Hi All!
I am writing a fanfic and I ran into a bit of a problem with the dialogue. One of the characters is a preteen and I just can't seem to get the voice right. I need to add new language to make it sound right. So, if anyone has information on "new words" from the past 2-3 years let me know!
New language can be slang, word blends (like Gwen Patrow's "frenemy"), new made up words that are being used in schools, acronyms (like *.I.T.C.H which stands for beauty in total control of herself), or even compounds. Something that is convincing for a preteen to know and use. I need a few of these, just to make the child sound right.
Thank you in advance for your help!
