Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The parents are most likely confused by the girls' use of slang, such as "cray" (short for "crazy"). Jargon is technical language used in specific industries or professions, euphemism is a mild or indirect word used in place of one considered to be harsh or blunt, and equivocation is the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or avoid commitment. None of these apply to Ashleigh's story.
