Beige Flag
Teen slang, explained for parents.
What it means
A neutral, slightly weird trait in a friend or partner that is not concerning but is funny or odd. Sits between green flag (good sign) and red flag (warning). "He alphabetizes his socks, total beige flag." Mostly used in light dating and friendship conversations.
How to bring it up with your kid
"What beige flags do I have?" If you can take that one with humor you have earned more trust than most parents ever do. They will tell you and you will laugh.
