- What?
- (React) What does this say, Phil?
- Oh, yeah, sure. Everybody knows that.
(Jair laughs)
- Someone tells me a joke. (laughs) I'm dead.
- Oh, you slayed me. Okay.
- Yeah, there you go! - Yeah.
- (React) Or like low key.
- She's a thooter. (Angel laughs)
- (React) We brought in Elders and Gen Z
to see how well you know Gen Z slang words.
Do any come to mind?
- Like gang? - (React) Okay.
- And finna.
- Dump.
- (laughs) He said dump.
- Oh geez. - No cap.
- No cap.
- (React) Mm-hmm. - For real.
- It reminds me of something you put on your head
when you play baseball.
Hurried from your apartment to get to the game,
and you had to be on the field by 11.
You drove up, parked your car, ran in, and,
I've got my uniform on, no cap!
(buzzer rings)
- I...
- I'm thinking like no capital letters?
That's probably not what it means,
or not wearing a hat on one's head,
which I don't see the point of that either.
- I'm gonna be so embarrassed if I say this and it's not,
it means without a condom. - (React) No.
(Angel laughs)
I mean... - (laughs) I get, no it doesn't!
- (React) It doesn't. (buzzer rings)
- No crap, and no cap? (bell rings)
- Now you got it. Now he's got it!
- Say I'm walking in the mall, and I see this fine guy,
I'm gonna be like he's fine as heck, no cap.
- That sweater that he has on is awful, no cap.
- Hmm.
- I'm seriously one of the coolest Reactors, no cap.
- Wow, are you? No cap?
(Jair laughs)
- No cap means I'm not laying.
- Oh!
Why?
- I couldn't tell ya.
- What's cap for? - Lying, that's cap.
You got a cap like, that's cap. - Oh, okay.
- You gotta put it at the back end, say your statement,
and then you close it with no cap.
- What? (Jair laughs)
I'm almost 82, no cap. (bell rings)
- Oh!
- I really want to know your philosophy of life, no cap.
- (laughs) I like that, actually.
- You are cool. - No, you're ice cold.
- I'm not cool.
That's what happens, you know, the circulation in your body goes,
and you get colder every day, that's right.
- I'm anemic, so we may go back and forth on that one.
- Wow anemic, I used to date a girl named Betty Anemic,
she was hot. - (laughs) Betty Anemic.
- Ooh. (laughs)
- (React) Rhoda, what does that say? - Simp.
- Simp, they were like a nerd, and geek.
- A guy who's not too cool, he's kinda stupid,
what a simp.
- Now we're onto something, Phil. - Oh, I hope not.
- It sounds like a simpleton.
Probably not referencing The Simpsons.
(buzzer rings)
- My ex boyfriend was a simp for me.
- That guy talking to that girl over there is a simp.
- Mm-hmm.
Yeah, but that doesn't explain why.
- A simple, humble, honest person.
- Aw, he was so close! (buzzer rings)
- Like, I'm not a player, I'm a simp.
Like I'm in love with her, I'm falling for her,
I'll do whatever.
- Oh, oh. - (Angel) That's what a simp is.
- It's like you're all over them.
- It's not flattering.
- No, it is not. - (Rhoda) Right.
- (React) You're whipped, that kinda thing.
- Yeah, PWed.
- (React) Wait, what? - Wait, what does that mean?
- It applies to a woman's private parts.
- Oh! - Meow, meow.
And if a guy is like that, it's just like pathetic.
- One of my ex wives was a real simp for me.
No simping here. - No simps, no simps, no cap!
- What? - (React) What does this say, Phil?
- Oh, yeah, sure, everybody knows that.
(Jair laughs)
- Sus in my day meant to understand something,
and to get it.
- Sus, or Seuss? - Sus.
- Sus.
- Just by hearing it, what do you think?
- Not good.
- That's an abbreviation of a word.
- Suspect, suspend.
- I am sus of what that person's doing over there.
- Got it.
- Suspicious. - Yeah!
- You get the criminals, and you pick up a couple of 'em,
and some were purps and some were sus.
- (laughs) It adds up.
- He's not returning my call. That's sus.
(bell rings) (Jaxon laughs)
- I used the milk anyway, but it was sus.
(bell rings) (Angel laughs)
- It gained popularity through a game.
- Oh. - And that game was called Among Us.
♪ (Among Us jingle) ♪
The game was to find out who was the, just,
sorry, so...
This is hard to explain.
- You get a disease, and you get the drip.
(buzzer rings) (Jair laughs)
No?
- I have that.
- (React) Mm, it's true.
- It's not the old term, like he's a drip.
- He's just a drip, he's no fun, he's boring.
- Phil, do you have any drip?
- Uh, I had some penicillin, took care of that.
(Jair laughs)
- Someone has drip.
- Which would mean what?
- My drip made all the boys look at me.
Don't think about it in a nasty way.
No, Catherine. (buzzer rings)
- It is like sauce. - Sauce?
