to modern slang by showing you a few words or phrases used today.
- (chuckling) Okay.
- I don't know a lot of those things, but I'll try.
- (facetiously) Ooh, I am not so hip.
- Think I'm a pretty hip guy.
- Child, please.
I am slang.
- There's so many acronyms,
and nothing means what you think it's gonna mean.
- (drawling) Oh my gosh.
I don't know if I can hang with this type of "jizmazics."
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (Finebros) Do you know this slang? - (bleating) "Bae."
- Maybe it's sheep talk. Baa. Bae.
- No idea. That I've never heard of. Bae.
- Bay, it's by the sea, by the beautiful sea?
- Bust... butt?
- Could be a guy talking to his chick.
Guys just say "bae."
- I think it's affectionate to a friend.
- If it's "babe," and they're pronouncing it "bay."
- I think this means like your "babe."
- (Finebros) This word is pronounced "bay,"
and it's what you call your significant other
or something that you really love. - (laughs heartily)
No, that's "babe."
- They knocked out the B.
Why, they should've just put an apostrophe in.
- That's straight-up ghetto.
- (Finebros) Can you use it in a sentence?
- "Love you, bae." "Hey, bae." "Hey, bae!"
- "What you want, bae?"
- "Hey, bae. Let's go to a movie."
- (awkwardly) "Would you take out the trash, bae?"
- I like it. (phone chiming)
Oh, doggone, guys. I'm sorry about that.
Sorry, bae. (laughter)
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (Finebros) All right. So do you know this one?
- "Throw shade"?
Wow. Am I that far out of touch?
- Get in somebody's way?
- Put on some sunglasses?
- Telling you to get out of the sun or something like that.
- I'm gonna say, "Hey, chill. Cool it. Throw shade."
- I would think that this might mean overpowering.
- It means be disrespectful to someone, insult them.
(Finebros) So "throwing shade" is when you insult someone and,
more specifically, in an underhanded or subtle way.
- Oh, I see.
- Never heard that one before.
- Throw shade. You throw something at somebody.
So you could throw an insult.
- It's so nasty. It's so beautiful and nasty. (laughs)
I'ma go throw some shade on her.
- (Finebros) Do you want to try throwing some shade at somebody?
- (pondering) Who would I throw it at?
Kanye, get serious, man. Who gonna vote for your ass?
- I'll throw shade at whoever made up that expression.
- No, I wouldn't do that.
Well, maybe.
There's a few people out there who owe me money.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (Finebros) What about this slang? Do you know it?
- "Netflix and chill."
Now, I got "Netflix," but I don't know about "chill."
- I get the "chill," but the "Netflix."
- You want to calm down,
so just watch Netflix and then chill out.
- "Let's watch Breaking Bad in Netflix and chill."
Sit back and throw back a couple or whate--
Am I sounding cool now? I think I'm even beginning to sound cool.
- (Finebros) Do you want to know what it means?
- Oh, did I get it wrong?
- (Finebros) "Netflix and chill" is a code word
for going to someone's house to hook up with them.
- Oh, shit. I mean, oh, shoot.
- (flabbergasted) Where in the world did this come from?
- I don't really understand how that
has anything to do with hooking up.
- (Finebros) The phrase started out
as simply watching movies on Netflix and relaxing,
but it's become code for casual sex. - (laughs)
I think my sentence still works.
- (hushed) It's so parents don't know what you're doing.
- I like it. It's better than saying, "Hey, let's have sex."
- I definitely need some Netflix and chill in my life.
So if there's any ladies out there, I'm available.
- I want to Netflix and chill with Randy Harrison.
(chuckles)
- (Finebros) Does this remind you of any slang
when you were young that was like a code for hooking up?
- No. In fact, hooking up wasn't invented.
- "Roll in the hay."
- "Moody dudey."
- "Boink." I mean, that was a new word when I was young.
- There was a certain place that we used to go called Marangu.
