Snowed
Teen slang, explained for parents.
What it means
Being deceived, played, or talked into something by someone smoother than you. "He got snowed by that girl." Mostly used in relationship and dating contexts. Worth knowing because it can describe being manipulated, which sometimes happens online before parents are aware.
How to bring it up with your kid
"Have you ever felt like someone was trying to snow you? What did it feel like?" Lets them name their own instinct about manipulation. That instinct is what you want them to trust.
