…there will be an annual piece on the news about the new slang the kids are using. Some embarrassing linguistics expert and an even more embarrassing journalist from Just 17 magazine or similar will come on and explain to the presenters some silly new phrases that some 10 year–old used on a playground once, 18 months ago. The presenters will take this opportunity to come on like High Court judges and profess complete incomprehension. The presenters will then make embarrassing attempts to use slang in the ensuing discussion. The slang they use will sound extremely outdated and cringe–worthy.
