Hey Jeniffer, don't worry about it, it is the kids way of \"cool talk\", I think they also find it funny & amusing but hey we gotta \"catch up\" with them otherwise we will be seen as \"generation gap\" ... so we also better \"act cool\" & be seen as a \"cool dad (or mum)\"

Yes, smart butt! hahahaha ... cannot la, this is not cool. This is rude ...

Sorry ah, Vito. just testing testing to see if i can use their lingo. Like Jennifer, i also find them rather rude. \"Retard\" is not a good sub for slow.

To all: Xin Nian Kuai Le, Wan Shi Ru Yi!!!

This is quite normal students lingo.

Normal??? So rude leh.

yes, I find it rude too.
I discourage my kids from using such words, and try to avoid making a habit of it. there are many other \"cool\" things, rudeness is lame.

Even if their friends were to speak like that, it does not mean our kids have to pick it up just to be in the \"in\" group. Worst thing is for it to become a habit and you see your kids peppering their conversation with all these offensive lingos.

To them, it's normal. But would we accept these if our kids would to use such too (though not ah bengs)? Maybe I think too much. I rather be old fashioned than be cool in this aspect.

I asked my son the same question. Apparently no.

Idiot, retard, lame & stupid are all words in Oxford dictionary cannot compare with Hokkien vulgar words lah. Even though those words are not good to be used on person, they are using it as a joke lah.

I have asked my girl & she said only a small percentage of usually boys used it.
