[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]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. [/quote] OP: next time your daughter utters it, just say: no, I am a sigma. [/quote]
