"juristic" means: legal, juridical, pertaining to the law and jurisprudence.. Register: formal or technical English, standard in its specialist domain (law, medicine, science, finance, etc.).

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.
