Bear, (checking teen-age slang list as she types), says to all winners . . . Sweet! Most Excellent! Totally Awesome! Way to girl, gals! Way to go, dudes! Hmmm . . . I think the teenage slang list still needs more words that express approval/amazement/appreciation! Ah well! Back to what us older peop...
