units

Definition

Your parental units—a delightfully robotic term for mom and dad that makes your family sound like a science experiment. Popular in the '80s and '90s for adding just the right amount of teenage detachment to conversations about the people who feed you. Think of it as emotional distancing through technical terminology.

Example Usage

Can't go out tonight, the units are making me stay home for family dinner.
