Speaker 1 00:00:06 Hi, and welcome to season two of does this make me look old, a podcast about aging as gracefully as possible when you're just not ready or too
Speaker 2 00:00:14 Middle aged friends, one middle-aged friend and one friend who seems to be diluted about her age wants to discuss topics around aging as they're starting to become more relevant to us, whether one wants to admit that to themselves or not
Speaker 1 00:00:29 As well. I'm Sam, an anthropologist at heart Dory from finding Nemo and spirit, and basically never going to be the type to Everett
Speaker 2 00:00:38 Mitsubishi. And I'm shown a physician interested in the science and medicine around aging, but also interested in how society and the media look at aging. And if that means that I have to take the hit by reading gossip, blogs to find out I will do so
Speaker 1 00:00:51 This season, we channel our love for pop culture and talk about shows, books, people, everything, all through the lens of getting over.
Speaker 2 00:01:00 We'll be covering topics such as how sexuality changes as you age aging as a disease, and even how sex and the city approaches aging. Now that Carrie is in her fifties
Speaker 1 00:01:09 Throughout it all. We chat Lance and laugh, but our own adult illness.
Speaker 2 00:01:14 So join us as we navigate our second quarter-life crisis. Hi, welcome to this week's episode of does this make me look old? I'm Shiv
Speaker 1 00:01:24 And I'm SIM.
Speaker 2 00:01:25 And today we are going to be talking about something that I think really does separate generations, which is slang. And I think I wanted to talk about this for a while, cause it's really funny. Like I read articles of all kinds and like one of the things that I was reading was just kind of like about emo culture and kids and things like that. And honestly, I can't remember what the article was about because it was written in English and I did not understand anything. I was like looking at this and it was like a whole different world, a whole different language, what I was looking at. And I was like, oh, I think I'm old.
Speaker 2 00:02:07 But then that made me think about how we use language in different, like in different cohorts or different generations and how slang changes from different cohorts in different generations. And I think that's probably, I think the easiest way to talk about it because I mean, like you can talk about niche cultures in each generation, but I feel like, unless you're really part of that culture, you don't really know it. So I'm sure that there were like niche cultures in gen Xs, which, you know, quote generation I would have been born in, but like I might even as part of gen X, I wouldn't really know it. And so, but slang for sure. I feel like we've probably all been exposed to it and also not been exposed to it in a sense because of the generation that we're in. So that's what I wanted to discuss today. So yeah. So seminar, I've been looking at a bunch of like articles on different slang used in different generations and I've come to realize, I don't think I actually used that much slang even in my own generation except for dude and like, which I have continued to this day and probably defines me as that. Awesome. Yeah. Yeah. I use dude. Awesome. And like, and
Speaker 1 00:03:20 Like, and whatever.
Speaker 2 00:03:22 Yeah. And whatever. Some, I feel like I use that less. I use that less way, way less than the other three. Fair enough. Yeah. I mean, cause I use like, you will hear me use like all throughout the podcast, so yeah.
Speaker 1 00:03:40 And I use a word like a lot as well and do, in fact I may have called in my younger days, my boss dude, dude, he was the VP of me and I was like, dude, and he goes, did you just call me dude? Yes.
Speaker 2 00:03:59 Yeah. I use dude all the time for girls, guys, whatever, but I feel like that. Yeah. And I think that definitely puts me in the gen X category. I feel like that's like a definite gen X slang word. I, yeah. So anyway, what do you think about that? What do you think about slang? Or is there like a time that you realize that you're out of it when it comes to
Speaker 1 00:04:19 I'm totally out of, I think it was the first time I heard the word, the term Visco girl, which I don't even know if it's it's a thing now, you know?
