I can’t tell if my 15 yo is trying to talk the way I talk or simply making fun of me.

Kids have their own language which is unintelligible to most adults. We all did growing up, but now it seems more pronounced.
And don’t get me started on the whole gender fluid/everyone is a bro thing. It’s weird. Kids are weird. Hopefully they will mature and grow out of it. |

Nonsense. It's just you're now the one who doesn't understand. |

| Plus the thread so far has been about the OP and *their own* me-so-quirky language affectations, not about kids' exclusionary language. |

Exactly. If the phrases are memorable enough for her to repeat to her friends. She’ll probably repeat the same phrases one day to her kids . Teens have a sense of humor. Her friends are laughing because the phrases are quirky and not used in this generation. I don’t think the daughter is being mean spirited. My brothers and I also imitated my dad for laughs but it was in tribute to him /honoring his quirkiness and crazy personality |

My teens make fun of me all the time. When the oldest comes home from college, they positively gang up on me.
I don't mind in the least. They don't mean it in a nasty way. It's affectionate. I poke fun at them too. |
