According to some media reports – US teenagers are seriously into biting each other [thanks to all things Twilight] and wearing Lady Gaga ‘bug-eye’ contacts [as seen in the Bad Romance music video].

Parents are worried, but teenagers are sharing the love at ‘rainbow parties’, while choking each other high on meth and the fumes from their Hello Kitty nail polish.

We blame Lady Gaga and outcomes based education [OBE] on the stupidity, because according to the Times, the appearance of her eyes in the music video is computer-generated. Somebody please slap them and get them back outside playing with the dog or something like that.

TELEPATHE! COLD CAVE! MEMORY TAPES! PLUS OPEN BAR UNTIL 11PM… WHAT GIVES?

From time to time, we like to bring you, our faithful readers, a little bit of the new slang that Gen Ys are using in their daily lives. To do this we troll the blogosphere, stalk our friends’ Facebook status updates, talk to people on the street, and ask our trend reporters what new slang they’re using and hearing. Here’s a taste of some new vocab that may have otherwise made you go “huh?” upon hearing it:

Shamelust
v. coined by fashion/pop culture blogger White Lightning in a post she wrote for Street Carnage, this word is used to describe being totally disgusted and attracted to someone at the same time.
“Don’t tell anyone, but I’m totally shamelusting for the no-neck guy in the Ed Hardy shirt who offered us body shots off his abs.”

GTL
v. an acronym for the phrase “Gym, Tanning, Laundry,” which is the daily primping ritual popularized by Jersey Shore cast members.
“Dude, if you wanna come off as fresh in the club, you gotta GTL every single day.”

Jam It
v. a retort used to tell someone you do not like what they are telling you; similar to “shut up.”
“Ughhh, we are eating breakfast here, I don’t want to hear what you and your man did in bed last night – jam it, lady!”

Your Team/My Team
n. a phrase used to distinguish someone you have a crush on from someone to whom you would never be attracted. This developed out of a game, most often played at bars or parties, in which players collect “cool”-looking people for their imaginary teams, while filling up their friends’ teams with people they deem unattractive or funny.
“See that blonde lady wearing a leopard print coat, feathers in her hair and a beaded necklace? She’s on my team. See that LARPer wearing guyliner? He’s on your team.”

Unicorn Puncher
n. a term used to describe someone who, in the face of cute overload (whether it be in a blog or conversation), undermines their adorableness with something gross.
“We were all watching that Kittens Inspired By Kittens video, and then this Unicorn Puncher put on a zit-popping video. So gross!”

We already told you how “cosmic” is the word of the moment, but here’s some more slang that’s on the tips of trendsetters’ tongues lately:

Gen Pop
n. term used to describe the general population when “bridge and tunnel,” yuppies, tourists or “undesirable” individuals “intrude” upon an event, outing, club or local restaurant
“Did you see that girl on the dance floor wearing purple Uggs? Wow, the gen pop really takes over this place on Saturdays. Let’s go to a dive bar.”

G.O.M.L.
v. acronym for the phrase “Get on My Level;” said when one person both wants to imply that someone else can’t keep up and wants to urge them to catch up
“C’mon, pot bellies are totally in . G.O.M.L., and order some chili cheese fries.”

Cuddy
n. a word used to describe something shady or sneaky
“He’s still listed as single on Facebook, even though they have been dating for, like, three months. That’s so cuddy!”

Curl
v. a new way to crop your pants without cuffing; best for skinny jeans, curling is when you roll the bottoms of your pant legs very tightly two or three times, creating a delicate cinch above the ankle
“If you wanna show off the studs on your boots, you should curl your jeans.”

Guacamole
n. money, cash, or funds
“If we’re going to that bar, I’m gonna need to stop at the ATM to grab some guacamole for drinks.”

Post-Zuckerberg
adj. term used to describe the era of Facebook ubiquity
“In the Post-Zuckerberg era, I never email anyone, well, except for my gram and when I’m trying to dig my way out of funemployment.”
