How to play

  2. Take turns. Type (or say) something and hit SEND.
  3. Every message is decoded for the other player and read out loud: a robot voice for the parent, a sassier voice for the kid.
  4. Pass the phone. Reply. Repeat. Stuck? Tap IDEA for a conversation starter.

⚡ Quick Decode

No time for games. Paste or say what they said and get it back in plain words, with a (sarcastic) explanation of every slang word. Works both ways: kid to parent and parent to kid.

📖 The Slang-o-pedia

150+ kid slang words and parent classics, each with a plain meaning and a roast, sorted by generation. Updated regularly, because kids invent new words roughly every eleven minutes.

Private by design

No accounts. No ads. No tracking. No data collected. Voice recognition and read-aloud run on your iPhone, so nothing you decode ever leaves your phone. Privacy policy · Help & support
