For a little while now, the NFL have been running commercials on TV advertising their clothing range with the tagline "The Drip Is in the Details". It certainly makes you feel old when you have no clue what the slogan means in a mainstream TV ad!

Hello dearest father. Would you say that my attire is suitable for this evening's soiree?

Bi-lingual ? (or teenage children
)I remember when I had a teenage daughter, her shouting at me 'YOU'RE THE STRICTEST PARENTS OF ALL MY FRIENDS'
and me replying 'well thank you'
her 'IT WASN'T MEANT TO BE A F***ING COMPLIMENT'
And my favourite amongst my friends, having just moved from Lewes to Chiddingly and his teenage daughter discovering there was no broadband
'SEE I TOLD YOU NOT TO MOVE TO F***ING NARNIA'
Teenagers, don't you love 'em

Yep. And some of us still haven't grown up yet...
Modern terminology is totes amazeballs.
Still....the best reply to unfathomable chat is to compliment the chatter with:
"It would be impossible to underestimate the incredible improvements your generation has made to the Sturm und Drang of contemporary communication".

Although I haven't seen little Miss GB for years, I can imagine her saying that with Mrs GB standing behind and shrugging in a 'me neither' sort of way.Just been asked this by youngest GB (who was grinning in the certain knowledge I wouldn’t know what she was on about).
It marks the first time I’ve been totally at a loss to understand anything in a sentence a young person has said to me, in context.
Has this happened to you yet? If so what was the phrase? I don’t think anything has made me feel quite as out of touch

Just reply "its a bit fixtures" or "were loose" and see how the conversation evolves from there.

That’s exactly how it still works.
Fit is basically taking how we lads used to call top birds, and applying it to outfits. Drip is just a new word for sick etc (I think).
Bi-lingual ? (or teenage children
The latter
I get frequent lessons.
I also love having dogs, but (not wanting this to sound smug, but there's plenty of comments against the idea of having kids) having kids is even better.
Of course, the answer to the question is that unless your daughter's fit includes a beautifully-patinated Barbour in 6oz sylkoil waxed cotton and a pair of Oliver Sweeney boots, it is significantly less drip than it may otherwise have been.Just been asked this by youngest GB (who was grinning in the certain knowledge I wouldn’t know what she was on about).

(Dunno why, but my daughter just asks me for money for Christmas and birthdays, rather than letting me chose clothes for her
)
Far too many times, I really need a Star Trek universal translator
My kids have left home, one is at uni and comes back occasionally, I now have a dog that reminds me of the kids when they were toddlers

I teach at an international school in Singapore and all the (rich, privileged, never even heard of a council estate) kids talk like they're in an episode of Top Boy. Could be a half German/ half Korean kid, doesn't matter. Interesting to watch the influence of British and American slang combining amongst the 'yout'.
Everyone is everyone's 'bruh' whether boy or girl and now it's leng when 5 minutes ago it was peng.
Had a kid say 'Sir, Let me cook' when she was writing something.

The only drip that concerns me these days is the one on my crotch following a careless waggle in the gents.
