Do British kids have Vinces? Can they even do they even care?
Do they care?
That seems like another over the top American.
Some of it's cringy.
I'm not going to like you.
Literally all of my tax are crying faces, laughing faces.
The last one is definitely gone.
That agency like that's.
Like for.
Hey guys, welcome back to The Girl In London Channel.
If you're new here. My name is Kalen.
I'm an American who's lived in the UK for almost ten years.
This is my best friend Emily. You've met her.
If you've watched some of my other recent videos, I am in Florida visiting my family
and friends, which is really exciting but also comes with it.
Some like reverse culture shock where I haven't been in the US in a year
and a half and I have lived in the for a long time now.
So when I come home, there are some things that are different.
And in this video I thought it would be really fun if Emily quiz me on like recent
American slang to see if I know it and have come up with it.
So we're gonna go ahead and try that into any Americans watching.
Definitely enjoy.
Probably have a laugh at my expense.
And if you're British watching Time play
along with me and see if you know what these things mean.
Okay, so I have my list ready.
I'm going to preface this by saying I'm getting these off of a site called Parent.
Ology. Com.
Always for the parents, parents.
That kind of thing.
Alright, so the first one.
Okay.
If something is stuff, it's like suspect
sketchy.
So suspicious. Yeah.
So it's from the hit video game among us.
I
don't know. Okay.
This is not going to be an American birth.
This is just going to be like old people, young people.
So some guy the other day did think I was in high school.
I'm not.
I'm almost 30, but thank you.
The next one.
Sleep on.
Sleep on is like a sleep over.
But you sleep on.
Sleep on.
Is this thing? No.
Okay.
Is this thing you do?
Yeah.
Sleep on.
It's like a sleep on.
It's a sleep over.
Not exactly.
To sleep on something is to remain ignorant of it.
Oh, so like I've been sleeping on Taylor Swift latest album.
Like, you really know. Okay, exactly.
Okay. All right.
What about hits differently?
If something hits differently, I feel like they say that to mean something good.
Like it's like
that just hits differently because it's good.
Yeah, kind of.
I'm so happy it gets you a little misty eyed.
Maybe you feel some type of way. Okay.
Yeah. I think even the explanation is like.
Okay, what about
what about snatched?
I
heard this, but all I can think is snatched.
Like you snatch something out of someone's
hands, but I think it's something is snatch.
No, snatched.
Snatched means
angry.
No, it means someone who is dressed to the nines and stylish clothing.
So like, if your outfit look, you look snatched right now.
Oh, my God. I know.
Yeah, this is definitely I've been away for too long because I
would think I'll snatch the toy from your hand.
Okay. This one.
This one got me. Okay, because I don't.
I didn't know about this until recently.
So what is it?
Oh, well, fine. As a fake Instagram.
What's the line? Because my students were studying abroad
in the UK used to have their Instagrams, and they would have a fin to that.
They didn't want their parents or the staff to see.
That's what I'm saying. Like, we just use the regular Instagram.
Yeah. Like, also, we didn't have Instagram, right?
That's true. But I feel like kids use since the right.
Why would you have a fine.
I don't have time. I barely.
Why exactly am I?
Who am I hiding from? Exactly?
I feel like it's like a kid. Yeah.
Yeah. Okay.
I knew that one well.
In press is very interest.
But it's just like a fake Instagram account.
Right. Or is it a separate social media platform?
A second, possibly secret Instagram account?
Sneaky parents.
If your kids have an Instagram account,
I don't know how you find their finsta to drop the word in the conversation.
So they know that, you know, I feel like to British kids have Vinca.
Do they even care? Do they care?
That seems like another over the top America.
Why do you just like living this Idyllic life when I
feel like British people comment below.
Do you know anyone with the fin stuff? Do you have a thing on a good stuff?
This is alarming. Okay.
The next one Cup. Cup.
Which is funny because I've tested you
on shaft cuffed, like handcuffed, which means if you're used, if
you're cuffed you're like, you can't go anywhere because you're cost.
I mean, you're on the right track to be in a committed relationship.
Oh, okay. Exactly.
So people is saying in the winter months are looking for a new relationship.
It's cupping seasons.
So when it gets cold outside and you want to be someone in the holidays.
Do you know most of these just from being an American people using them?
Yes, but I feel how to say that in like, a 15 year old thing.
This is like people YouTube or.
Yeah, it's across the board, but also some of it's cringy.
I'm not going to like you.
What about mood?
Okay, mood.
