I had to look this one up

Parent Cafe

<p>So I sent a short text to my son, asking a question. He replies,</p>

<p>“Chea” and I am like… huh? Is that a typo? Did he hit “send” before finishing his reply?</p>

<p>So I think, wait… let’s ask Mr Google.</p>

<ol>
<li> Chea 572 up, 164 down</li>
<li>An affirmative response <========================</li>
<li>An exclamation </li>
<li>An agreeing response <==========================</li>
<li>A greeting </li>
<li>A phrase used when parting with someone</li>
<li>Chea, i can pick you up later. </li>
<li>CHEA!!! </li>
<li>Chea, that is a good movie. </li>
<li>Chea, hows it goin. </li>
<li>I’ll see you tomorrow, chea.</li>
</ol>

<p>sorta like “yeah” with an accent?</p>

<p>Haven’t heard that from my kids yet. Maybe I should surprise them with “chea” the next time they text me a question.</p>

<p>Many of my D’s texts are completely incomprehensible to me.</p>

<p>chyea is common. Never seen it as chea. </p>

<p>But it’s like psh-yeah crammed together and without the “p”. It’s usually sarcastic when said outloud.</p>

<p>I’m one of those weird people that doesn’t use text speech even when texting (usually…). My dad does though. I can’t figure out half of his texts.</p>

<p>D spells it “shyeah.”</p>

<p>Urban dictionary is a parents friend. </p>

<p>When I saw this one “deada…”</p>

<p>had no idea it meant “I’m serious”</p>

<p>I thought it was an insult,</p>
