For parents

Campbell means: A British breed of domestic duck developed at Uley, in Gloucestershire, England, at the turn of the 20th century.. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than risky behaviour. If your teen uses it, context will usually make the intent clear. A short, curious question about where they heard it is usually all that is needed to know whether to follow up.

For ESL learners

Campbell means: A British breed of domestic duck developed at Uley, in Gloucestershire, England, at the turn of the 20th century.. Register: neutral, standard English. Common learner mistake is using the word in a register it does not fit, or assuming a single global meaning; always check the context before producing it yourself. A formal-English equivalent (a synonym or descriptive phrase) is usually safer in writing. When in doubt, paraphrase rather than reuse the slang form.