And we put that in our diaries,
'cause my mother used to read the diary.
So she didn't know that "go to Marangu"
meant to go somewhere and hook up.
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (Finebros) How about this one? Do you know it?
- "On fleek."
On Donner, on Blitzen. Yeah. It's Christmas.
- "On fleek"?
I have no clue.
- Do you guys use this?
- This is some sort of drug.
- Kinda high or up or on crack.
- It's sharp and exactly the way it should be.
Somebody said, "Oh! Your nails are so on fleek."
And I said, "What does that mean?"
- "On fleek" means that something is correct, on point,
or looking its best. - Okay.
- You're kidding me.
I don't get it.
- "On fleek." Where did they get that word? That's a new word.
- Although it was first posted on Urban Dictionary in 2003,
some say it became popular recently
after it was used in a viral video,
where someone described their eyebrows as being "on fleek."
- I think I'd like to have that dictionary you're looking at.
- Like "fly"?
I like "fly" better, because I'm old.
- "Hey, you're so on fleek today, bae."
♪ (quirky interlude) ♪
- (Finebros) Do you know it? - "Thirsty."
It means you want to drink something.
- I guess I'm thirsty, but it probably means something else.
I'm not thirsty.
- I would think it's talking about wanting something.
- "Thirsty" means... I want action.
- You mean it means something else other than "thirsty"?
Probably means for sex.
- Maybe it means somebody wants to have sex.
- "Thirsty" means that someone is desperate for something,
usually sex. - Oh. I see.
- Ooh. Oh, oh, oh.
- Oh. (chuckles) Nothing to do with drinking.
- Elders really have to watch what they say.
- (cool voice) "Thirsty for love."
- I've heard the expression, "thirsty for sex."
- Isn't it all about sex, you guys?
You know, that's one thing that's never changed.
- (Finebros) Do you think you can use this one in a sentence?
- "Last week, I felt very thirsty"?
- "God, that guy's always thirsty."
- "I was thirsty last night, and it was too windy for my...
booty call to make it over."
♪ (quirky music) ♪
- (Finebros) Okay, so do you know it? - "AF." It's an adjective?
- "Aff."
AF: Always Funny.
- In my day, AF was "air force."
- "Air force."
- Definitely not "air force."
- Before and after?
- Does A mean "awesome"?
"Awesome Friend"?
- The F might stand for the F-bomb.
- I'm thinking of a four-letter word, but I'm not gonna use it.
A [bleep]?
- (Finebros) AF is an abbreviation for "as [bleep]."
- Oh! What's new about that?
- Okay, so I was close.
- I never heard anybody saying something as "as [bleep]."
- (Finebros) It's used to add emphasis
or express the intensity of something at its most extreme,
like saying, "It's cold AF outside." - Wow. So added emphasis.
- This, to me, is kinda ridiculous. But it's the kids' thing.
- Truly sometimes that word is the only word that works.
- I actually would rather hear that than the word,
to be honest with you.
- That's being a little, I think, more politically correct
by just going "AF" instead of saying "mother[bleep]er!"

- (Finebros) Final one! Do you know it?
- (laughs)
- (laughing)
Are you calling me out?
- "Basic bitch."
- Well, I know what a bitch is.
- That might be somebody's main squeeze.
- Is that how someone would describe their girlfriend?
- Kinda sounds like me. I'm kind of a bitch.
- Well, I assume it's someone who you really don't like,
a female.
- We know what a bitch really is, right?
We know that is a female dog.
Is it a real girl dog? That'd be nice, huh?
- (Finebros) A basic bitch is a person who thinks
they are very unique and awesome but is actually unoriginal
and just into everything mainstream in pop culture.
- Yeah, it sounds like me. I'm kind of a basic bitch.
- I really don't like the word.
- I take umbrage at that. I use it for a different meaning.
(laughs)
- In New York at Christmastime,
the basic bitches are all over the streets.
They annoy me, taking selfies every three steps.
