I pride myself in knowing the meaning of the slang that my students use in class. I don't know all of it, but when I hear something that I don't understand, I try to figure it out or ask. Mostly, it's so I can call them out on it, if it's inappropriate.
My main red flag: someone says something that seems out of context and then usually one gender of students starts giggling.
Oy.
An example: "whale tail" is when a girl's specific type of underwear is showing above the waist of her jeans.
Movie of the Day: The Whale and the Squid. (On my list of movies I want to see)
