Do You Think the Word "Tween" is Real?

[Panda-chan]

I think it's BS. The word was just invented because whiny loser kids these days are in such a hurry to grow up. Being a tween is nothing like being a teen at all.
No offense LT.

Tween |twēn|
Any of a class of compounds used esp. as emulsifiers and surfactants. They are derivatives of fatty acid esters of sorbitan.
ORIGIN 1940s: of unknown origin.

It's in the dictionary, so it must be a word. Does it refer to the age group of 10-12? No.

I did look it up in the dictionary and it actually IS a real word, it's short for "tweenager". So if it's official in the dictionary, then it IS an official REAL WORD.

There's the link if anyone wants to look at it. But don't listen to urban dictionary or anything like that, ANYONE can write in it.

I actually use the term "tween" myself.
