The Feinics Gate Podcast - Issue 163 - Deadass, Shakespeare Would’ve Said It Too

0:06 Ladies, now it's Showtime. Let's show them we can rise from Ash, Jane, Lavender and Scarlett. Phoenix power. So can't go where we rise. They tried to ban us when one's like a flower. They didn't know we had a Phoenix's power Phoenix.

0:32 'S power. Hey, hey, Phoenix Nation, I'm here. I'm queer and it's lavender here. It's always very, very exciting when I get to lead us into an episode. I know, I know, I can hear you clapping on the other side of the void, but thankfully, I am not the only one here for your goddamn ears. We have one of my best friends in the entire world, the Incomparable. It is almost. You know when this comes out, it will be her birthday month, Jade. What's up? I don't. It's your girl, Jade Phoenix. I'm here. And I let the lavender lead us in for once, because you know you can't always hear me.

1:13 Evil. I'm not. I mean I'm evil. You are my teehee. Hee. It's evil teehee. It's Gremlin. It's Gremlin. It is Gremlin, but we're not alone. We're not alone. No, we are not. You have each other. We do have each other, but just as important, everyone. And we have a Crimson too. Yes, absolutely. We love having a Crimson with us. They're so laid back right now, they're just chilling. Just a yo Crimson is like y'all should see him like laid out like a king giant squish mellow like we could have given him a crown today and he would have fully accepted it like he would consider.

1:52 Himself king of the house. Anyway, it would probably suit me.

1:56 Oh my. Royal love the couch. Pinky up half. Mast I. Wear. This Let's do it. We're always pinky ups here. I mean, does that make you the king of the digital? World. I'll take it. OK. Like we'll have that. I mean. Seriously, I'll take it. You take it. I'll take it. I don't. Think anyone in Phoenix station would disagree? I mean seriously, the only one I know that knows like the most about Digimon, knows the most about 3D printing, knows the most about a lot of other things. Like he's also, if you haven't listened to our previous episodes, this is like the game guru.

2:35 Because he's the king of the gamers According to him. Because he's the only one with a game design. Degree. OK, OK, let's no, it's not glazing because it's. Like, let's like rail it back, you know? More. Maxing here. Just just for the people out there, I did not say any of these things. This is just them this. He's such a liar, that's what. Look at that. You can't. Even be glazing, glazing. Body we're just trying to make you look good and you keep just shooting us down Crimson seriously you know it's it's.

3:13 Really, I would accept it if you weren't always saying it's like him saying this, OK, first of the move, where's the get that clear so everyone out there knows experience. You mean you wish you weren't so sarcastic and or amaxing? No what? And yes I only learned what war maxing meant like 3 weeks ago really. Oh my God, your life the. Only reason I know what it means because I don't keep up with the kids. OK, as I found out, we don't. Keep up with the kids. I literally went to go see twice total like little offshoot but just for everyone to know how old I am.

3:52 I listened to twice when they like first came out right like twice. They're like the same age as me, OK. And I went to the Toys concert. It was amazing, best experience ever. And it made me feel ancient because no one says Stan anymore. I found it the hard way when a very nice young woman tapped me on the shoulder and said who do you bias what? And I stared at her like she had 12 heads. And my brother, rightfully so, started hysterical laughing and had to explain to me that bias is what the oldsters called Stan, which means who's my favorite member of Twice.

4:32 And it was actually really sweet. She gave us key chains and everything and trading cards. But I felt really ancient in that moment. And similarly, the only reason I know what Aura Maxine means is my boyfriend is in a comic book club and he was reading the new Venom comic and looked at me and went, man, Venom's just Aura Maxing. And I looked at him like he had 12 heads similarly and said what the fuck does that mean? Because the first few times he said it, I like ignored him because it hurts. It was just like, you know?

5:06 One one of my. 13 heads hurts and it was very upsetting and he actually sat down and systematically explained to me what aura maxing meant and was showing me like pictures and was like this is what people mean when they say aura Max and I was like. Oh, and he's like. And this is what they mean when they say aura farming. And I was like, oh. I've heard of farming. I've heard of farming, not maxing, I mean. And even then I sit there because I'm a witch and I go. What? No, exactly. Because that's that's what I think.

