Gay men often seek out diamonds, and some purchases are “bling bling,” according to Jillian Rebol, the manager of Ultra Diamonds (soon to be Kay Jeweler’s) in Chicago.
Bling bling means: Shiny jewelry that displays wealth, such as a diamond ring or a stylish gold necklace or bracelet.. It is informal slang, fine in casual speech but not suited to formal contexts. 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.
Slang is read by different audiences for very different reasons. The For parents view re-explains the term in plain, non-judgemental language so a caregiver can understand what their child means without needing the surrounding subculture. The For English learners view focuses on register (when it's safe to use), formal alternatives, and common mistakes — what a textbook won't teach you.
