I Am Confused About Some Things That Are Going On In My Life

I'm confused... I just got a new job but my team mates conversation's are not understandable they use word's that not everyone knows or heard of before, also the topic of the convo's are very different (most of the time I don't know what they are on about) When they ask my opinion on something or get me involved in the convo I just nod along to what they say and pretend to understand but never really get the topic. I've asked a few times but even when they explain it I still don't know what's going on!!

Should I just keep what I'm doing? - Pretending to know..Please let me know your thoughts on this!

Always write down words you don't understand so you can google them later.

@4meAndyou I tried but cannot remember what was said to be honest, even if I did probably wouldn't know how to spell it...

@Gabii00 You have a cell phone, right? Pretend you are texting DURING these conversations. It doesn't matter if you don't spell something correctly. Spell it the way it sounds, and when you google it later, google will ask you if you meant "such and such". Always say yes, and then read the definition of the word and see if it makes sense with what you remember of the conversation.

@4meAndyou Good idea, but I don't want to seem rude and use my phone while they are talking; also not supposed to have my phone out during work hours.
