Over 50s group translates ‘teen’ words
Over-50s group Saga has launched an iPhone application that translates hundreds of slang words and phrases used by teenagers.
Named ‘Woteva’ the app enables users to search or scroll through a dictionary of 500 words and their meanings – and they can add their own.
Some of the Saga favourites are:
Hiberdating – Someone who suddenly drops all their other friends when they start dating.
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.
Woteva – Whatever – a catch-all phrase often signifying reluctant agreement
