Collabbing - It's What's Up in Government Provision of Services

From my day job, something that has a lot to do with what's swirling around Pepper Pike and the communities adjacent to ours.  Read the whole thing here, but here's a teaser:

Over the weekend, I came home from a few hours out with a friend to find my middle-school son transferring files and installing programs from his fairly puny and old laptop to my college-bound son's more powerful and newer one. Curious as to how the former presumably conned the latter into this arrangement, I asked. And the response warmed my kumbaya-loving heart.

"We collabbed." Pronounced like, "co-labbed" like the nickname for laboratory, lab, and short for collaboration.

Now where on Earth did a 12 year old get such language to even describe what he'd done!?

Ah, Jill, we're 20th century people living in the 21st century. We used words like 'groovy' and 'outasite' with a straight face. Anyway, what does 'meh' mean?

Thanks, Jay! And of course it is a 12 year old letting me know what the 21st century sounds like. :)
