Brick

Did you notice that every generation has its own slang? Especially the teenagers. My teenager taught me this:
"It's mad brick out here!"
"What does that mean?"
"Mom, it means it is very cold outside. BRICK means cold."
When I was a teenager, the word "brick" meant a solid rectangular material used in making sidewalks or building houses. It also meant a female who had a thick, curvy shape. It also meant a missed shot in basketball, I think, and a threat/weapon as in "...upside your head".
I wonder what "brick" will mean twenty years from now?

TTYS,
Sylvia