I case a lot, but I don't know if I'm saying it right.
Mode is like when someone does mood, how do you explain what the word mood means?
It means someone does something
and you agree with how they feel or you're like, oh, I can totally relate.
And then you say mood.
But maybe that's how I used to say mood,
like five years ago because I tend to be like five years behind.
But it's like I can relate.
Yeah.
So, for example, someone posts a picture of a sleeping dog.
If you're feeling a little sleepy
yourself, you might say food lose if it's a trash on the road mood.
Like, what do you feel like has exactly. That just got our.
Okay,
what about this? Ain't it, Chief? Oh, I've heard people say this.
Disney it, chef.
That's what you say when you're like, I'm not happy with that.
It's like something negative.
And you're like, if you come here looking
to fight, this ain't cheap because I'm not going to fight you.
Yeah, a way of expressing discussed or
disapproval of something, a reaction to something outrageous or offensive.
Dingdingding, you are in with the kids. Oh, my gosh.
Okay. This one.
I think this is relatively new.
Okay, so the word SIM.
Okay.
My first reaction is stem means simple. Like simpleton.
Like someone who is basic.
Is this the new basic?
Is this saying your simple Ie?
You're just like you're just like everyone else.
You're boring.
It's someone who is willing to do anything to please.
So it's often directed at a man or men who found over women obsessively,
even though their chances of getting with these women are very low.
So, like, you do kind of embarrassing things to get with women.
That makes you a SIM. Yeah.
Is it a simple makes you simple? It's just simple.
Just you're just like.
You'Re sending over someone like you're such a tin pan over someone.
Wow. Yeah, that hopes doesn't catch on.
It hits different.
Total spin, dude.
Okay, I feel like I did. Okay, you did.
I feel like for not being in the US for a fake high schooler.
I think you did a great job.
I think I've done it pretty good.
But seriously, you can leave the country for a year and a half.
Yeah. And all of a sudden.
You come back and people are like, Simpson, and I'm like you what?
Tipping on their fin stuff.
Jimping on their fine stuff.
And I'm just like that.
I didn't say over my head.
I'm like the America I left, didn't say this, and now they do.
I know.
Well, it also concerns me that Tbh is on here.
Th why is that? To be honest, does that still mean to be honest?
Yeah.
Do you know what I like about LOLs people who used to meet lots of love?
Yes.
Why they do? They do? Yeah.
Oh, yeah.
I like older people. Okay.
I'm just like, not the kid on the physics.
So I'm not on no one saying a wall anymore.
No.
You even text me all the other day and I thought it was a typo.
It probably was honest to you. I can.
And also, I don't know if you know about the emojis we use now ages.
Like what?
Like the R emoji.
Like that's a no go.
That's a no fly zone right there.
Like that's what I know.
And that's all I use.
I think just basic red hearts are out the window.
That's literally all of my text.
Crying faces, laughing faces.
The last one is definitely gone. That agency.
Like, I understand that's, like, for a.
Oh, emoji. I don't know.
The cool kids use, like, weirdly ironic.
Like, I don't know, like the yoga girl or like.
You'Re calling me Avocados.
I don't know what it all means.
I don't know her telling me that the crime face now ages me.
Yeah. I wonder if this is the same in the UK.
Do emojis cross countries?
I don't know,
because I know a lot of people in the UK who use crying emojis,
but also that could indicate their age rather than that's true.
So I'm not sure. I don't know.
I don't know what emojis are you using these days in the UK.
And we can call in to get your agent.
Give us your top five emoji that you give us your top five emojis and what you think
lol means, and we'll figure out what country you're from and how old you are.
Wow.
For science, I feel like I've learned a lot today.
Well, thank you guys for watching.
I hope you enjoyed this video.
Sometimes we do like a thing at the end
of my video, people who made it to the end and I say something and you know,
how do people comment and say that they watch the whole video?
I'm shocked.
Some of them are honest, and they're like, I just skipped to them.
Well, I appreciate that.
But what should we have them comment? If
they made it to the end, it has to be like a word or phrase or secret.
Drop your favorite emoji below or either type out what?
Describe your favorite emoji. Can you leave emojis on YouTube?
Oh, God. That's age of yourself, too.
We definitely can.
Okay,
we're gonna go eat some Oreos. Okay.
Leave your favorite emoji that apparently you can actually leave down below.
Or if you're old like me, just type out what it is,
and then we'll know you made it all the way to the end of this video.
Okay. Okay.
Okay. See you guys.
Next time.
