On a recent People's Court TV broadcast, I saw by closed captions a 24-year-old repeating a conversation:

"I was like ya know who're you to diss me, and she's all like she's I mean so glitter and we're like so gutter what crap ya know." Ha ha ha, the judge had to stop and ask for a translation.
That kind of conversations drives me up the wall! The judge is not the only one who would like a translation.

Also it's no wonder why young people question themselves of why they can't get pass the first interview for a job!
