As long as we're discussing teen lingo in another thread, what is your understanding of how teens are using the following terms today: "pimp", "ho", and the oh-so-delightful "douche bag"? They apparently don't have quite the same meanings as they did back in the old days.

I agree about how jarring it can be. I still don't like some of the way words are changing and are used, but I guess my parents had a problem with words like cool, neat, hip, high and then we went on to bad meaning good and so forth.
Things change and times change and sometimes I just can't keep up no less like how it is changing.
I remember a time when on the Dick VanDyke show Rob and Laura had separate beds and no one would think of uttering any thing worse than "oh gosh!" Now everybody is sleeping with everybody and swearing is pretty common and it gets to be more and more common and more words all the time. Like I said things change and I don't always like them.
