Keny, Louis, Tom

Ever found yourself chuckling when someone says it's "brick" outside, or nodding in agreement when a friend declares "that's my jam"? Well, Keny, Louis and Tom. the Jersey Guy—certainly have, and we're peeling back the layers of slang that season our daily conversations. As we tip our hats to National Women's Day, we meander through the rich landscape of informal speech, celebrating the words that echo our identities and stitch us into the fabric of our communities. From the frosty streets where "brick" reigns supreme to the beats of a tune that's unequivocally "our jam," we revel in the expressions that make English a dynamic, ever-evolving feast for the ears.

Join us as we chuckle over the timeless swagger of "dope" and take a joyride in the linguistic "whip" of slang's past and present. Keny, Louis, and I swap tales packed with the zest of regional dialects, the chucklesome gymnastics of outdated gems like "humdinger," and the ways slang can bridge or befuddle generations. Whether it's marveling at Boston's distinctive twang or dissecting the fresh emergence of "no cap," we're spinning the yarn of how slang weaves itself into the tapestry of our communication—without a single "cap" in sight. So, whether you're a language lover or just looking for a heartfelt laugh, tune in and let's celebrate the wild world of words together.

Speaker 3:

Happy weekday. Yeah, that's what you were going to mention a national day.

Speaker 2:

Oh well, yeah, so we missed last time. We missed the National Woman's Day, that's correct. So love to all of our women, appreciate you all, even though sometimes it feels like we don't.

Speaker 3:

We do Listen. Is he talking for himself? What?

Speaker 2:

Sometimes women don't feel like they appreciate that we appreciate them. We do, do you know?

Speaker 1:

what's funny, do you know so it was the craziest thing is a Google search like results Like the. Do you know? International Men's Day, right? The only time that it searched is on International Women's Day, because guys are like how come there's no national men's day? They don't give a fuck the only time they give a fuck is when it's.

Speaker 2:

International Men's Day. That's the only time it's searched for. That's all. That's it.

Speaker 1:

They're like you got far this day, right, but yes, we missed International Women's Day, so apologies, though.

Speaker 3:

So, yes, we just mentioned it on our next one, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So thank you, ladies out there, for doing all you do. Appreciate you guys, we do.

Speaker 3:

We make sure that we put it up every day on Facebook on our Facebook page Instagram. It's on the every national day. Usually every morning I get it up there for you guys to see, so I can share that with everybody.

Speaker 2:

He thinks about everybody and gets it up yeah.

Speaker 1:

Hi guys, you talk All right.

Speaker 2:

All right, all right. So everybody, today's topic is slacking Slang. So that's what we were talking about, because you know everything we say. Language right now is a slang of way back when in the day.

Speaker 1:

You know slang and even idioms, I guess, are a type of slang. I use them all the time. You know it's interesting. We just like using it. It just sounds cooler away. Yeah, just easy to say.

Speaker 2:

Yep, so easier or cooler?

Speaker 1:

Sounds better, it does.

Speaker 2:

It's cool. So we're going to talk about a slang definition, a type of language that consists of words and phrases that are regarded as very informal, on more common in speech than writing, and are typically restricted to a particular context or a group of people. Right, so that you know again. So, like the definition it gives here, or the example, I'm sorry, is a grass is a slang from marijuana, so we would say something that would, and this way, nobody knows really what we're talking about at that moment.

Speaker 3:

You know stuff like that, right, we don't need to explain, they'd know it Exactly Just the person you're talking to.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, You're going to say something.

Speaker 3:

No, I think I'm going to say something.

Speaker 2:

Okay, okay, okay, so that then. Yeah, so that's.

Speaker 1:

I mean think of how many words, man, how many things phrases, whatever that we use back in the day and there's always new ones and ones that go like like have you ever used? And so I. It's funny because I used it where I was from and my friend who grew up in Queens used it too, so it wasn't just Jersey. But you ever use the term brick out like it's brick.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's brick is cold as hell, yeah, yeah, I've heard of it, but I never used it.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, some people don't like know that, but I think it's like more regional. It's like regional to this area, like like the New York, you know, like the tri-state area. You never used that, no.

Speaker 2:

Oh yeah, bro, no, I was mad.

Speaker 3:

It's a big thing outside oh yeah.

Speaker 1:

Cold as hell, cold as a witch's titty. Yeah, that's what.

Speaker 3:

I used to hear. That's what I used to hear.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but then well, I guess that would be a yeah, I guess that.

Speaker 3:

So looking at the definition it's a slang, right yeah.

Speaker 1:

So I was going, I was saying that slang is just like words, right, so slang is like a word and idioms are like a saying Right, that's slang, right, right, right, right yeah.

Speaker 2:

That's insane. Yeah Well, what I'm seeing here is I think it's the same thing though.

Speaker 3:

Right, yeah, no, I'm with you yeah yeah, yeah, I'm reading right here it says often considered informal language of unconventional expressions has been an integral part of the human communication for centuries. Its origins are diverse as the cultures that produce it, with influences ranging from migration and globalization, technology and pop culture.

Speaker 1:

You know people just come up with someone, just says something and it catches on. You know Right Like, you know you just go or just just from somewhere you know, just somewhere local, and it just happens like that. Just you know. Yeah, it's interesting.

Speaker 2:

So now you think about what language was. Yeah, right, everything that we use is a slang of original language. Yeah, it's the change up, like you said, to depending on where we're from, where we're living. You think of the melting pot that the United States is so many languages.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

You know, you just catch a few things that you know, you just switch it up and just making your own. As far as speaking English, you know, or whatever other language, then the things that we say different words to describe events or a feeling or whatever, then those are just the slang words.

Speaker 3:

And every place on the planet has their own Right For this. Yeah, Different meaning. Right, I mean the same meaning, but they say it differently.

Speaker 2:

So, like a conversation I was having with the Mrs and we were making jokes a while back and I was saying, oh yeah, I'm going to go hook up with the fellas, we're going to go and hang out, do whatever. And she's like hook up, what do you mean? You're going to go hook up, I'm like hook up, hang out, like going chill, yeah. But because hook up to some people means go and have sex, yeah, yeah, yeah, hook Tarmeor mean hook like two people like we're getting together as hooks, oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know what I mean. Like right, yeah, but then but that.

Speaker 1:

but to me I've always used the other one. I've always used like oh yeah, yeah, you know, I went to the concert I was hooking up with that girl. Yeah, I mean like a make it out. I don't even mean sex, I just to me it always meant like make it.

Speaker 2:

Oh see, yeah, no, no, no. I guess there's a number of different things it could have been useful.

Speaker 3:

It was used. You know the way you just said it, right the way you just said it. So it was just more than one thing it could be useful right?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and depending on where you are, yeah, it was determined, and you grow up in the United.

Speaker 3:

States area and most likely that's how you are. Yeah, yeah, that's you were doing it right?

Speaker 2:

Yeah, like all right. So I Called up a couple of friends to remember, remember we were growing up.

Speaker 3:

Hold on, you say for me. I always remember this, oh snap.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's all gonna say. I was gonna say, that was snap.

Speaker 3:

Yeah, I use it in so many different ways. Oh snap, that's funny.

He just called you out bitch, yeah, I said I hit my brother up, eddie, and we were saying and that was one of the ones that he sent me oh snap, like, oh snap, that was crazy, like that was official.
