Op you need to get with it. Their slang changes quickly.

And its not Hindi based (that made me laugh).

Glaze, mid, rizz, slay, cap, liggy, bruh, drip, fire.

You have failed as a parent apparently.

What 12 year old girl knows who Andrew Tate is? The only way would be her mom
listening on the radio.

Isn’t slay over? The most common one my middle schooler says is “say less”.

No, OP, your daughter is not using a Hindi word. It's beta as in the Greek alphabet beta.

I'm a high school teacher. I have a lot of Indian kids, as well as white and Asian. I hear the way they talk and I ask them about it.

Words like "beta" and "sigma" are popular teenage parlance.

"Beta" is meant as the opposite of an alpha, so someone who is not strong, a leader, etc. Interestingly, "sigma" means that someone is cool.

Op is a beta

And a ton of negative aura.

OP is a beta who will never be sigma. She's cooked.

OP here - she is using it as the Hindi word. She has Indian friends. My concern was it could make her appear racist.

OP here. No idea who Andrew Tate is and she doesn’t listen to podcasts. She has no personal devices.

No she is not using the Greek letter or pronouncing it that way. She is using the Hindi word and she told me it means “child.”

Then she's using her own idiosyncratic made-up slang, because that isn't how the other kids are using it.

Or she's messing with you.

Likely both.

It's weird that teen Indian kids use this word - it's typically something a parent calls their child.

This.
It means weak, wimpy, loser, second place, scrub, tag-a-long, low T, etc.

Yeah. This is weird. My mother in law calls my husband “beta”. She also calls my son (her grandson) “beta” and my daughter “Beti”. It’s basically a form of “honey” when talking to someone a generation below you. Teens may be called beta by adults but I have never heard them refer to each other this way. Maybe there is a new subculture but I know Indian kids ranging from my own (late teens) to my niece and nephews (youngest is 5). None of them use “beta”.

There’s no way a 12 year old girl would be listening to political podcasts. That’s was a ridiculous thing to say.

It sure is. Not sure why it would make you laugh when you clearly don’t speak Hindi.