- Mm-hmm. (laughs)
- It doesn't sound good to me,
I don't see how it could be good to have drip.
But I guess maybe it is a good thing?
- Your drip is your style. - Yeah, that's just, you got drip.
He drippy.
- Like the drip. - Well, there used to be a term.
She's dripping with diamonds or something like that.
- Yeah, yeah! - Yeah.
- Yeah, I've got drip. You've got drip.
(Jaxon laughs)
- My daughter's really drippin'. - Mm-hmm.
- Is that right? - Oh wow, that was so good!
- It sounds offensive though. - (laughs) It does!
- Hits different, ooh.
- Yeah, that could be dirty. (buzzer rings)
- That person doesn't fit in with the crowd.
He hits different. (buzzer rings)
- Okay.
- I had some oatmeal this morning,
but that Jersey Mike's later just hits different.
- A digestive thing. (buzzer rings)
Like, you're backed up from the... (Jair laughs)
- Watching that show from my childhood now
hits different from when I was a kid.
- Oh, that's great.
- See, I take it literally, and it's like
every cup of coffee his different.
- Yeah, you just did it! - Oh!
(Angel laughs) (bell rings)
- (React) That's it!
- It could be in a good way, in a bad way,
but it is in terms of, basically feeling.
- It feels different, it feels good, like better.
- To meet some woman, and I used a good hit,
and they were interested. (buzzer rings)
- Well it's more so the effect that the woman had on you.
- After a drink or two, any woman, it doesn't matter.
(both laugh)
- I don't know, he just hits different,
or, I'm talking about boys this whole episode.
That's horrible.
- Something effects you in a meaningful way!
- This one, I feel like anyone can say it,
it sounds normal in a sentence.
- If I walk in next week, and I hear you say
this coffee hits different.
I'm gonna just stare, I'm gonna be like Catherine.
- And go that's Catherine!
- Oh, bet. (laughs) Bet.
- Bet? (Angel laughs)
- All I know is that's a gambling term,
that's what I'd get out of it. - (React) Yeah.
Use it in a sentence.
- Bet. - Bet.
(Jair laughs)
- It's gonna rain. - Bet.
- For sure. (bell rings)
- Yeah.
- (React) Let's go to the club. - Bet.
- Oh, okay, so you're acknowledging it with a positive answer.
- Is it like for sure? (bell rings)
Bet. - Yeah, that's it.
- We're almost done filming. - Bet.
(Angel laughs) (bell rings)
- Phil, do you have to change your Depends?
Bet. - Bet. (laughs)
- Let's go out to dinner with my family.
- Bet. (bell rings)
That's my favorite one so far.
(Jaxon laughs)
- (React) Would you use this? - No. (laughs)
- That old folks home. They won't let me out.
I get between, three and, if I get there by nine,
they lock me out, you know? (Jair laughs)
- (React) They made you sleep outside. - You bet!
- (laughs) No cap. - (React) Yeah.
- I don't even know what that is.
How do you say that?
- Cheugy. - Cheugy?
- Cheugy? - (React) (laughs) Yeah.
- I'm just as lost as you are, Phil.
- No, no, no. This is the worst one.
This is not used, this is stupid.
- You have a Gen Zer not knowing what that is.
- This is Millennial propaganda, okay?
This right here, invented by Millennials.
- It doesn't have anything to do with gum, does it?
- No, Phil. (laughs) (buzzer rings)
- Who the hell said cheugy?
- No, I cannot imagine what the derivation is
or what it would mean.
- Like a loogie? (buzzer rings)
- Oh, that's pleasant.
- Now we're in the same boat. - You hocked a cheugy?
(Jair gags) Yeah.
- (React) Out of style, or Millennial.
- Out of style, yeah.
I wasn't caring for the polo, either, Phil.
- It's just a gross word to say, too. Cheugy.
- (React) Like a Live, Laugh, Love sigh is cheugy.
- Oh, that's very cheugy. - (React) Mm-hmm.
- That's cringey.
- You went to the store with Phil, and we both...
- Yeah, and they both said we look cheugy.
- They told me we couldn't come back, we were too cheugy.
- And I said how dare you!
- And they said young cheugy, and old cheugy.
- Yep!
- I'll never use cheugy ever, but straight up, but no.
- I'm dead. - (React) Mm-hmm.
- To me, it sounds like I am so over it.
- Well, I think about this every day.
(Jair laughs)
I'm dead! (buzzer rings)
- Bro, did you see her shoes? Then there's me, I'm dead.
- Phil, I'm dead.
- Man, I know. You're so alive too.
It's amazing. (Jair laughs)
- Someone tells me a joke. (laughs) Oh, I'm dead.
- Oh, you slayed me, okay.
(bell rings) - Yeah, there you go!
- Used when something's really funny, it kills you metaphorically. (laughs)
- Yeah, it's just. - (laughs) I'm dead.
- (laughs) It kills you metaphorically!
- Metaphorically, okay. (Jair laughs)
- (React) That's my definition, by the way.
- I love that!
