Seth Meyers explains what 'Brexit' means in teen slang
First, a note of warning: You should never, ever use any of the teen slang Seth Meyers explains in real life, especially if you are not a teenager. On Tuesday's Late Night, Meyers began his periodic explainer of teen slang with the term "curve," which he accurately defined as "to rebuff an unwanted romantic advance." "Curb," on the other hand, is not a real thing — though like the rest of the expressions Meyers defines and uses in a sentence, it arguably should be. A standout is his teen-slang definition of "Brexit." Look, teens, it may true that Seth Meyers is (technically) old enough to be your father, but you should still start using "Brexit" to describe "leaving a party without thinking about the ramifications of your actions." Watch below to see Meyers use that and other questionable teen slang phrases in everyday, hashtag-heavy conversation. Peter Weber
