Adolescents, informally

Usage examples of teeners.

The teeners had left him on the sidewalk tied in a ridiculous knot with fingers and toes hooked together by Chinese finger trap tubes.

All sizes of teeners in costumes from many communes, but the fellowship and good nature he was used to seeing in groups was missing.

He rolled to a crouch with both feet under him, and for the first time looked at the circle of faces of the teeners who had beaten and made fun of him when he was pretending to be drunk and making believe to be Carl Hodges, and had stumbled into this forbidden territory.

The teeners had told him that all rules were evil, that all customs were neurotic repetition, that fear was a restriction, that practicality was a restriction, and mercy was a restriction.

Furiously Carl Hodges kicked and thrashed and bit at restraining straps, remembering at last, believing his conclusions about the group of teeners that had him prisoner.

If Carl Hodges was behind that door, the teeners would not let George approach it.

The circle of teeners and juvs around him were curious about the message he wanted to deliver to them.

He gathered it looped into his hands, eyeing the crowd of oddly dressed teeners that was his target.

The teeners would only hear him yelling Carl Hodges' name and still not be sure the police were near.

As he moved it, shadows scuttered on the polished metal walls, mimics of those that last night he had imagined offering cover to teeners bent on the work of Baron Samedi, Saint Nicholas or even Kali.

Like a pack of wild teeners, swinging fists and weapons, the four charged the couple from behind.

The teeners were agog with puppylike willingness, anxious to question him on what simply had to be exciting, and too often taking the more prosaic truth for some veiled criticism of their feminine worth.
