If the words "neek", "goth", "rudeboi" and "emo kid" mean nothing to you then help is at hand in the form of an illustrated guide to teenage subcultures, written by a Sutton Young Enterprise group.
The Little Book of Big Stereotypes was written and illustrated by members of N-Devr, a Young Enterprise group made up of students from Sutton Grammar School for Boys, as a way of helping baffled adults understand the teenage cults they see around them.
"We were extremely fed up with stereotypes of teenagers," said the company's operations director Adam Avd El-Razzak, who is 16.
"All you hear about in the news is teenagers getting ASBOs. We wanted to show that not all teenagers are yobs and that there are lots of different kinds of teenagers."
They describe goths as being "like Bruce Forsythe..they change and adapt with the times, evolving with society," and neeks as being "like ninjas, if you want to find them you have to know where to look." This has earned them a place in the south London Young Enterprise finals, having been successful at the Sutton and Merton finals. If they win at the next round, the London, national and even European finals beckon.
"We hope to bring the title back to Sutton. There hasn't been a winning group from Sutton for a few years," said Adam.
Business and enterprise teacher at the school Paul Denton said the group had impressed him.
"They have actually come together as a team. At the start the were lots of individuals but now they have come together to produce an excellent book," he said.
They have written it themselves and illustrated it themselves and are due to meet people at Waterstones in Sutton to see if they will stock it but I think bigger publishers would be interested too."
The book can be ordered online at artistsandsaboteurs.com. It costs £4.99 a copy.