5:37 Of when you sit there and talk about aura. I'm sitting here literally thinking of the actual aura that surrounds. People. Well, that's your. You could be actually. You're not wrong technically. You're not wrong technically, because aura farming I'm going to use. You know what? I'm going to use Dragon Ball as an exam. Please do. Oh God, this is the example that was used. For me, even for people. Out there that that are just probably around our same age range and also. Emotional you guys. Talking about I hate it.

6:06 You what? I'm pretty sure a lot of the people that are listening in probably know who the hell Piccolo is. Yes, from Dragon Ball. If you don't, have you been living under a rock for the last like 40 years? Like are you? Yes. If anybody remembers the original like clips of like anytime, Piccolo would be like just coming into the scene and he's just standing over the hilltop. Yeah, this was the picture just. Arms crossed, chilling. There. The wind blowing on his Cape and just, you know, and we're talking about like, legs together, arms crossed, Cape blowing in the wind, just looking all fucking cool and shit like that right there is like aura farming, right?

6:55 Yeah. It's just like you're just getting that sort of like energy. Just like damn. So basically aura farming is just a fancy way of saying main character energy. Piccolo's not main character though. I. Shut the fuck up. I know, I'm just saying. Main character energy, yeah. Like. Yeah, you could say that in the sense like. Building like their, what's the word, like visibility, Visibility kind of so like building up there like, oh, I'm so cool. Wait. So does that mean every time we put out a podcast are we aura farming?

7:30 No. No. Are we aura maxing? No. So we just suck at aura anything. No, I think I. Wouldn't say that. Well, we don't need to aura farm because we already have great aura yes, you know we already have that built into our being. So we don't need to aura farm very much. And I was laughing the whole time. Crimson, because that's literally the picture that Ralph showed me was a piccolo. Piccolo is a. Prime example. He knows I like Dragon Ball and he was like trying to find an example and that's what he showed me was Piccolo on the on the mountain with his arms crossed.

8:05 Piccolo is Forever will be a prime example of aura farming there. I know other people can show but honestly aura farming started around that time. I don't give a fuck.

8:19 Pancakes were all my discoveries this past week since you were all stuck with me leading in the episode so now y'all get to know what I need. To know because obviously my old ass, because I'm older than both of you is sitting here going wait. Like I still use. Do you know how long it took me to use Stan? I literally just stop it, OK? But now I must know what did. What did you use? I dig it. Amazing. You know what's funny? There was. I dig it Or fuck. Me. Who do you dig? No, like there was, oh, I dig that.

8:56 Or it was, fuck, there was so many things back in the day like yo radical, there was like, you know, that kind of shit. Radical. Dude, no. It's like, dude, that's fucking radical. I love that. Like, fuck you. I'm showing my age, right? I hate you. OK, but I hope everyone knows that Crimson is doing like the, you know, like the hang hang like hang hang piece of shit Red. He's doing. It. He's like losing his shit, right? Now I don't give a shit. That shit was fucking radical, dude. Like literally he's a fish from SpongeBob.

9:30 I hope everyone knows this reference. I don't know this. Oh, it's hilarious. There's a fish that constantly shows up on the beach in SpongeBob, and that's exactly what he does. No, I hate you both so much. No, but no, I will say this, no, I've never used. I've never even used the term Stan ever. Like Nah. Oh, you've used cap on me. I don't want to hear it. You. See. Oh no, like stop the cap, of course. What the fuck? I didn't even know what that. Was I know I was like. Stop Cap. I'm sitting there and I'm going Why are you referencing Captain America to me?

10:00 I mean what is happening? Like, I know Stan because I was so involved with the Tumblr community and that was the language of the Tumblr community. I don't. I don't. I'm not on Tumblr. I don't do the Tumblr thing. I don't do the red Tumblr. Still exists, yes. It does, but I don't think like I haven't used Tumblr since like my early fandom days. I. Have not used Tumblr since 2012. I probably stopped using Tumblr around the same time, maybe 20/15/2016. No, I'm serious like you guys. The the the Gen.

