I'm writing a kids' book and my children tell me my kids' expressions are out of date - apparently kids these days don't say 'holy cow', 'wow', 'cool', 'darn', 'rats' to express amazement, being impressed, annoyance, etc.

What do 10-15 year olds say these days? Can you give at least three examples of tweenie/teenie slang that express various emotions? Please include the current saying and what it actually means!

i know right = agree with something

omg = oh my goodness or oh my gosh

ugh, grr, garh, etc. = annoyance

dang = amazement, after like you make a mistake or something

wow and cool are still used sometimes but not really holy cow, darn, or rats.(:

sorry i can't think of anymore right now. XD