Speaker 2 00:04:29 Yeah. I feel like the school girls have kind of fallen out of favor. I I've used Visco the app, but like, yeah. But in terms of Visco girls, I think
Speaker 1 00:04:38 I remember when people were using like the word lit or something like that. Right. And I was like, wait, what I mean? And you get it, you know, you get the context of it. But I think, um, I just didn't realize, um, how much it had changed because one day you're using slang, like, you know, newbie and peeps and rents, you know, um, you know, stuff like that and bling or whatever. Right. And then the next day it's like, what, what it's like you said, it's like, I'm sorry, what was that sentence? Those were all English words, but I don't know what it means, you know? Um, so yeah, but I mean, I think like nineties and like two thousands is probably like, I used a lot of, some of those words quite a little bit, quite a bit actually. So I, um, like Poulos like whatever was thing, talk to the hand was a thing, um, as if, oh my God, everything was as if
Speaker 2 00:05:40 Yeah. Actually I found another gen X word that I do use not often, but I do use it heinous. I use heinous a lot. I have, I have used heinous, not as much as the other three, but I use heinous.
Speaker 1 00:05:55 No. And, and I used, um, uh, I used to use eat my shorts and hella. Um, so yeah, so I think quite a few, um, in the nineties or let's bounce and one of my friends, he, to this day, anything, he would be like word and I'm like, oh my God, like, dude, you're just dating us word.
Speaker 2 00:06:24 That's so funny. I know. So I'm on this, I'm on this site. It's like how stuff works? And they have a list of quote, gen X words, and I'm looking at these and I'm like, I know what they mean, obviously, but I've never used, I don't use them that often. Like, so, so there's one here it's called go postal, which obviously means like, you know, kind of lose your mind, get very
Speaker 1 00:06:49 Angry.
Speaker 2 00:06:50 I think I have, but I don't, I don't use it that I don't have occasion to use it that often, but I, I have used it in the past, but like I've never used a
Speaker 1 00:06:59 Dip. I've never used dead.
Speaker 2 00:07:02 Yeah. They had eyesight. But like you use that. I've never used it.
Speaker 1 00:07:05 Yeah. I mean, I didn't use it all the time, but it would be more, you know, um, I don't know when you're trying to, I don't know, be somewhat cool or something, you know,
Speaker 2 00:07:18 Hating yourself
Speaker 1 00:07:21 And chillax. I used to use chillax.
Speaker 2 00:07:25 Oh, that's interesting. Okay. Yeah. I've never used chillax,
Speaker 1 00:07:30 So relax. And um, the other one I used to use a lot was the word thingy
Speaker 2 00:07:36 Thingy isn't really
Speaker 1 00:07:38 Slang. It was just my replacement word for everything. And then it was really funny because our principal was so mad about that because everyone would go around using the word thingy. Oh interesting. And people like, you know, like, yeah, they kind of wanted to ban us from using that word because it was so annoying because every other thing was like, well, you know that thingy with the thingy.
Speaker 2 00:08:10 That's so funny. I've never heard of a, of a principal wanting to ban a word. Like
Speaker 1 00:08:18 Yeah. My school was strange.
Speaker 2 00:08:23 Yeah. Well, anyways, I'm going to actually list a bunch of these words on this site. And I'm just curious to know if our listeners have actually used these and like in what frequency, so, and actually some of them I'm like, oh, I've never come across that. And I don't think I've ever used that, but okay. This is from the nineties or this is, these are gen these are quote gen X slang words. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:08:43 Oh, so not, yeah. So they could be 80 students. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:08:47 So, okay. So go postal dip. Yeah. So
Speaker 1 00:08:53 Don't know that. Okay. Oh, okay. So
Speaker 2 00:08:55 It means to
Speaker 1 00:08:56 Leave. Oh, okay.
Speaker 2 00:08:59 You never used it, but I think, yeah,
Speaker 1 00:09:01 I used like, I feel like, like my friends that I used to use the word balance, like we're going to balance. Yeah. And I think I still do that now. Okay. Oh my God.
Speaker 2 00:09:15 I think I'm just like really uptight. I just don't use these words.
Speaker 1 00:09:22 You are extremely proper.
Speaker 2 00:09:26 That's what it is.
