Since the start of time, the older generation has often looked at words and phrases used by teenagers and young adults as a wholly separate language.  This seems to be especially true now-a-days in the New York Metro area where a new “urban” dialect has become a part of everyday communication.  Below is a sampling of some of those words and phases.  A special shout-out to my daughter, Halle Grossman, for doing the translation for me.
