I'm driving my boys (11 and 9) for back-to-school shopping, feeling pretty hip because I just used “salty” in a sentence correctly. Suddenly, my 11-year-old turns to me and says, “That's so mid, bruh.” Mid? Did he just call me average? Is this a compliment? An insult? Do I need to turn this car around? 😅

Welcome to the perplexing world of Gen Alpha slang, where we Boomers (aka Gen X and Millennials) are constantly playing catch-up. Just when I thought I had mastered the art of understanding my kids, they’ve gone and invented a whole new slew of words.