10:32 Z fucking language does not compute to my millennial brain because honestly it's just like the like fucking. I still to this day sit there and go what the fuck is the Skippity toilet? Oh, I have no idea what that is. OK, I straight up and showing a joke behind it. I do not understand. I don't understand the joke behind it, but I know where it comes from at least. Like the model of the Skippy toilet. Yeah, it comes from fucking Half life. OK but here's my other question is what the fuck is this new thing where they're like what, 69 or whatever like?

10:59 It's like a meme that went on. Like all I know is that it was a meme on TikTok 69. Back in Monday. And it somehow became a thing that I don't understand. 69 was a fucking position in. Sex. That's what I know. OK, so I'm like, why are these kids saying it? Like and the other thing is is like, I know I'll go. When I lived in in England, fucking another slang would call somebody crazy as they were all sixes and sevens. I love that. I kind of want, I want to bring that back. You would. Literally would turn around and be like oh that bird was all sixes and sevens.

11:32 She fought nuts. I love that. Like that's how we would describe somebody as being crazy when I lived over there. And that's something that's been around since like the 60s. I do love that. Like, you know, so that when they were like 069, I'm like, are they talking about Takashi 69 like. I really hope they're not talking about fucking at like 10 years old, that would really scare me. And funnily enough, I was just talking the other day about how like modern kids scare me and they're terrified. I'm terrified of them.

12:02 And one of the reasons being is OK, I'm very picky about my makeup that I get. You can only, I go to Sephora pretty often because it's the one place that sells like near me that sells the specific makeup that I used. So I'll literally go into Sephora. And it had come up because I was at a dinner and I was like, these kids scare me that like literally like they're, they're out here shopping at Sephora for a lip liner. Meanwhile, my mother, the only makeup she would let me use was like Neutrogena concealer stick from CBS that only costs like 5 bucks.

12:36 And I'm like these kids. And what's even scarier is these kids probably know more about these makeup products that I'm buying than I do. Thanks, TikTok. Thanks and. YouTube and makeup influencers. But like, no, no, no, OK to circle back, all right, because I had to literally Google my old stuff because it's been so long since I've used it because I went back and I was like, what is what are fucking some of the things that we used to say in the early 2000s that like were popular slang that people would not hear now, and I still use this.

13:08 I go, that's hot. Yeah, I say that pretty often. But it also got retooled by the LGBT community very heavily. It did. Like it's been really revived by that community for sure. And then one of the other things like Snoop Dogg used to say back in the day was faux shizzle and faux shizzy. I can't imagine people saying that we did in common conversation. We did like, honestly, if something was like really cool, it was the bomb. Yes, I remember. That's a big one if. Something if it was really cool and stylish, it was tight, like, oh, that's tight.

13:36 That yeah, yeah, if it was extremely cool, well, it was oh, that's sick. I still say that if it was unbelievable crazy or wild, it was off the hook, you know, fat PHATS, you know, And then like if somebody would be like, yo, that's mad sketch. That's sketchy. I don't like that. I say that a lot. I think, I think, you know what's funny, I think people still use Sketchy is that they just don't shorten it as that sketch. Yeah, actually not. It could depend. It could depend. Yeah, and then like, my bad.

14:06 Oh, I say that constantly. Everybody says that like, you know, there was like as if talk to the hand, take a chill pill psych, you know, like all that shit, like these are back. This is what I would say kind of shit. Calling somebody that, you know, that guy's a scrub. I think that's so hilarious because for the longest time I didn't know what that meant, but I loved that song. Yeah, I don't want no scrub and it like I had. Literally what it was about. I literally had to Google it because I was like I listen to this song all the time.

14:35 And what I mean, this is what I mean they. Didn't realize scrub they're referring to male nurses. No OK a scrub is the guy that can't get no love from me. Fuck off. But no, like these are like I would refer to people as peeps, you know? That's my piece. I was kind of in that age group too. Like people still said that. Awesome sauce. Same with that. That became really because boy bands would say it. Yes, Luke. Like there used to be a boy band. I mean, there's still a boy band, there's still a band together, but they had originally been more of a traditional boy band.

