BOZO

BOZO

by ·

Hey there, parents! It’s time to talk about the latest slang that’s been bouncing around the playground: BOZO! Now, I know what you’re thinking – isn’t Bozo that old clown from the circus? Well, yes, but when your kids say “Bozo” these days, they’re not talking about the clown. They’re actually using it as an insult!

When your kid calls someone a Bozo, they’re basically saying that they’re acting silly or foolish. It’s like they’re teasing someone for not being smart or cool. And if your kid says “don’t be a Bozo,” they’re telling someone to stop acting goofy and start taking things seriously.

But don’t worry, parents! It’s all in good fun. Just like when we used to call each other “dork” or “nerd” back in the day. It’s just a way for kids to poke fun at each other and make each other laugh. As parents, it’s important for us to stay up to date on the latest slang and trends so we can connect with our kids and understand what they’re talking about. So don’t be a Bozo, parents – keep up with the times and stay cool!

Dr. Chris Spencer, better known as PixelatedDad, is a retro gaming enthusiast and self-proclaimed geek who’s a few pixels short of a full sprite. Despite his age, he’s young at heart, often immersed in games older than his kids, with the reflexes of a sloth and the aim of a blindfolded monkey—but still determined to save the pixelated princess, one clumsy jump at a time. Beyond gaming, Chris is a distinguished computer scientist with a doctorate, a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society (FRAS), and a member of the Sherwood Observatory and the Planetary Society. As a Dark Sky Ambassador, he’s passionate about preserving the natural night sky and reducing light pollution. Chris is also a husband, proud dad of two sets of twins (#TwinsTwice), and a multitasker extraordinaire who balances coding, stargazing, 3D printing, and snuggling his loyal sidekick, Doggo McStuffin. Whether he’s gaming, championing dark skies, or exploring the cosmos, life for Chris is a journey worth every pixel.