Speaker 1 00:09:30 Then go, go, go on.
Speaker 2 00:09:32 Okay. So then there's EIT.
Speaker 1 00:09:34 It used that.
Speaker 2 00:09:36 Yeah. Which for listeners who don't know, that means all right. And then, um, crib.
Speaker 1 00:09:44 Yep. I never used it, but I mean, obviously I know what it is.
Speaker 2 00:09:47 Yeah. Yeah. So I, I know I, yeah, I know what that word means, but I like, I've never used it. So that means like you're home, like popularized by MTV cribs, where they looked at celebrity homes and then, um, okay, so fat PhET DHAT yeah. We lived in different generations. Cause I have no idea what you just said. What does that revert to That's anyone? So then that's basically like, it's cool.
Speaker 1 00:10:25 It just basically means it's like excellent.
Speaker 2 00:10:27 Yeah, yeah. Um, ward up, Uh, which is basically like, Hey, and then, uh, this was
Speaker 1 00:10:36 Up. Do you remember the Budweiser
Speaker 2 00:10:38 Ad? Jesus. That annoyed me. I never used that mainly because it was so annoying,
Speaker 1 00:10:43 But I feel like everyone said it after the ad came up in that annoying way, but it was just funny.
Speaker 2 00:10:50 I feel like it was just men. I feel like it was just gender. That was very gendered. It was like just the guys used to use it to pretend they were cool. But instead I was, I guess this is just limited to me, but I thought they were all idiots,
Speaker 1 00:11:05 But it was just funny. And
Speaker 2 00:11:09 Okay. So basically you thought that it was cool.
Speaker 1 00:11:13 It was really funny.
Speaker 2 00:11:17 Oh my goodness.
Speaker 1 00:11:20 And we know I'm basic, right? Like we know,
Speaker 2 00:11:31 Oh my goodness. All basic basic is slang. It's not gen X. Like
Speaker 1 00:11:36 What's your next slang, but it is. It's like maybe in the last five years maybe.
Speaker 2 00:11:40 No, no, no. Basic as millennials Lang I don't think the gen gen, like, I don't think the current generation is using it at all. It's definitely old playing.
Speaker 1 00:11:48 I really don't know. Like I feel like I just pick up words and then some of the, some of them it into my vocabulary and some of them don't.
Speaker 2 00:11:55 Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he's basic. His old basic is not,
Speaker 1 00:12:00 I just didn't know when, how long ago it came into play.
Speaker 2 00:12:04 Yeah. No, it's definitely a millennial. It's millennial slang, but not,
Speaker 1 00:12:08 It is millennials.
Speaker 2 00:12:10 Yeah. And really how do you define this? Yeah. So for our listeners basic, you don't know what it means.
Speaker 1 00:12:20 Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:12:20 No, I don't think so. I don't think everybody knows what it means.
Speaker 1 00:12:25 It's basically like mainstream.
Speaker 2 00:12:29 Yeah. I guess that is a good description. I feel like I remember somebody describing basic to me is like, you like your pumpkin spice lattes. And, But at the time that was mainstream
Speaker 1 00:12:47 You're into whatever the popular thing is. Right. So it's kind of like, you're not very, um, you know, unique or original, you know, like you're just basic.
Speaker 2 00:12:58 Yeah, yeah, yeah. That's basic. Yeah. That is what it means. Okay. So the next one is dis Dis. Yeah. I used it. That's gen X. Yeah. That's a gen X word.
Speaker 1 00:13:16 I'm like, when did we start using it? I'm trying to remember when I did my subconscious.
Speaker 2 00:13:23 Yeah, yeah. Yeah. So, yeah. And so no one knows what this means. It means to insult. I feel like I used to use the word bogus, but I'm not sure.
Speaker 1 00:13:34 I think they used it a couple of times. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:13:36 Bogus. Yeah. Oh, that's interesting. Okay. So this is, this is like listed in the form of a quiz. So it's interesting because the, okay. These are the four things that it says it could mean. So we have to choose one, but it says awesome. Gross, fake or fun.