15:08 And they used to go buy Five Sauce, which was like, what the fuck? A like shoot off of Awesomesauce because their name was 5 Seconds of Summer. And when you shortened it, it was 5SOS and if you read it phonetically it was Five Sauce. Yeah, like, OK, so like, here's the thing. Like who's your bias? We would just be like, are you a fan? You a fanboy, you fan girl. Like, yeah, like I was so confused. Like, and this girl was so sweet and. But she was obviously like 16, you know, So like, she was looking at me like, how do you not know what that means?

15:41 And I was looking at her like, what the fuck are you talking about? You know what The funny thing is, is like Gen. Z is trying to sit there and say that they've created like this whole new language. But honestly, most of you just took what we were already saying as millennials in the early 2000s and late 90s, and we were. And you just like fucking oh, we improved it. No, the fuck you didn't. Know we did it, we just used it in like slightly different ways and or we kind of like created our own culture, right?

16:03 But people are still talking about it. People still say that they throw shade that's from the 2000s early 2000s and eat shit. Or like, spill the tea. Oh here we go, twenty 20s Gen. Z slang. Bet I say that all the fucking time. Cap is a lie if you were choogie. What? Out of date. I've never heard that in my entire. Life. So me talking about early 2000 slangs would be choogie. Because it's out of date. Strange dislike. Drip, which is literally what we used. To know what that means, I don't get. That's literally what.

16:34 We used to say on fleek. Like I would never say drip because I just hate that word but like I just think it sounds strange and it sounds weird coming out of my mouth but like I know what it means. Yeah, you know, a lot of this, like we still use tea, we use heat because you know, J so. Yeah, of course, I mainly only use it for. Right, but it was something that we used to use like, you know, like come on, man. And what you're bias my bio like? I was so confused. Do you know that bias? Bias literally is, is defined as something you don't like.

17:10 Like I'm biased against that. I'm I'm, I'm I don't like this for this reason or I'm heavily influenced by this. Or you could like exactly on the on the flip side, which is why I was so confused because when I think of bias, I think like literary, right? I think I have a bias towards a certain thing. And I was like, but you don't really use it for like a person. So I was like, so confused. I was like, what is going on? Where am I? And like, honestly, my brother Brendan, like this is going to make us feel even older.

17:40 Was born in 2002. Who are you? So like he's like with older than her, but like still technically within like that age group of like when they got into twice. So he knew what she was talking about. Jesus Christ. And so he thought it was hilarious, which I can't blame him. OK, He spends like right now his rotation is in neurosurgery. So I literally bought him a drink because I was like, you had a look at someone's brain today. I like, you know, under like in surgery, I think you really need a drink.

18:06 I. Think you really need some alcoholic beverage? Exactly. So like. It was pretty funny and it really made me laugh and it got me thinking of just like even things that I say. I like notice that I mimic my parents more than I like mimic my generation of slang, unless it was like online Internet slang because I didn't really have like a group of friends before. Like, and I would say my true friends really didn't come into my life until I was like around college age, so like 1920. But like what my one of my friends was from high school, but I didn't really have a friend group until college.

18:44 That makes sense. And most of my friends are older than me. So it's kind of like, like, you know, my partner teases me because I'll say things like certain things and he's like, what are you talking about? I mean, we use like like it's going out of. Stock. There's that. I'll admit I do it. I hate that I do. I say valid all the time. You do. It's like my favorite word to say. I don't know why it is, but I just is. Just is. Like there is. I'll go schmutz. But that's like a Jewish. Yeah, so apparently I say a lot of Jewish words.

19:18 We all do. It's like vernacular in New York. Exactly. So it was hilarious. We all grew up watching The Nanny. The nanny So when me and my partner started dating, he thought I was Jewish because he was putting the things together. He was like Forest Hills. And I was saying things like smooch, like, like, like, you know, all sorts of like, I can't even think off the top of my head, but things I was saying that were like Jewish vernacular, which is very common in New York. Yes, it is. And he was like, I guess trying to figure it out.

