Emphasis Preaching Journal

I like to listen to how teenagers talk, though I admit that sometimes I really don't understand what they are saying. They have their own dialect or lingo. In fact, I think it's a kind of a code probably because they know that nosy adults -- like me -- are listening. Take these for example. See if you can figure them out:

"Why is Brandon 'cheezin'?" (that means "smiling" -- don't ask me why)

"Maybe we should 'chop it up' with him." (that means "talk about it")

"Okay. But do you have his 'digits'?" (that means his telephone number)