Speaker 1 00:14:00 Oh, awesome. Gross
Speaker 2 00:14:02 For fun. I feel like it's none of those, no bogus. Bogus does mean fake. Like the definition. This is fake, but like bogus isn't used. I never used bogus in that word. Am I finding out that I use bogus improperly?
Speaker 1 00:14:18 I don't know. You might be. I actually don't know how I used it. So I, in fact, I can't remember if I used it so
Speaker 2 00:14:26 Bogus as lame.
Speaker 1 00:14:29 Maybe that's what it is gross. So what's the answer.
Speaker 2 00:14:33 I don't know. I'm going to click on that.
Speaker 1 00:14:34 Yes.
Speaker 2 00:14:37 It won't. Let me click on it. How annoying? Okay. Hang on. I think I actually have to take the quiz. Okay.
Speaker 1 00:14:45 Bogus, fake or untrue. It's the current,
Speaker 2 00:14:51 That's
Speaker 1 00:14:53 It all wrong? Yeah. But it also means wrong on cool.
Speaker 2 00:14:57 Yeah. See I'm that's what I meant. Like, yeah. So when I used it, it meant lame. Like, Hm. So don't trust this article. Cause clearly I don't think they know what bogus means.
Speaker 1 00:15:10 Uh, basically it means he's uncool of poor quality.
Speaker 2 00:15:17 Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:15:18 I think that if you did use it, you probably used it in the right context. Even if you didn't know, you know?
Speaker 2 00:15:27 Yeah. Okay. No, so they're using it to mean fake, but I don't think like that's not really what, how you used it. Like anyway. Right guys write in. Let me know if you use bogus in the way that I used it or if I'm wrong and it actually meant fake.
Speaker 1 00:15:44 I think you're right. I think you did meet, you know, it was used as a person, so lame. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:15:50 Um, or like maybe not even lame, but that's like, like it's wrong? You know? Like this is not, yeah. It's not cool. Right? Like, yeah. Weird. Okay. Oh, okay. Psych. Oh,
Speaker 1 00:16:04 Psych wait. Psych was after not right.
Speaker 2 00:16:08 I don't know. We're the same, like the same.
Speaker 1 00:16:13 Oh, it was the same context. Cause I use not a lot. Um, where
Speaker 2 00:16:17 Not came after site. I feel like psych came before not,
Speaker 1 00:16:22 Oh, it just somehow sounds like psych would have come after. But um, yeah. I used to use not a lot.
Speaker 2 00:16:30 It's
Speaker 1 00:16:30 Like, you know, oh, that's so funny. Not, you know,
Speaker 2 00:16:35 People around me use psych a lot and I didn't like it. Like, I just didn't like the use of the word
Speaker 1 00:16:40 Because it was just,
Speaker 2 00:16:43 I know I am, I am,
Speaker 1 00:16:46 This is not proper. I understand why people just don't speak Queen's English all the time.
Speaker 2 00:16:57 No, no, it wasn't because it wasn't proper. It was just mean like, but I want you to say that to somebody it's just like cruel, very cruel thing to do. Oh, you want to come to the party psych, you know,
Speaker 1 00:17:10 That's
Speaker 2 00:17:10 How it was used. And it was like, oh,
Speaker 1 00:17:13 You're not invited. Yeah,
Speaker 2 00:17:15 Exactly. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1 00:17:17 Maybe my friends were not part of mean girls club hanging out with
Speaker 2 00:17:26 Really that's what it was used as. Right. So yeah. I didn't like,
Speaker 1 00:17:35 It was a softer version of psych.
Speaker 2 00:17:38 Yeah. I feel like they were on the same level. So I didn't like either of them.
Speaker 1 00:17:43 Fair enough. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:17:45 Okay. So dude, which we all use, um, kick it, kick it,
Speaker 1 00:17:53 Kick it. Yeah. I don't think I've ever heard that one
Speaker 2 00:17:57 Really. Oh, I've heard it. I just never used it. What does it mean? Um, I think it's just like to chill or like relax. Isn't it
Speaker 1 00:18:07 Let's check it.