19:48 And he was like, you're not Jewish. I'm like, I'm not Jewish. Crimson, would you say that you have that? You have some certain slang that was probably popular more like in Jersey growing up than it would have been in New York.

20:07 Not really all that much honestly. I mean, I'm pretty sure there is, I just never used it. OK. Personally. Like like what? I don't. I don't really know it, like I'd have to dig on the list, but if you if you were to ask me a few years back, I'll probably remember it. Off the top of my head. I don't remember it. That's fine, that's OK, but we know what it is now. Like Crimson's guys are always saying to me, stop the cap. And I'm like, I'm not even lying though. I unironically say okie dokie. So do I even before like fallout came out.

20:44 That's the other thing that my partner thinks is so funny, is I use the slang from Fallout or the slang that's presented in Fallout. Yeah. Which is a huge reason why I want to cosplay Lucy McLean. As you should. Because when we had first started talking about the show, you were like, Oh my God, she reminds me of you because all she does, okey dokey, okey dokey. And I say it constantly and then do that. Had to be like my mom said it or something. I just always heard like, like me, I don't say okey dokey.

21:12 I say okey, because that's just always been something. I don't even remember where I heard that. I've been using it since like I was junior high school. Maybe like just Okies, you know, like Okie, you know, or Okie Dokie, you know. I just, it's just, I don't know where it came from. I just said it one day and it never went away. Just stayed. Forever, like, and then there's things I remember that people said that I'm like really happy, kind of like fell off the map like Biffle I fucking hated. Oh, you're my Biffle.

21:42 I fucking hated that. That made me want to gouge my own eyes out and like, I don't know if that makes me sound pretentious. Best friend for life. It was like, it used to really bug me. And then there was another one that people used to say about their significant others and it was like better than any other or something. And it was a shortening of it. Better than any other. And it used to drive me crazy. I don't even know what you mean. It was so weird like you know ello like love of my life I think is fine like lol lol.

22:14 Like fine whatever but most people be like why did you misspell lol. Yeah. And I'm like Oh well that's not what I meant but thanks I guess for calling me out it. Still makes the IT still makes me laugh because a lot of that is original. Like chat room, yes, slang which 90% of these fucking kids don't even realize. Like if I turn around and I say ASL to you, what do you think that means? American Sign Language. No. Yeah, I would have thought the same thing. It means age, sex, location. Well, yeah, no.

22:42 Literally what we used to say to each other in chat rooms. It's not American Sign Language. I mean it is, but ASL is age, sex, location. If I turned around and I answered you and I, I would say undisclosed age, female, NYC, that's how you would answer. And if somebody says AFK, what does that mean you? Away from keyboard. Yeah. That's exactly what I was. Gonna say like I have no idea. Poor labs like. What? That's again that, but AFK that's mostly. Gamer speak. Yeah. Not just gamer speak PC Gamer speak.

23:18 Yes, cuz AF. World of Warcraft. Cuz AFK doesn't apply to console players cuz then it have to be away from controller and not keep. Yes. I remember what it was, BAE. I hated that word. If any, I would literally tell people, don't freaking call me that. I'd be like, if you ever call me that, then like it's over. You know what's? Funny, I hated. It would you like to hear it? When that fucking word first started coming around and someone's like, oh, you're my BAE. I'm like, why are you? I'm not a sheep.

23:48 Yeah, like, what the fuck? They were like, what? I'm like BAE, thank you. And they're like, you like what I'm like. That's what a sheep makes. That's the sound a sheep makes BAE. And they're like, you're the weirdest fuck. I'm like, I know, but that's why you call me the goat. Greatest of all time bitches. Even though, even though Crimson actually is a goat. Yes, no, I'm sorry. Lux and I are in full agreement. You're a goat. So, Crimson, how did you come across the fact that you were a goat? Was it the horns?

24:18 The Billy beard? I. Have no clue.

