phrending

combining phrase and trending. when a person makes up a word or phrase and starts saying it, and then as if everyone's mind has been reprogrammed, they all start saying that phrase. eventually, the word gets used so much its cliche.
alot like the person who started epic, lol, and fail.

sophia: " lol, that was an epic fail."
tash: "ik rite, legit that was such a fail."
jina: "can you PLEASE stop saying fail? enough with the phrending, its getting old."

NMP Parenting

Not My Problem Parenting... a style of parenting where parents utilize natural consequences for children regarding their actions. Especially useful in parenting school age children who forget their lunch, forget to wear a coat or had detention because they didn't do their homework.

A very effective parenting style that can result in children taking more ownership of their actions and develops independence and self responsibility.

Teacher to parent: "Mrs. G, your son Eli has forgotten his homework folder three weeks in a row, and now he's going to lose his recess for a week."
Parent: "Sounds good to me. NMP. I did my homework. I have a good job. I get to chit chat with my friends at work at the water cooler. Sorry Eli, next time don't forget your homework folder. Not My Problem. NMP Parenting works!"
Child: "Waaaaa... I want my Mommy to rescue me. Oh well, I hate losing my recess so you know I'm not forgetting my folder EVER again!"

Stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting

Trying hard to fit in with your kids, but failing miserably. Derived from Rocket League when parents play the game with their kids, but can't get their car off the ceiling as heard on What's That Word Podcast.

Teen 1: My mom got her 'mom' jeans out thinking she could fit in with us.

Teen 2: That is some serious stuck-on-the-ceiling parenting.

Jekyll and Hyde Parenting

A style of parenting that provides a full spectrum of emotional and psychological experiences to a child vis-a-vis the parents’ instability and addictions which lays the groundwork for years of in-depth psychotherapies in which the child, throughout their lifespan, has the opportunity to undo the warp and find some semblance of balance and potentially, a sense of a true self.

Yup, at our house it was nose-to-the-grindstone discipline during the week and then Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride when the weekends rolled around; my parents were practicing devotees of Jekyll and Hyde Parenting.

jessi slaughter parenting

when parents are couldn't care less what completely absurd things their children do, and do nothing whatsoever to protect/supervise their children.

at the beach, some little girl about 3 or 4 years old went way too deep into the water and almost drowned, no adults were around to help her, "that's some jessi slaughter parenting right there, someone's just letting their kid drown."

preding

The act of walking around a night club or other social setting and scanning the room for the opposite sex to approach and begin seducing. This behavior is very obvious to others and the body language of the subject looks like that of a wild predator looking around for a viable prey.

That horny old man who is staring at those pre-teens ain't fooling anyone - he's preding.
