Jugendsprache
I've recently got a book for "Jugendsprache" and the examples inside, some sound weird. the book doesn't say anything abt how practical the entries are. so I'm stuck a bit that how is the sprache in Deutschland for youngsters?

I write a few entries to give u a better idea:

- Aspirin-Fee: Krankenschwester
as nurse

- Atze: Kumpel
as pal, buddy

- Blitz ! Ach echt?

Answer

I think Jugendsprache is often a very local phenomenon, the expressions teenagers use in Berlin are different from the ones they use in München. They also change quickly, so by the time someone collects them as a book, most of them will be outdated.

It's more like a fashion; someone comes up with a witty expression and then his friends and the friends of his friends start to use it, too. Sometimes the usage becomes widespread, sometimes it's quickly forgotten.

As a foreigner, don't try to use them. :-) Chances are good that you will make look yourself silly.

Answer

These expressions are damn ridiculous. Believe me, no one would say this. These books are totally wrong.
