Her favorite class is Spanish, and she is now in her fifth year. She says she has most of her classes in the morn- ing, then at noon she does “One day I would like to record al- bums in a foreign language.” her homework and later works at the studio. Also, in the future she would like to win one or two Grammys and record a “hit” duet with her fa- vorite star, Billy Joel. TOTALLY AWESOME Tubular, Bogus, Great, Narly and Dude, all words widely used in the unique under eighteen group. Teenagers use words without any one particular meaning. “Sure”, could mean “that’s what I’d expect from a ‘geezer’ like you,” “you don’t know what you are talking about,” and last but not least, Teens have “escape” words and great punctua- tion. “Yeah” can mean “great”, but the shortened version of “yeah” doesn’t mean “great” at all.

And of course, we can’t ignore their own style of emphasis by which the meaning of the word is indicated. Tone and pitch as well as the duration of their inflection carries its own special meaning. HEAD).” So, when you start to understand “teen vocab- ulary don’t feel bad when you figure out all these mean “you’ve ruined my life”, because in the teen’s world, this “life” that they speak of, lasts only about 10 minutes. Green? I Green? Blue? Yellow? Red? Decisions! Decisions! Which do I wear with my pink dress? Do 1 dare use the frosted? Do I match my eyes or my dress? Maybelline and other companies provided a new fashion line to make you “Color Coordinated” and glamorous at the sametime. “Show everyone your ‘TRUE COLORS’ with color mascara.” No matter what the occasion, color was in. And parents nev- er really objected unless you looked like two, blue garage doors when you blinked!
