According to this months issue of Teen Magazine, the lastest slang terms for cool/trendy are:
- Dirkin' (Originating from the pro basketball player Dirk Nowitski, Dallas Mavericks Center. "Damn dude, that shirt is Dirkin'. Where can I get one?")
- Sloppin' ("Did you see that car? That sh*t was Sloppin'! He must be filthy rich!")
- Phish ("Did you see that new movie?" "Yeah, It was so Phish I saw it twice!")

I'm 21 years old and I used to do the same thing with my mum, she'd always say "cool" in a silly way like "kewl". She still does, and everytime it makes my eye twitch but I've given up telling her it's so passe.
It doesn't matter what you say really, it's more the fact your daughter probably believes you're being "try hard", by attempting to use teen slang/code. Even if you did try out something that was really the "latest", it would backfire because then she'd get the impression you're just trying to show off/ being try-hard. DON'T DO THIS :P
You're probably better off just asking your daughter straight off what she would prefer you to say (it was my mum's idea to try this on me). If you are going to attempt the other suggested slangs, just say it totally casually. Mostly us kids dislike our mothers saying stuff like this because they say it in a silly way, or it's inconsistent with how we see our mothers.
Ah wells, don't worry about it too much :P I don't think much of it anymore, it is like a phase that will pass over.

If you are having to ask what the latest phrase is then you must be "out of it". Don't try and sound cool it'll only disturb your daughters even more. Just embarrass them with witterings about how things were great in "your day". Show them some old photos to really put the point across.

I've heard, sick...sweet...pimpin'..... slammin'
I have a 16 y/o and a 13 y/o.....Those are a few words that I hear all the time that refers to everything from clothes, to cars, to anything else that might be "cool" to them....It really doesn't matter what terms "we" as parents, use to try and "be cool" we have to come to the realization that, according to our teens.....we aren't! Hope this helps!

It truly relies upon on your section. i'm from new england, yet even then i in basic terms pay attention "wicked" suggested around Massachusetts. Um. ill, candy, Cool, beneficial, outstanding, bitchin (wager thats no longer sparkling), are all words i take advantage of yet i'm caught interior the ninety's so who is familiar with. Out west (California) i pay attention comletely diverse words, and interior the city its diverse besides. i'm hoping this facilitates slightly.

I know they say something is "book" when its cool but I dont know if this would apply to clothes.
I am only 25 and finding it hard to keep up with the modern slang.
Dreading what I'll be like in 20yr.
