Act like a parent, talk like a peer. I call it peerenting. I learned it from my own dad who used to walk into my room and say, “What’s up sweat-hog?”

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker describes a parenting style that mixes authority with casual friend-talk, coins a jokey name for it, then credits it to their own father's awkward slang greeting. The humor is in the proud, cheerful cringe passed down a generation.
