Fluff: Trends/sayings too emabarrassed to ask the meaning?

Nope- for those wondering-there’s a children’s story about how the little Dutch boy stopped water coming out of the hole in the dyke.............😳

When my dd#2 (who is now 24) was in about 5th grade, we were going to entertain clients of my husband's from Denmark at my mom's beach house. In front of my mom and my step-father (super conservative Christian), my dd asks "we're going to have them here? What if they're douchebags?" My step-father almost choked. My daughter had heard the term on the bus and thought it just meant "jerk." Poor kid was so upset that she said it out loud, in front of her grandparents. And, of course, we still make fun of her for it.

Ok, I googled Alabama Hot Pocket. I will never be able to unlearn that term. I’m going to bed now with a large dose of tranquillisers.

I didn’t know any of them and still don’t know the Netflix one. I also don’t know why it would be expected to know something has a double meaning. Why would we think that watching Netflix and chilling would need to be looked up 

I don't have one... but my dear friend who is a very sweet religious lady (dad was a pastor as a second career). Her father used to say the phrase circle jerk (in place of clusterf@ck). She learned it as a kid and just thought it meant a confusing messed up situation. When she announced at a staff meeting of 60 people that a messed up parent night at school was a circle jerk, I about peed myself. The woman has never said a swear word in her life. After the meeting with everyone dropping their jaws on the floor, I pulled her aside and asked what she thought it meant. After school I told her what it was and she was flabbergasted. She called her dad to tell him it meant something different and that he should never say it again. He kind of laughed and apologized and said he did know the meaning he just didn't think anyone would ever repeat it. That story still makes me smile.

I struggle with the way people use lit & litty. Lit is supposed to mean wasted, drunk, stoned, etc, not cool, awesome, etc.

See also litty... it seems they're now using it to mean 'a really cool person,' but that's not what it's supposed to mean! It's supposed to mean a stoner!
