Understanding the latest slangs your teenagers use is paramount to ensuring their safety and maintaining effective communication. Today, we’ll be discussing a new slang term that has grabbed our attention – ‘Dayger’. Let’s discover what it means, how it’s used and how you can talk to your kids about it.
Dayger - Meaning of the Slang
The term Dayger comes from merging two words - 'daytime' and 'rager'. In slang terminology, it's used to denote a party that takes place during the day. A 'rager' often refers to a wild, exuberant party, and a 'dayger' is precisely that, except it happens in the daytime, rather than night. These parties usually occur during summer breaks or school holidays and are known for open invitations and indulgent use of alcohol and/or drugs.
Use of Dayger - Slang Examples & Cases
To illustrate, here are some examples of how teens might use the term ‘dayger’ in their conversations:
- “It’s a holiday tomorrow. Perfect time for a dayger at Brad’s place.”
- “Are you heading to the dayger after school? I heard it’s going to be epic.”
- “Missed a crazy dayger yesterday. You should’ve been there – it was wild.”
In these instances, the term dayger is used to refer to a day party where excessive partying is likely to occur.
How to Talk About Dayger with Your Child
As parents, seeing ‘dayger’ in your child’s conversations should ring alarm bells. It is crucial to have an open and honest discussion with your child about the potentially harmful consequences of attending events such as daygers. You can use the following prompts during your conversation:
- Discuss your safety rules and the consequences of violating these rules.
- Explore scenarios – ask how they would react if invited to a dayger.
- Consider a secret code – a word or emoji your child can send if they need immediate help.
- Offer alternatives – suggest hosting a supervised party or event with a group of friends.
