- Hey guys I'm Adam Devine
and I'm going to be teaching you some Nebraska slang.
[upbeat musac]
Aksarben, aksarben is Nebraska backwards.
Our main like civic center I guess
where Boys 2 Men would play,
which I saw them in fifth grade
when Brandy opened up for them, no big deal.
It was called the Aksarben Center
so we're pretty clever in Nebraska.
Huskers, go big red baby.
I think most people know this one.
Huskers are University of Nebraska at Lincoln,
that's what all of the sports teams are called
and most importantly our football team
which probably are going to be national champs
within the next 15 to 20 years.
Detasseling, so if anyone like grew up in the Midwest,
which I did you would have to like wake up at 5:00 a.m.
and get on a truck with a bunch of strange men
and go take off the top little
♪ Scroblidos ♪
on the top of corn, a piece of corn.
So you would rip those off and then you'd come back
all bloody and you're like, "Worth it.
"I made 13 dollars an hour."
The Farmer Wave, I feel like other people call this
like the Jeep Wave or the Convertible Wave,
but it's when you wave to someone
and they are polite and they wave back.
Like when you're driving through the corn fields
and you see a farmer,
100% of the time they'll wave back to you.
So you just give them a little
[whistling]
and they go.
Red beer baby!
Red beer is just like a beer
and then you put tomato juice in it.
Like Mexicans have Micheladas and those are delicious.
We sort of do that without any of the delicious spices.
[laughing]
We have like the whitest version of a Michelada
and it's just called Red Beer.
Also pretty delicious though.
Runzas, ooh mama, runzas baby.
Runzas are like a fast food restaurant
in specifically in Nebraska and they're basically
like a meat filled Twinkie if that sounds disgusting.
But it's not sweet, it's sort of like a Hot Pocket
with cheese and ground beef and cabbage
and it sounds gross, and I get that,
but it's actually delicious.
Oracle of Omaha, my boy, the king himself Warren Buffet
we call him the Oracle of Omaha
because he's from Omaha and he's like,
I think he's like the second richest man in the world
or something like that and he's just really good
at doing the stock markets.
And Omaha weirdly has like the most millionaires
per capita, at least was a fact
that I heard when I was a child
because of Warren Buffet.
Because everybody was just like, "This guy seems smart,"
and invested with him and then he made everyone super rich,
except for my parents.
Buggy, now I didn't know.
I thought that everyone called shopping carts
like at a grocery store buggies.
That's what we called them in Nebraska.
And I worked for a grocery store when I was a kid
so I was constantly going like,
"Yeah I'll just go grab a buggy.
"Oh you need a buggy?
"Hey do you want me to take the buggy
"and help you out to your car
"with the groceries in the buggy?"
And then I came out here and I'm like,
"Hey you want me to grab the buggy?"
And people are like, "What are you talking about you idiot?"
Sandhiller, that's what we call people that live
like way on the west side in Nebraska
and they live on the sand hills out there
and we call them and we're like
"Ugh, look at that sandhiller,"
and "Oh cool, are you a sandhiller?"
See so it can be used as a derogatory term
or like a hey what's up, sandhiller's in the house,
which I've never said that.
Doodinkus, that is, it's like a doohickey.
It's like a little knickknack or a gadget or something
and I've only heard like really old people say this term.
Like I don't think young people say doodinkus a lot,
but like you'll catch somebody's great-grandfather
and they're like, "Look at this doodinkus,"
and you're like, "It's just a car key."
Blackshirts, yeah baby!
This is Huskers we give our defense
and just certain people on the defense
that are really killing it we give them black shirts
to wear underneath their pads
and to be extra bad ass.
Puppy chow, now we eat this in Nebraska
and it's not dog food and a lot of people are like,
"Ew, you guys eat puppy chow?"
I'm like, "Yeah I love puppy chow."
They're like, "You guys eat puppy chow,"
and I'm like, "All the time.
"I can't get enough of the stuff."
What it is, it's not dog food,
it's Chex Mix with peanut butter and chocolate
and powdered sugar and it's all mixed together
and it is so good dude.
Bugeaters, that's just something we like to do for fun.
Like to, I just find them on the ground
and I start munching, high protein.
That's not right.
It is actually the Huskers were called the Bugeaters
before we were called the Corn Huskers
because we were bad at making names for ourselves.
Who would name their sports teams the Bugeaters?
That's not what you want to be known nationally for doing.
So what, maybe we ate a few bugs back in the day.
We don't want to spread that truth about ourselves.
So now we are the Corn Huskers, thank god.
And that's it.
And those were Nebraska slang terms
with your really, really good friend Adam Devine.
