"Steps Plus VIII" published by Oxford (page 24) teaches eighth-graders the words 'squad', 'fam', 'fleek', 'fail', and 'swag'. What do you think?
On the one hand, I think there's some merit to it. These words are very popular, and a teenager is likely to find themselves hearing them, especially on the internet. It's good to know these words.
On the other, I'd rather not hear my students say these words. I'm sure most non-teenagers would appreciate not hearing them as well. It's good to know them, but not necessarily good to use them.