- That's terrific, I mean, that just sounds so blissful.
(Jaxon laughs)
- I go out in the world, I walk around the streets,
and I look at people, and I start to think.
You know, most of these people are dead!
(Jair laughs)
(buzzer rings)
- (React) So close.
- Not good, huh? - (React) Not quite, not quite.
- Bop.
- Yeah, I know people that say boop.
- (Mr. Krabs) Beep boop boop bop.
- But bop?
- Something when you have some gas coming up, and you close your mouth,
and it doesn't come out, it's a boop.
(buzzer rings)
- He a bop, she a bop, my ex is a bop.
For real, my ex is the biggest bop in the world.
- (React) Oh, that's funny, that's not the definition I'm going for.
(buzzer rings)
- When I was younger too, they had dances,
and sometimes they'd call it let's go to the bop.
- A dance, musical, move, do bebop.
(buzzer rings)
- (React) Okay. - Very close.
- We used as a verb, like I'm gonna bop to the store,
I'm gonna bop on down to the store. (buzzer rings)
I'm gonna bop on to the club or whatever.
- That song is a bop.
- I still don't know if that's good or bad.
- It's...
- Oh, that's a bop! Oh!
- That's good, 'cause that's with me, relation to music, which was bebop.
- Bop, I think, refers to sound.
Something like that.
- Red Light, Green Light was really bop.
I know, 'cause I was in it. (bell rings)
- The way I know it is a hoe. Thooterbop, you're a thooter.
Here's the exact definition.
It's thooter, can I cuss?
A thooterbop is a nasty [censored] who rides around town on a longboard
from place to place [censored] anything that walks.
Think's she's hella hot when she's not.
A complete [censored] whore that [censored] everyone,
and lies about everything.
Also known as a thooter.
- I went to catholic school, and damn,
we didn't know, if you'd said whore, we wouldn't have known whore.
- Low key, yeah. - Oh, low key, yeah.
Someone low key is someone that's just always real calm and cool.
(buzzer rings)
- What it is is someone who's cool and laid back.
(buzzer rings)
Someone who's not too emotional about things.
- I mean, that's a phrase that I would use a lot at the time,
but I'm sure it's not used that way for Gen Z.
- Low key, I think I gotta take a shower after this.
- I didn't wanna say anything, but... (Jair gasps)
- Keep that low key. - Okay.
- Okay. (laughs)
- You could start it off, and you can end a sentence.
Like, aw, that was kinda cool, low key.
Low key, that outfit is kinda nice.
- Low key is more secretive or restrained.
You might say it before something controversial.
Yep, low key.
- That's the down low, what was back in the old days.
- Yeah, the down low.
Hey, we keep it on the down low. I like that.
- You could say low key, you could say high key.
- Really? - Yeah.
- Sheesh. (Jaxon laughs)
- High key is like it's out there, everybody's business.
- Right.
- Low key is like, low key, I'm banging this chick.
- Yeah, right, okay. - You know?
- Okay, that sounds very Gen Z, I guess,
taking a perfectly good phrase, but in having to make it different,
where it has to begin the sentence or end the sentence.
- (React) Or like low key... - She's a thooter.
(Angel laughs) (bell rings)
- I wouldn't use it, but I understand it.
- Mm-hmm. - (React) There you go.
- That's how I feel about a lot of these, so...
- (Rhoda) Yeah.
- I'm low key, growing up. Ugh, I'm low key scared.
- Just so you guys know, all of a sudden, you get to a point,
you'll just one day, and I go,
I just went [censored] everything, [censored] everyone,
this is who I am, I'm out for myself now.
I've been out for other people, I'm gonna take care of myself.
If you like me, fine, it you don't, here's two.
- I love that!
- I'm gonna give you two fingers, and two hands.
- (React) Y'all killed it. - You did a great job.
- Well, your inspiration and guidance was what made me good.
- (React) You could say I liked your guidance, low key.
- I could? - (React) Yeah.
- Nah. - (laughs) I could.
- (React) What do you think about Gen Z slang?
- I like it, and it's funny that it's kinda similar
to the past gen, my generation,
the '80s, valley girl.
- Gosh, it's confusing. - (React) Yeah.
- It's something foreign and new to me,
and I don't think I will be using any of these terms.
I'll leave it to the Gen Z's.
- (React) How does Gen Z slang differ from like,
other generations of slang terms, would you say?
- It's less direct.
- But a lot of times, these words are just like
word of the week sort of things.
Remember the word fleek? - Yeah, yeah, I did hear of fleek.
- It's, again. - It's gone?
- Nobody uses it, exactly.
- I really like thooter. (Angel laughs)
- Thanks for watching this episode, high key.
- Did any of these words hit different?
You've gotta let us know in the comments, no cap.
- Don't be a simp, subscribe to the channel.
- Or be a simp, and subscribe to the channel.
- Bye! (Jair laughs)
We'll put some cheugy on you if you don't subscribe here.
- (laughs) Put some cheugy on you.
