Do you know your ding from your bling? Your butterz from your crutterz?
In the eyes of a teen, are you ream or radio? Ever wondered what LOL
actually means?

Well, wonder no more. Over-50s group Saga has come to the rescue with an
app that translates hundreds of slang words and phrases used by teens.
So now you’ll actually be able to understand what your children and
grandchildren are on about.

Named ‘Woteva’ (a favourite among the teen species), the app enables
users to search or scroll through a dictionary of 500 words and their
meanings. An audio function speaks aloud many of the words, enunciated
in perfect RP to ease the translation process. Propa bo.

Plus, users can share the app with their frenz (or bluds, if you will)
by texting, emailing or posting their favourite words to Facebook and
Twitter. Although please note, this may cause extreme embarrassment to
your offspring. In their eyes, this would most probably not be nang
(look it up). So, why not humiliate them further and upload your own
words to the app, via the ‘submit an entry’ function?

Download the Woteva app on your iPhone today to find out what makes it
so awesome/radicoli/dark (OK, OK, we’re just showing off). It’s FREE too
so you don’t need to part with any moolah (OK, we’ll stop now).

Our 10 faves
Dissociative Facebook identity disorder - Someone whose Facebook image
and real life image is completely at odds

Geekstress - A female geek. These can be very intimidating to teenage
boys, especially attractive ones

Googleheimer's disease - You know what you want to search for on Google,
but by the time you reach your computer you have completely forgotten
what it was. Who are you again?

Hiberdating - Someone who suddenly drops all their other friends when
they start dating

Hot mess - Someone who is flustered, dishevelled and maybe short of time
but radiates a certain sensuality

Meaty - Good. “That track is meaty, dude.” Seldom applied to vegetarian
dishes, however tasty – teens don't tend to do irony

Powerpuff presentation - A presentation that is full of animation and
fancy graphics but completely devoid of any substance

Premake - The original version of a song that a modern band has remade
or redone. The teen will often doubt the existence of the premake

Screen saver - The blank and sometimes blissful expression that
sometimes comes across a person's face when daydreaming

Woteva - Whatever – a catch-all phrase often signifying reluctant agreement
