Three Ways The Internet Has Revolutionized The Education Experience & Improved The Way We Learn. Online colleges, cloud collaboration & educational games.

Let me bring you up to speed with slang words the kids are using now.
1. Snack...no this is not lunch or food this reference someone being cute
e.g Did you see Josh since we got back from winter break? He's a straight snack!
2. Ugly...say what? This can be used in the place of silly,funny or being extra
e.g. Omg that's hilarious, you ugly!
3. Finesse...the art of being a playa or being played
e.g. Mike tried to finesse Kelli to go with him to spring dance but he's with Tara.
