Concerning word teenage boys are using
Teacher, Mr Lindsay, shared an Instagram Reel about a word that he is hearing more and more in schools among 11-14 year olds and it is not something that you would want your child to say.
The word is ‘huzz’ and tween or teenage boys are using it to describe girls – it may not sound too offensive but it has a very derogatory meaning. ‘I’m just going to give you the definition, and as a parent or teacher, you decide what you’re going to do with it,’ Mr Lindsay said of the word ‘huzz’. ‘Basically, ‘huzz’ is a replacement for hoes.’
The teacher went on to explain: ‘In its most innocent form, meaning it’s a kid that doesn’t really understand what they’re saying, it’s used to reference a group of girls or a group of women, but a lot of kids are aware of the true meaning of the word and where it comes from and what it means.’
A little bit more innocently, some boys are also using ‘huzz’ to describe a girl that they like or that they are going out with. ‘So it could be more innocent in its usage depending on the kid,’ Mr Lindsay added.
And it doesn’t end there
As well as ‘huzz’, boys are also using ‘bruzz’ to speak about their ‘bros’ and ‘gruzz’ to speak about older people ‘because, grandma, grandpa, ‘gruzz.”
‘There’s the information. As a parent or a teacher, you do what you see fit,’ the teacher said.
People took to the comments to share their own thoughts, and what they thought the word meant. ‘In my area, middle school kids are now using “huzz” as a term for a couple who is more than friends, but not boyfriend and girlfriend,’ said one person.
‘Any way you slice it, it is totally disrespectful used in the slang form,’ someone else added.
