When the time comes for you to finally grow up and speak like an adult, this guide will be there to help you translate your everyday slang phrases to gorgeous examples of proper speech with ease.
Unfortunately we all have to grow up sometime and leave our college vocabularies behind — far, far behind. We mean trap that trashy vernacular in an iron chest under lock and key, and bury it in the sand at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean. It’s time.
To help you transition from the saggy, parting-at-the-seams, barely English vocabulary of your youthful days, we’ve prepared a quick guide to serve as a linguistic deity for your proper adult speech. Enjoy and learn.
