"jaffry" means: A screen or latticework, generally of bamboo, used for various purposes, such as a fence or a support for climbing plants.. This is a fairly neutral word with no inherent risk attached. There is no real cause for parental concern; it is descriptive vocabulary rather than something dangerous.

"jaffry" means: A screen or latticework, generally of bamboo, used for various purposes, such as a fence or a support for climbing plants.. Register: neutral, standard English, usable in most everyday contexts. Note the regional or dialect label (historical) — usage may sound odd outside that variety. A common non-native mistake is to use the word in the wrong register, or to assume one fixed meaning when it is actually polysemous; always check the surrounding register and the audience before producing it yourself. In formal writing, prefer a neutral synonym or a short descriptive phrase, and use this word only when you have heard or read it being used naturally in a comparable context.

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.
