ChristyB in TN Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I have 2 in a university. My daughter will think she did poorly on exams but always does great. My son knows when he doesn't do well and he is usually correct. ;) know thyself, I guess? Does your son usually have an accurate picture?

Plucky Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 He did great! Thank you! Where were you 2 hours ago when this brat texted me and didn't return my texts? I've been fretting this whole time. So all you moms need to know that wrecked=aced. :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Wife Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would imagine it's being used in the same sense as "killing" or "nailing" the exam. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all you moms need to know that wrecked=aced. :lol: I teach high school, so I hear this stuff all the time. I make my students translate for me. For example, one student said, "Dr. K, you are beast." I had to ask if that was good or bad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelle in MO Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I was feeling sorry for him regarding the exam because I would've assumed "wrecked" was a bad thing! Whew! Glad it isn't! Kind of like "sick" has a good connotation now. When I tell ds17 we're going to his favorite restaurant and he says, "Sick!" it means he's really excited about it! :001_huh: Can't wait to use "wrecked" on him. I haven't heard him use it yet. I'll have to say something like, "I totally wrecked your favorite dinner tonight!" (Can you tell it's all about food w/him?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'll never forget the time my cousin gave my grandma a little statue of a "cool" granny that said, "World's Baddest Grandma." My grandmother was horrified! She said, "Why would you say that?! What an awful gift!" My aunt was, "No, that's not what it means. It's like saying you're a cool grandma, you know?" She never got it. She was a fuming mess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I'd have not figured that one out. But my teen has only been a teen for a couple of weeks. She doesn't even know the lingo yet. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plucky Posted October 22, 2012 Author Share Posted October 22, 2012 I would imagine it's being used in the same sense as "killing" or "nailing" the exam. :D It is, but since I am so very old I think of wrecked like wrecking a car - a bad thing.

I um hope that is good dear:tongue_smilie: I texted him back saying "How do you know you wrecked it?" I just assumed wrecked meant bombed. He finally told me it meant he blew it away. I need to start asking him to translate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our main form of communication is texting and it leaves a lot to be desired at times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nakia Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 The only reason I knew "wrecked" meant "did a great job" was because I'm a youth leader. The first time one of the kids told me I was "sick" I was baffled. But I'm used to their language now. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
