Um, when I used to attempt to help tutor in math um at the high school level, which was terrible because I'm terrible at math, um, but I would come in and really it was my form of tutoring was like, okay, you teach me how to do it. Nice. Because usually if they can teach me how to do it, they can then do it. Um, so I would have them do that. Yeah, so the kids would be like, I had this one kid who he would start like doing it well and he'd be like, Miss, I'm cooking. He's like, Don't worry about me, I'm cooking.
SPEAKER_00Like, oh, okay, alright. Like, okay, but be careful because whenever I cook, the fire department comes. Yeah. So he was cooking.

Like you've got a negative vibe, you're just low, you know. Um bringing the room down. That you're cringe or not cool. Well, they definitely don't say that about me.
SPEAKER_01Um, we've talked about Ohio. Um op.
SPEAKER_00OP. Op. I would say either like opposite or like op opt-in. Like, yeah, I'm down for that.
SPEAKER_01Op is an opponent or an opposition. Oh, good lord. So like she's my op.
SPEAKER_00It's back to your generation where people just cut words in half and text it.
SPEAKER_01We do cut words in half a lot. Oh my gosh. Um Riz style. We talked about that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Sheesh. Oh, geez. Oive. Like, whoa, wow. Sheesh. No, this isn't in like a good way.

SPEAKER_01I don't think I use any of these. Maybe yap.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_00I don't know. Okay, so what do you think the generation uh that's talking about don't take wooden nickels would think of the ones who are over there Ohioing and razzing and mogging and gap and yang and weird noises. And making random noises. Young man, young man. In my day when I was in the war and we were getting, you know. Murdered.
SPEAKER_01And eating our graveyard stew. I mean, there was love reports. I don't know. I mean, I think it's I think they would say it was lazy. I say it's lazy. I do too, but like I kind of love it a little bit.
SPEAKER_00Okay.
SPEAKER_01Like it's it's like each generation has kind of developed a language.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Like a language all of their own. It's true. It's true. Like sometimes I hear, like, even some of the college kids like they'll be talking to each other and I'm like, I don't know half of the words you just said. I know. Or the context in which you've said them. Exactly. Is it good? Is it bad? We don't know. I guess as long as you know how to talk to whatever adult or authority person around you, I don't care what sort of thing.
SPEAKER_00Well, and think about the words. Like, you know, we talked about last time the word fat, P-H-A-T in my generation, it was like, oh man, she is fat. Like, she is hot, she is fine. And it's gone back to being like, oh my god, don't say that about somebody. Like, we don't talk about people's weight. You know, like it's gone to to wait now. But it that meant like, wow, hot, cool.
SPEAKER_01I feel like we used to say, or like I would hear people say, like, um, now it's like she's thick. Oh, she's thick, she's thick. Or before it was like, oh, she's juicy.
SPEAKER_00Mm-hmm.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. Where like it was a compliment. Yeah, exactly.
SPEAKER_00Like she's thick, like she's got a nice badunk donk. She's got a nice booty donk. She's got junk in the trunk. Got like big thighs. Exactly. She's booty licious. It's booty licious. Yeah. Uh, but you think about how things change because back in this great generation, they'd be like, We're gonna go and have a gay old time. Right. I mean, sure, you can still go have a gay old time, but it probably means something different. Yeah, probably. Yeah. So and and um my my mother's so my great grandmother, my mother's grandmother used to say he's acting so queer. Right. Which would mean just like odd. Peculiar, odd, like out of sorts. Yeah. Yeah. Which now is now you can't say that. Now you can be like, wow, he's acting really queer, and he's like, actually, that's how I identify. So thank you.
SPEAKER_01I'm glad that you see that.
SPEAKER_00Yeah. Um, yeah, no. So like it does, you know, like you are fly. And it's like flying where? Yeah, where am I? You know, like my generation would be like, wow, that's really fly. Yeah. And nobody says debom, nobody says whatsapp. Unless you're a big fan of the office. They say it on the office, but do you know where it came from? It came from a Budweiser commercial that was run during the Super Bowl in the 90s.
SPEAKER_02Oh.
SPEAKER_00And it was WhatsApp. I think it was 98 or 99. Anyway, but it was just a WhatsApp, WhatsApp, and it was a bunch of these frogs just saying it in this beer commercial, and it became things. Yeah, and then you have Michael from the office saying WhatsApp. Which side note, Haley and I love the office, and our group um that we worked with, we used to go to Office Trivia and we loved the office, and we used to play it a lot. Yeah, put it on the TV at work. Because we had Netflix. Yeah, it's our comedic relief.
SPEAKER_01Yeah. When we needed something.
SPEAKER_00My neighbor actually just recently told me that she's never watched it before and she's now watching it, and she was like, Have you ever heard of the office? And I was like, You stop it right now. Have I heard about it? Heard of it. I love it. I was like, Have you gotten to Prison Mike yet? Have you gotten to the episode where he my favorite, where he grills his foot on the George Foreman grill.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, good luck.
SPEAKER_00It's called the injury. That's one of my favorite episodes. That one and the dinner party is funny. The C PR one's one of my favorites. That is funny. That is funny. Yeah. That's one of my faves. Oh well, this has been fun. Yeah. Thank you for joining us for our fun time. And we'll see you when we get more into actual deep thoughts. Yes. It'll be sus. I'm just kidding.
