“Parents either don’t know, don’t care or don’t want to know,” says Arni Stinnissen of the Ontario Provincial Police. “The piece that’s missing in all this is the parents. They haven’t had that talk.”

What the kids are typing

Did Johnny scaffle something from your purse this morning? What if your kid’s robotripping and you totally don’t know? Florida-based Parents on Patrol sells software that monitors online chats and notifies parents if their child uses any “watch words.” Each month, 500 Canadian families sign up to find out if their kids are typing words such as these:

Robotripping: A dissociative state induced by ingesting excessive amounts of dextromethorphan (DXM), or cough syrup, usually Robitussin. Also known for distinct “robo-walk,” a jerky movement caused by the lack of sensory control.

Scaffle: To steal a small or insignificant object, or to steal something that belongs to someone who won’t care upon discovering the object was stolen.

Yesca: Mexican slang for weed.

Skeet: To pull out of a woman during sex and ejaculate on her.

Woolah: A hollowed-out cigar refilled with marijuana and crack.

Splim: Low-quality, “not into it” sex offered in exchange for addictive items ranging from cigarettes to heroin.
