hamstergirl... you are NOT alone.

I very often feel EXACTLY the same way... I have often in the past and it still happens now.

Its one of those kinds of embarrasment that we never want to admit or talk about... and because of that it makes us feel as if we are the only ones in the world who sometimes don't "get it." But that is far from the truth.

There is LOTS of slang out there and no one is going to get all of it or be comfortable with all of it. People who hang out with friends who use the same slang form "cliques" of people who are comfortable using that particular slang because they know their friends understand it... and to us or others that just reinforces the idea that "everyone else gets it" when that is not true.