24:24 No, Lux fully believes that his spirit animal is a goat. I love that because. He's stubborn, temperamental, but he can be a lot of fun and silly if you actually get him in the right mood. And of course, obviously just the way that he is sometimes where he just goes. I completely love that and I don't want anyone in Phoenix Nation to let it go. And I feel like everyone, whenever Crimson post something on the socials, please post like a little emoji of a goat. It'll make me really happy. It'll make me feel like you really, truly listened in this week's episode.

24:58 What? The. Fuck I hate you so much. Yeah, they used to make me want to vomit and I'm so happy we've all collectively generally stopped using it. It really, really bugged me. I would not say we collectively do. I don't use it. That's all that matters. They've. Seen a lot of people still use it. They do still use it. That's not as popular just. Not as like used. In the Yeah, Because it used to be like the only way you referred to someone you were going out with in high school, and it used to drive me insane.

25:40 Like, not that anyone went out with me in high school. Literally not what we used back when my day. I really didn't like what was. The other thing that I need to get used to is a lot of people, I've realized just in general talk in acronyms. I don't really talk in acronyms. So it took a long time for me to explain to my partner that he would like send me things like why day and I would stare at my phone for like 45 minutes. What and be like what on good fuck does this mean dude? And I was like did he misspell something like what does this mean?

26:14 And finally we were sitting together like and I was like. Aren't you what is the same age? He's a year older than me. But you have like, I really just, I never really used acronyms like, you know, not to be mean to myself. I didn't really have like a core group of friends before the age of like 20. So it was like, and my few friends I had before that core age of 20, like didn't talk in acronyms either. Like my very close friend Sid never uses acronyms unless they're lol or LMAO. So I would stare at these text messages, especially as we first started dating and I'd be like, what does this mean?

26:49 Like is, is this a but text? Like did he misspell something? He does misspell a lot of things like not to put him on blast but like he does. So he'll be like, oh, did he just like misspell something or did it auto correct? And it took a lot of courage for me to ask what why they meant. Can we bring you know what? Honestly, I'm looking at a. Website that has like means yesterday obviously like the. Top 20 slang words from different eras. I'm looking at this just because like. I got. Curious and so here's some 19 let's go back.

27:24 Hold on, the 1920s slang examples that like honestly I have heard used still to this day is Bee's knees. I love saying bee's knees. It's the bee's. Knees. It's the bee's knees I still say that I don't give. Shit I love it. I know someone that tattooed 2 bees on her knees. And then there's the cat's meow. I do love the cat's meow. I don't say it, but I love when other people do. What, just walk by that shit a little too fast? The fact that she says she has a friend who tattoo bees on her knees. Because they're the bee's knees.

28:00 Sorry about that. A little funny. It's called a hustle, sweetheart. The. Best thing I've ever heard in my entire life. One of the things that I think maybe we should bring back maybe is blotto it. Means I love blotto when you're not too drunk. Extremely drunk. Yeah, we love blotto in this house. They have Dapper, they have Doll. I love Dapper, I use it all the time. Ducky. Which is charming or delightful? That's Ducky. Can we please start calling people talking again? Please I still use this like like just for jokes and you know, for shits and gigs which hey, guess what is slang?

28:33 Gams, which means legs, especially a women's legs. Like look at them gams. Look at them gams. Giggle water, which is obviously, you know, alcohol beverage, the heebie jeebies, which is very anti-Semitic. So we don't use them anymore. I didn't know that. Thank you for telling me. That was it. Well hold on, I didn't catch that. What was anti-Semitic? Heebie jeebie. Because I. Because people, people would call Hebrews Hebes, so they stop. It's so we don't use that word anymore. Thank you for for telling me that because I didn't know that and I say it like a lot.

29:08 Yeah. So maybe change that? Yeah, because I'd be like, oh, this thing gave me, gave me the heebie jeebies. I had no idea. Well, that is good for me to know now. Some people find it offensive now. It's the same way that you can't use Gypsy. Oh OK, well I am now logging that in my brain to go along with that. So like hooch, I still say hooch. Like yo, let me get some hooch. Like who doesn't love saying hooch? It's. Illicit liquor, Jake, I don't know about that one. That means OK or fine. Never heard that ever.

