Slang

Trying to get ready on a time crunch this morning, and my son is all up in my face.  I have been known to "get ghetto", as my friends like to say, when I am irritated, or angry....

My son is grabbing for my phone, wanting to play a game.
Me:Son, you need to back up off my grill for a minute!
Son: (fake laugh) You silly, Mommy.  Not a grill, this a phone!

Too funny.  I do not say a word because I do not even really know how to explain this one.  And I think...how to explain slang...hmmmm, this is going to be an interesting ride for a very smart two year old and his writer mother, who is somewhat obssessed with words and language!
