Judy, if your teenagers are only drinking tea (even if it is really just 
sugar solution)
be very very happy . . .

I have a 17 year old son and a 14 year old son - they only run as far as 
beer (as far
as "Daddy" knows, hmpf); but I have parents of kids I teach who are 
worried sick
about their older brothers and sisters who are smoking, drinking and so 
on just
about everything middle-aged types like Thee and Me can imagine + a 
whole lot
more.

"1. Jank.

adj- broken; unnecessarily redundant, superfluous, or meaningless;
stupid or ridiculously moronic; bootleg or of questionable quality

Fuck! This CD player I bought off Ebay is jank. "

Err . . . that just sounds like 'junk' with a changed vowel. Tells you
everything about the 'Yoof' of today - they cannot even think up
a few new words!
