I understand that feeling, and the key is to find a healthy outlet for it. I've discovered embarrassing them by intentionally misusing their slang is hilarious.

Last week I pretended to confuse bussy (I pronounced it "Bus E") for bussin'. When I was informed I was using it wrong I demanded they explain what bussy means.

But bussy is an incredibly useful and versatile addition to the lexicon

Oh it is. It's also a great way to embarrass young adult relatives.