Speaker 2 00:18:09 Let's find out
Speaker 1 00:18:11 So slang. Oh yeah. To relax somewhere.
Speaker 2 00:18:17 Yeah. I never used it. Oh actually this one I do use and I still do can't even,
Speaker 1 00:18:27 Yes. I can actually realize it was a slang in the first place. I actually just use it and I didn't realize it was a slick.
Speaker 2 00:18:38 I know. Yeah. Yeah. So I do use some slang. I just don't use all the slides. Okay. So then, oh, getting jiggy with it. Which, I mean,
Speaker 1 00:18:47 I mean, we all know it as a song, but I, I mean, I never used it though.
Speaker 2 00:18:52 Well, I know I never used it as slang. This is interesting. I feel in the sea, but even in slang, like I feel like there's certain like niche uses of it. Okay. So this, this slang, so this shows you how old I am. Like or maybe how like not cool lines, but okay. So you and your home slice are headed to the movies. Who are you going with? See home slice. I didn't know. As a term, except for in Juno. So like it was that Diablo Cody movie with like it's Elliot page, right? Yes. Yeah. So it's like, it's Diablo Cody, like it's D it's. I think it's one of the first movies that Elliot page did. And so, um, about like a pregnant teenage girl and so, and like, yeah. And so then that character always used to say home slice and that's the first term, like the first time I'd ever even heard that term, it was like home slice.
Speaker 1 00:19:48 When, when was this word used?
Speaker 2 00:19:51 So it's claiming it's a gen X word, but I do not think it's a gen X word. I feel like Juno came out in the late,
Speaker 1 00:19:57 Late nineties, early two thousands. I never used it, but I know what it means, but I never used it though.
Speaker 2 00:20:06 I would think it's more of a millennial. Like I would think he was more millennials slang than wouldn't it.
Speaker 1 00:20:12 Neil slang my email, which is why it explains why I don't know any of it.
Speaker 2 00:20:18 Yeah. I've never, I don't think I've ever seen home slice actually used as a,
Speaker 1 00:20:24 I don't think it was. I think that whoever wrote this article wrote it recently and they're just researching and they're like, oh, this must have been a slang word. I watched this movie with my grandmother. I mean, right. Like it's kind like them trying to interpret what was a language it's like, when I hear the word, like, you know, swell, I'm like, oh yeah. That's like an old movies word and I'm putting my own interpretation of it. But yeah, that's true. Who knows how they actually meant it? No, but you know what I mean? Right. Yeah.
Speaker 2 00:21:05 No, it's true. Although, I mean, if people did use home slice lettuce, neuro, I'm curious, like, you know, when did you start using it? Did you use it in the eighties and nineties?
Speaker 1 00:21:16 We started using words like new or sketchy
Speaker 2 00:21:20 Newb is a millennials. I think new, new feels sort of like a millennial word, but
Speaker 1 00:21:28 It was in the late nineties, early two thousands.
Speaker 2 00:21:31 It wasn't, or it was as it
Speaker 1 00:21:33 Was.
Speaker 2 00:21:34 Yeah. But don't you don't you think that by the time the two thousands rolled around that's considered like millennial slang?
Speaker 1 00:21:41 I guess. I mean, I'm just saying, because it was part of my vocabulary. So I'm just, you know, like the like Paris Hilton made it popular. Like that's hot. So use that a lot. WhatsApp was like a lot, I used WhatsApp a lot,
Speaker 2 00:21:58 But if you knew Ben poned and all those words came out because of like gamer culture. So I, I feel like that's not really like an eighties, nineties thing, even though I'm sure gaming kind of had an upswing in the nineties. Like I think
Speaker 1 00:22:13 It was probably like a nineties, two thousands. So I think like, for me, like those are the ones that stick out because I used to spend a lot of time playing stupid shit. Like,
Speaker 2 00:22:26 Yes. That's the little thing I had no idea what poned meant back in the day. I was like, what's it isn't even smell like a word, like there's no vowels in it except for the ed at the end. Like, what is this? Exactly. And there, I showed my age at a very young age. A woman.
