by Rachael Booth Sick! Yolo! Salty! Felicia! Ratchet! If you are a teenager, or have surrounded yourself with teenagers within the past year, you have probably heard a few of these words or even more. Slang has been a very popular teenager dynamic in our culture and many adults want to see it gone. One adult has made an attempt to limit this poor word choice in the workplace and has received a lot of publicity for it. This adult is a Chick-Fil-A manager who is tired of listening to teenager’s slang and has decided to create a list of words that are prohibited from saying while at work. The manager is specifically bothered by the word “bae” and has threatened to take away free employee meals! However, there are some words that the manager allows and some that must be used in the appropriate context if teenagers want to say them. For example, “chill” may be used to describe the lemonade Chick-Fil-A serves but not in other situations. As this incident of the Chick-Fil-A manager continues to trend throughout the media, much attention will be drawn towards Chick-Fil-A. Whether people view this affair as negative publicity, positive publicity, or just flat out funny, the fast food chain is receiving exposure without direct payment, and this is a great example of PR.
