[Ads-l] situation

[Jonathan Lighter]

2026 _New Yorker_ (May 11) 50: A long denim dress patterned with
embroidered flowers...and a ruffled white polka-dot situation.

In an article called "American Tween," by Anna Weiner. There are examples
of incomprehensible pubescent slang. The culture described is so alien that
I was forced to stop reading.
