  3. roglie
    This word comes from the English acronym ROFL - rolling on the floor laughing (literally "rolling on the floor with laughter"). Now, “rofle” means “laughing loudly” or “joking at someone,” and “rofle” is an insanely funny joke or story.
  4. Inscription

These words are not bad, although they are often very annoying. It is not necessary to forbid the child to use them, because this is part of his personality, besides, in a teenager such a ban will cause only retaliatory aggression. All you can do is give your child a good taste from childhood. Good books, music and movies will do their job.

Recently, we made a wonderful selection of the best modern books that must be read. Everyone can find something for themselves and increase their vocabulary.

The best example for a child is his parents. But adults also often sin by using words that sound terrible. Earlier we talked about the most common mistakes in speech, which need to be urgently eliminated.
