LekhoriLekhoriThe language of teenagers.
Research on pubilects throughout the world shows that such terms have a very short lifespan. By comparison with vocabulary change in the language as a whole, which sometimes takes centuries, the rate of change in teen vocabularies is greatly accelerated.
Coined by Italian semiotician Marcel Danesi in 1987, from pubi- (as in pubescent, puberty) + -lect.