Speaker 1 00:22:50 Yeah. But it's funny because you, yeah, it's funny because, um, I feel like it's also around the time that you were sort of heading off to med school at school. Yeah. Maybe. So you're kind of like withdrawing and you're like, I do not need to know real world anymore. I just need to survive the next few years.
Speaker 2 00:23:14 It's pretty much. Yeah, you're right. I think it's true. I like suddenly came completely out of pop culture and I went into this black box slash vacuum. I know there's like, like there's a good lake. I don't know, like 10 year period where
Speaker 1 00:23:29 Some of those stuff, like I get there from the eighties, but I'm like, I don't fucking know those, you know? And so I'm like, oh my gosh, like, that's hilarious. So clueless, ultimate, awesome movie. That one was like a lot of the ones where, you know, I think I use pretty much all of them. Yeah. All of the words and clueless,
Speaker 2 00:23:58 Like
Speaker 1 00:23:58 What now I'm trying to remember, which explains how much, but like, I
Speaker 2 00:24:05 Don't remember the
Speaker 1 00:24:06 Words actually. I'm going to look it up. Cause I feel like clueless used to be like, I could understand all of it, you know?
Speaker 2 00:24:16 Yeah. While you're looking that up, I'll go through a few more. So dweeb. I mean, I did use dweeb back in the day. I do not use it very much anymore
Speaker 1 00:24:23 As if was clueless. See, I knew as if what had to happen from
Speaker 2 00:24:29 Existed
Speaker 1 00:24:29 Before clueless. No, no, it did. Of course. But what I meant was like clueless was like that movie that where all the slang that they used, I was like, yep. No, all of this.
Speaker 2 00:24:40 Yeah. Yeah. Cause I, cause I remember using as if like way before clueless,
Speaker 1 00:24:45 So yeah. Used as if whatever, um, uh, I didn't use cheapen, but that's because it was Murray's word. Cause he's just so funny, but he's also so out there I have to rewatch this movie. It was one of the best movies ever. Um, yeah, we should do that. Right. Um, and oh, Audi, Audi was a, a clue like, I mean it was using clueless, but um, it's like basically I'm leaving. Right. I'm Audi. Yeah. So actually that friend who uses word still uses Audi too, by the way, Betty, wasn't my, you know, like, uh, uh, like sheriff says, wasn't my mom, a total Betty. Um, uh, I didn't use it, but I knew what it was and basically attractive girl.
Speaker 2 00:25:49 I actually use that though. Or do you bring it into the vernacular?
Speaker 1 00:25:53 It might've been clueless that brought it into the vernacular. I don't actually know
Speaker 2 00:25:58 When you're seeing Betty. Cause I've never used Betty. But like if, when you're saying Betty, like what exactly are you referring to? Like which Betty? Like Betty rubble?
Speaker 1 00:26:07 Yes. Oh my God. Yes, actually it is. Yeah. Oh, I never used chin pubes. That's when Paul Paul Rudd's character declaration that he's growing a goatee.
Speaker 2 00:26:32 That's too funny. Okay. So let's go. Let's let's finish this. There's some gen X words in here that I don't know actually, so. Okay. So do we, do we, we all know it. So it's like a nerd or a li or um, so, okay. Butter. Did you ever use butter? No, I know I've never used butter. I'm assuming it means smooth because it says, so the word that they, so I'm just getting this from the context, but it says LeBron James is like butter on the court. What is he? I'm assuming smooth. Yeah.
Speaker 1 00:27:01 Isn't one of the latest versions of it. But, or, but her like sort of like,
Speaker 2 00:27:06 Oh yeah, I bought her face, but that's a butter face. It's not like butter.
