Oooohkay, so fun little fact uh...
to prepare for this video I had to google
"Millennial Slang"
which is probably the worst thing I think I've ever done.
Are you ready?
So this is my grandmother
who is the sweetest and nicest person ever.
And I'm about to corrupt her innocence.
You wanna learn some Millennial slang?
I think so?
I'm not sure
Also these are more like 2014 era slang
because it's such stereotypically-
anyway...
So I'm going to read you some phrases and you have to guess what they mean.
(softly) oh boy, okay...
Ok number one:
(incredulously) "Glow up"???
Glow up.
Be happy and 'glow up'?
I meeeeeannn
Use it in a sentence.
You glow up when you come out of your room in the morning.
I meannnnn....
He does! -if that's what that means...
I don't know what that means but
you're very happy and positive!
...you knowwww
It's like improving yourself.
For example, comparing pictures of 15 year old you
you know when you're going through puberty with acne and braces
versus 25 year old you with flawless hair and great skin...
ah yes yes that was me
That would be a glow up.
oh okay
So I guess you could say when you roll out of bed in the morning you do glow up
Gosh I goofed on the first one...
How many more are there?
I don't expect you to know this 'cause it's not relevant to your life
No, I don't 'glow up'.
Okay number 2
...oh my gosh
'throw' shade?
When you 'throw shade' at someone what have you just done?
Oh, does that mean you've been saying negative things about them?
Yeah I mean...
It's not that you take your umbrella and give them shade
Which is what I *was* going to say but
then I thought "k wait a minute think about this a little"
Actually I'll give you the point for that one!
Oh, really?
It's like, backhanded insulting?
Er like having a clever insulting retort to whatever someone says.
Gee you guys have your own lingo!
I missed all this...
Okay
'Cool' and rolling with it
Bob marley type
no?
See you're like aaaaaalmost there.
Like I can see...
Here, use it in a sentence.
I don't know anybody that's low key.
Everybody I know is real high energy.
It's like...
like for example
if I wanted to do something
but not *extremely* so
like if we were gonna go
see a movie and I was like
"yeah i could go see that"
like "yeah i'm low key interested"
Oh okay.
Yeah see?
As opposed to 'high key' which is like
"I NEED TO DO THIS NOW!!1!!11"
See that's what I've been surrounded by for my entire life.
You can also combine the two though and create like this
"I'm low key starving"
which is you know a *slightly* more extreme way to say that you're hungry.
I'm not going to get graded on this am I?
Oh gosh.
Oh no. 'Turnt'?
Turnt.
"durnt turnt"
(laughing) I don't know what that means
"I turnt the water on"?
I don't know.
What are you when you are turnt?
I don't have a clue on that one.
'turnt'
You're not quite 'hurnt' but...
Sorta got burnt but...
I mean if you were reaaal turnt who knows maybe that woulda happened...
Oh my golly, what does turnt mean?
It's kinda like 'turned up'.
in that if you were like at a party and you went real wild and crazy
you got turnt.
Like turned up to 11.
Turned up.
Turnt
Ohhhhh oh my golly.
Who thinks of all this?
So yeah if you get like
you know, hammered and you just kinda go crazy
(like in a good way, not like just started slapping people)
but like "YEAH" dancing really hard.
You got turnt.
Well I'll be. Okay.
Learn something new every day.
For all those parties that we go to.
We went to parties but we never got 'turnt'
Oh here's a good one.
'Bae'?
B-A-E
I don't know what to say
'Bae' B-A-E
I know B-A-Y
B-A-EEEEEEE
It's like your significant other.
It's like 'babe'
but even shorter. Bae.
Oh ok.
I've heard people say it stands for 'Before All Else' but I don't...
that just sounds fake to me personally.
But yeah it's a short way of saying "babe"
Oh that makes sense because
you guys do shorten your words.
We got no time to enunciate TWO syllables!
Exactly.
We got places to be! Things to do!
You know you've got a long ways to go down the track? You know that?
Well this isn't even on the list but
a big thing is just shortening the word 'very' to just 'v'
Really?
"I'm v excited about that"
Really??
And they know what you mean? Because we can't be bothered to type
'ery'
oh my gosh.
Well see mine are in total longhand
all my texts, everything.
No wonder they're so long.
And no wonder nobody reads them!
awwwwww nooooo
I know, it's just out there but
nobody reads it
Do we need to have a talk?
Somebody said once "It's like you're writing a letter Sue!"
And they don't text me because they don't want this big ol' long letter response
I think that's the saddest thing I've ever heard!
Isn't that sad?! I know poor me!
I love you gramma!
It's hard to be me!
Geez! Text my grandmother please!
I'm getting better though
because as I watch to see how you guys do it
I go "OH okay!"
sorta getting it....
Wha's so funny though is that I am the exact opposite.
I hate texting.
Yeah you text just the bare bones.
Ok
Lit
Oh 'lit'. Isn't that when you're like...
'drinking too much' lit?
no?
I mean yeahhhhhhh...
it can be.
Well it's not as much
a party thing as 'turnt' is
but it's just like
if things were 'lit'
they were good. Things were great.
Things went really well.
Oh okay, wow!
See in our day it just meant you drank too much.
Boy I didn't realize you guys had your own language!
I really didn't, that's amazing!
We had Pig Latin but
Ouyay Alktay Igpay Atinlay?
Ok here's a great one:
'Woke' like you woke up in the morning?
Y-yeah, that's how you spell it...
That's not what it- well I mean...
Is it sorta like 'work'? 'Woke'?
Past tense 'work'?
"He woked"?
I don't know...
I'm sorry that was the best thing I've ever heard come out of your mouth right there.
It's like you just woke up
but that's like a metaphor.
oh
So it's like
It's that word
like you just woke up
it's not a different word, it's that word
but it's in a completely different context.
You are surprisingly very woke.
I mean nOT SUPRISINGLY
NO I'M SORRY I DIDN'T MEAN THAT
But like-
K wait a minute wait 'til I find out what that means!
Let me rephrase that!
Naaah it's already out there!
There's no better way to say this
For a grandmother, you are very woke.
and it's great.
Oh my golly.
'Woke' basically means aware of social injustices
or social issues.
Like your eyes have been opened to the problems of the world.
You're woke.
It's like a Neo in The Matrix kinda thing.
Well I mean I do listen to the news
until I'm like totally depressed
then I turn it off!
tell me about it
But yeah as opposed to people that just kind of insulate themselves in a bubble
like "Everyhing's fine with the world! Everyhing's great!"
It's like no. When you're 'woke' you're aware of how messed up things are and you want to fix it.
Yeah it's pretty messed up these days!
Oh my gosh.
'On fleek'.
'Non fleek'?
Like a non-sweet except a non-fleek?
Oh my golly.
Oh yeah 'on fleek'
Are you on fleek? Is that like on foot except you're on fleek
You're on foot but you've got to take a leak?
Forget that!
I take it back!
THAT was the greatest thing I think I've ever heard you say
Oh no...
CANCEL the meaning of 'fleek'
That is now it's new meaning.
