What the heck is a lag?

I am not only amazed at the speed in which pre-teens can speak, but my ability to think I understand what they are saying…and being way off base.

Driving down the street with our fast talking 12 year old when we came to a stop light. As we were waiting, a young woman began crossing the crosswalk with her dog. All of the sudden, Megan spits out, “Dang…She has a GREAT lag!” I quickly look at the woman. I looked right at her ass, thinking that a lag was her rear. Then I realized who was in the back seat and concentrated on the woman’s walk…thinking a lag might be a kind of strut…like the old school ‘pimp walk.’

Not seeing anything special…(though I did take another sneak peak at her ass) I turned to look over my shoulder and asked, “What the heck is a lag?”

Megan laughed and faster than I could tune my ears, recited, “ I didn’t say lag…I said lag! L as in Larry, A as in Army, B as in Boob!”

I, trying to control my laughter turned and (tried to) sternly say, “Megan…B as in Boob? What about Bob…or Beach?”

After the clarification…I did realize that the woman was walking an very cute Black Lab.

Damn….I nee to keep up.

Wow. I was already wondering if I, myself, had great "L-A-G".

Nope. No Lab here.

But I DO have a nice ass, and I strut quite well.

I prefer the speed-talking to the mumbles.

Ha! what a great story. The part I liked best about the whole story is that you - dad - were doing the driving somewhere! The story is super cute too - but, that is just where I am at right now....

Funny story! Parents are so suspicious.

Really funny that the first place you look on that lady was her ass..lol. My kids made fun of me all.the.time when I try to keep up with their slang and then add that to their Hawaiian pidgin, I might as well be on another planet.

Great post btw!

Oh I can so relate to that! I always thought I was a pretty hip mom but - keeping up is hard work.

Damn. I was curious wtf a lag might be, lol. Lab makes more sense though. Black Labs are one of my fave dogs too.

I, sadly, do not have a great lag, but I do have a lab. So I guess that's good.

haha! as for the "b as in boob" statement, all i have to say is -- like father, like daughter! :P maybe next time you have some alone time with her you can help her enunciate her b's. hehe although i'm a huge fan of the controversial belief that people should pronounce things however the fuck they want, so take that as optional counsel. :P
