Talking

I need somone to clarify this new term in the relationship world: Talking.  For those of you who don't know, this is the new way to say that you're into someone in the high school world.

For example, "Hey Barbie! Are you and Ken together?" "No, we're just talking." OR "Did you hear? Barbie and Ken are TALKING!"

This use of the word is not only idiotic, in the sense that everyone talks to everyone unless they are incapable of doing so, but it's also contagious! Everyone is using it.  How am I supposed to know when they mean they're talking to someone in the relationship sense or if they're literally just talking to them like im talking to you right now?!

That is the question of the year, folks. <3
