit like "Bling" or call that nasty rapper "Fitty Cent" when he's actually "Fifty Cent"?

Restrain yourself. Learn what the slang is, but promise us you won't use it, so we can all maintain our dignity!

:D

38. crunk
To crunk is to rock, kickass, be cool

Something can also be 'crunkin'

I think.

40. What does floss mean?
Besides the stuff you use on your teeth, I mean. I heard that the other day, and felt rather out of it.
