how do you do fellow kids what welcome
to watch mojo and today we're counting
down our picks for the top 10 phrases
kids today don't understand she was like
i'm a pusher katie i'm a pusher
what does that even mean for this list
we're looking at sayings people from
older generations used all the time that
millennials and younger folks may have
no idea about what's a phrase you've
heard someone say that you never heard
before let us know in the comments
number 10
roll the window down when was the last
time you drove in a car with crank
windows unless you're driving a beater
from a few decades ago you likely
haven't seen these in years
[Music]
until 2008 crank windows were the
standard means by which to get some
fresh air into a car roll your window
down start there
you got to hear the street you got to
smell it you know you gotta taste that
feel it
you'd wind the lever in one direction
and the window would lower and vice
versa this gave birth to the rolled
window down term which older generations
can relate to with power windows having
become the norm this old saying has some
younger drivers scratching their heads
look at this
power windows power seats
i'll bet you the thing was six grand
yes and it has a roof but it's hidden
number nine you have a collect call
at a time when pay phones were the norm
you'd often find yourself being asked to
insert more money to extend the call
time we could be moving to florida
please insert 2.25 for an additional
three minutes mom where's your cell okay
don't laugh
i didn't lose my power cord it ran away
yet in some cases payphone or not you
would dial zero in front of the number
and be asked to record your name the
line would then dial the outbound call
and when answered the receiver would
hear your name and could accept the
charges for the call
hello you have a collect call from
anybody don't say no
this gave way to countless creative ways
to say your name to convey a message
without ever paying for the actual
conversation collect call please
first name bob
last name is
we had a baby pizza boy
sorry wrong number although still
available collect calls have vastly
diminished thanks to nationwide
long-distance plans available for most
phone companies
number eight i'm watching reruns as hard
as it may be to fathom now there was a
time when you couldn't re-watch whatever
show you wanted at any time it's a great
time to be alive isn't it episodic
television aired new episodes every week
and if you happen to miss one you might
just have to wait for a rerun networks
would often rebroadcast previously aired
episodes from the same season during
parts of the year where nothing new was
available i've seen this one this is a
classic this is uh where ralph dresses
up as a man from space
what do you mean you've seen this
it's brand new
yeah well i saw it on a rerun
it's a rerun although the term is not as
common anymore the practice of reruns is
still quite common outside of the
streaming world there are still entire
tv networks dedicated to re-running old
episodes of shows people are fond of you
might miss miami vice
nope summer reruns
i'm all set
number seven eject the cassette we
suppose the same thing could be said for
floppy disks at one time as well in the
era of rolling storage cassettes often
just referred to as tapes were used for
playback and recording of music well i
could just record my part on tape i
guess and jermaine could play along a
tape a cassette tape
no they had a magnetic ribbon that spun
between two spindles this meant that for
most cassette players the tape was put
into a slot and then pushed into the
device while playback was in progress
you couldn't pull out or even touch the
tape itself congratulations on
purchasing the sanyo dl30 the finest
non-reversing tape player
you would have to press the stop button
to discontinue the music and then press
eject for the tape to be released from
the player if you own a dvd or blu-ray
player you've probably done this
yourself
number six get off the phone i'm trying
to download a song
dial-up internet may still exist but by
and large broadband has become the norm
but when digital music emerged during
the napster era much of the world still
connected to the internet over a
traditional landline telephone
downloading music for free is awesome
what the hell is that i don't know let
me check them
freeze fbi
since you couldn't talk on the phone
while connected to the internet this led
to all kinds of disruptions while being
online picking up a phone receiver while
downloading anything typically resulted
in you being disconnected and your music
download being interrupted
[Music]
it was made worse by the fact that a
typical song could sometimes take
anywhere from 15 to 30 minutes to
download it also led to a barrage of
requests to hang up the phone
get off the phone whereby the offender
put the receiver back in the cradle
number five would you like to be seated
in smoking or non-smoking when it comes
to most bars restaurants and even
airplanes today the idea of smoking
indoors seems antiquated
you can't smoke in here
all right
while smoking the weed oh you can't
smoke in the waiting room either then
i'll smoke in the hall
i'm sorry you can't smoke anywhere in
the building yes we know it's still
allowed in some places but for most of
north america smoking has become
something seen primarily outdoors yet it
wasn't that long ago when you go out to
eat and a server would ask you if you
preferred a section where people smoked
smoking or not smoking uh
smoking
[Music]
what's even more surprising is to
remember that at one time the ticket
agents at an airline would ask you the
same thing when booking a flight smoking
or non-smoking
smoking please
[Music]
have a nice trip we wonder why it took
so long for restaurants to catch up to
what the airlines did years ago
number four listen to the b-side
at a time when vinyl records were all
the rage both sides of the album were
given a label a and b 45s which usually
had one song on each side were popular
with radio now you all just sit there
and keep your mouth shut while i go
listen to my britney spears records the
a side tended to favor the more popular
music the record label wanted to promote
from an artist whereas the b side would
contain instrumental or other songs the
label was less interested in what about
the b side all my only dreams on the b
side
we need it for the b-side the term
b-side stuck in the industry and became
synonymous more so with bonus or extra
tracks that were not part of a typical
album's release there's a hidden bonus
track oh i hope it's a ballad as the
world has shifted to streaming services
the term has fallen out of use
considerably
number three be kind rewind
do you remember going into a video store
and being asked beta or vhs if you do
you probably also recall being asked if
you had rewound your movie when it was
returned
349 it says 149. we didn't rewind it
there's a two dollar charge for not
rewinding
there's no signs here this is an outrage
george don't give him any money for that
it'll cost you less to keep it another
day rewind it and bring it back tomorrow
before dvd video cassettes were the main
medium for movie rentals like their
audio counterpart they had a magnetic
ribbon that spun from one spindle to
another this meant that when the movie
was over you'd have to rewind it to
watch it again movie rental stores like
blockbuster video would often have signs
or ads reminding you to be kind rewind
before bringing your tapes back to the
store this saying quickly died with dvd
but it did get a movie named after it oh
that's not an alphabetical order i know
that it's the new order excuse me do you
work here i don't think so
haven't you heard about the new west
coast video more efficient
non-alphabetical order number two what's
your fax number it's funny watching back
to the future part two and seeing how
they thought faxing would become such a
huge part of 2015. read my spouse please
no i cannot be fired i'm fired
long before the internet gave us email
fax machines gave us the ability to make
a facsimile hence the term facts of
something and send it electronically the
average consumer rarely used fax
machines but it was very popular with
businesses facts a fax is coming through
oh yeah facts or facts it's
instead of having to snail mail a
document to someone you could get their
fax number and send it to them
immediately over a conventional phone
line it's still in use today but has
been largely replaced by secure
electronic delivery via the internet how
can i help you hey how you doing uh if
you all had a fax machine
fax machine
oh okay um
it's a good question if you bear with me
a second i'll just check with a
colleague the average kid probably has
no idea what a fax machine is before we

number one like a broken record have you
ever heard someone repeat the same thing
to you over and over again it can get a
bit annoying and some folks might even
tell you they sound like a broken record
say what again say what again i dare you
i double dare you
say what one more goddamn time the term
comes from the days of listening to
music on a record player as the album
would spin a small needle would bounce
off the grooves of the vinyl and produce
a sound amplified by the player
scratches on the vinyl would often cause
the needle to skip and the same few
seconds would repeat again and again
hence the term broken record
if you can't make a record if you can't
make a record if you can't make a record
since most kids today wouldn't recognize
a record they wouldn't recognize a
broken one either do you agree with our
picks check out this other recent clip
