Ever hear the new generation talk and think, “Is this English?” Same.
Gen Alpha-Bet! is a slang dictionary with a twist: every entry gets translated six times, once by a teenager from every generation back to the Greatest Generation, and every single one of them gets it immediately. They just don't have the word for it.
Take “aura.” A Gen Alpha kid says: “Stuck the backflip: +1000 aura. Ate pavement: -1000 aura.” Flip back to 1943 and a soda-fountain regular says the exact same thing about a scratched pool shot: “Whole hall groaned in the same half-second, no vote needed.” Same moment. Same crowd, silently keeping score. Zero words in common. That's the whole book, over 180 terms, one feeling, six voices, a hundred years apart, never once explaining the joke.
Because the slang changes. The teenager doesn't.

Wait… what does that mean?
Translated with total confidence by seven eyewitnesses: The Greatest Generation, Silent Generation, Boomers, Gen X, Millennials, Zoomers, and Gen Alpha. Because the slang changes. The teenager doesn't. Same drama. Different words. Each entry includes multiple takes, which means you'll get: one meaning, several interpretations, three eye-rolls, and at least one person who will start saying it immediately.
If confused, please consult the nearest teenager.
