At a loss over something ridiculous.

Same here OP. I was just taking with DH yesterday that I’m all set with the freedom of speech infringement by banning this app and others like it entirely.

The boys are more prone to talking like complete idiots. It’s embarrassing for them. Privileged white boys trying to sound like they’re not.

I just tell mine to speak to me normally and I don’t engage when he talks like that. Talk to your friends like that all day I really don’t care.

I'm sorry, OP. Social media like Tik Tok is the worst. I'm thankful my kids didn't take to it (yet) - they're 18 and 13, and are fans of YouTube videos that deal with history, myths, Minecraft, crafting and various other topics. I KNOW, MINECRAFT IS STILL IN THE MIX! But better than the morass that is Tik Tok.

I think you need a Come To Jesus Talk with the 14 year old. They need to be more aware of what to say when.

My guys sound like yours. They can't stand Tik Tok, and still reference Minecraft even in college.

I agree that focusing on teaching context and audience is the key.

You can shock them with this one by using the PP's translation, and ask, "Did you really just tell me that you were going to ....? Do you think that is an appropriate conversation?" When they hear what they said translated into plain language in their mother's voice, it should send a strong and super awkward message.

OP you sound fun. Lighten up and relax. Now that you mention it, an edging session might help you. Look it up.

yes, in my experience this is more of a boy thing and under 15. My son and friends are 17 and Tiktok came out during their middle school years. When it first came out it was used almost entirely by girls and did not have the new vernacular as part of it. So they escaped getting caught up in it and now they're too old for more than a passing word (maybe bruh or rizz?) The good news is that the kids do seem to really age out from finding talking like this appealing.

My teens don’t have TikTok and don’t talk like that. And it costs me nothing.

My guess is her kid has no idea what he's actually saying given that he is saying it or it in front of his mom. I totally agree with PP that repeating this to him in what it really means will be the best way to stop it. Sadly tiktok vids and similar can be gotten to via youtube, instagram, etc.

This line refers to someone sticking out their ass for a charming person. The term “gyatt” or “gyat,” is a shortened version of “god damn.” It was popularized by the Twitch streamer Kai Cenat as an exclamation used when he sees a curvy woman.

clearly you don't have kids, it's not so simple. Especially for the 18 year old. They check into work on their phones, have their metrocards, other important things. I'm not saying TikTok isn't garbage and making their brains rot because I agree. but sadly it is a necessary evil.