29:34 Not. Even in like a 1920s. Movie ever in by existence. That had to be a very specific. Looks like people used it in specific social. I think so. Or I'm Jake. Like that's your name. Like I watch a lot of movies. I've never heard that in the 20s movie in my life. Keen Which? Means keen. Attractive or appealing? I love Keen, I use that a lot. Mall. Which is a gangster's girlfriend? A petting party which is a social gathering for kissing and light making out. This I did know and the reason why is there's a great line in a song from the rock hero picture show in Touch Touch touch me when she says heavy petting.

30:13 Scram, which obviously everybody's heard. Yeah, everyone's heard SCRAM Speakeasy. We know what that. Is we love a good Speakeasy? And whoopee, which you know, everybody goes. Whoopee, like who doesn't love that word? But like, I would be very embarrassed by myself if I ever used it in a public. Like I'd probably cry a little. So then the 20s have some takeaways that are still used. Now let's go into the 30s, which is a great compression. Everybody was there all wet, which means is everything's completely wrong.

30:41 Oh well, I really like that. And that was not what I thought that meant. Yeah, like it's all wet. It's completely wrong. I kind of love that we can bring that back big. House which obviously is prison. Yep, bumps. Whispers or rumors like oh, they have bumps. Oh, kind of like how we feel like goosebumps. Yeah, I like that. OK. Cactus which is dead or finished. Crazy, but like makes sense. A cat, which is a cool cat, you know? Cat like that cool cat sitting at the end of the the lavender nest. Somebody would be really cheesed or cheesed off, which is angry or annoyed.

31:14 Oh. When I think of cheese, I think of like, silly. Yeah, he's real cheesy. Yeah, but this one when you're cheesed off. You're pissed off. Interesting. OK. Crumb, which is a despicable person, a darb, which is something or someone who's wonderful, a dish, which is an attractive woman. AG Man, which is the FBI agent. Yes, I say. I do know. Hard boiled, which is tough or unemotional. Hard boiled I still hear a lot. I even use hard boiled. Hooey. Which is nonsense. Yeah, I might say that a lot. Moxie, which is courage or nerve?

31:48 That's another thing I say A. Patsy, which everybody knows what a Patsy. Everybody knows what a Patsy is. Ritzy, obviously. You know what that is? Yep, Sacco. It means impressive or powerful. That is the funniest word I've ever heard for impressive and powerful in my entire life. And then you have Yeg, which was a safecracker or a burglar. Yeah, these are the 30s. People. OK, so let's think like we're going on from the 30s. I feel like maybe I use a bigger percentage of the 30s slang in more regular language.

32:18 Yeah, I've heard a lot of the 20s slang. I use some of it, but I use more of the 30s. Yeah, I think it's just because it's like collective memory, yeah, at this point. So going into the 40s now, we're going into like World War 2 era, stuff like that. We have a one which is excellent or first class. Yes, I did know. Applesauce, which is nonsense or flattery, beat feet, which is to leave quickly. Beat feet. Beat feet. Like BEAT Yeah. BEAT like I'm going to beat feet. I'm going to leave quickly. I kind of love that, OK.

32:51 The big cheese, which we all know what that. Is yes, like that was like the cheese I was thinking of. You know what I mean? You know who thinks he's a big cheese? Crimson. Crimson thinks he's a big cheese. I'm. A big cheese. Yeah, here you are, sitting on your throne here on the big orange cat throne of the Lavender Nest. Couch do you mean? Laying or sitting or. Lounging, lounging. Lounging would probably be a better word that I can that I. Can lounging on your you? We have to you have to understand something with our Crimson if you do not have a certain precision of language.

33:24 They'll talk about their. Brain. Their brain literally breaks down and forces you to go back and explain exactly what you mean. Or they'll talk over you saying that what they're saying is so much better because it's more accurate. Nah. So this so there's a reason why I do that because. You're crazy. Well, we're talking about language today. You might as well. You might as well. Because there's there's a reason why I do that is because there's a very what I tend to see a lot with people in conversation.

33:51 They can even be with altercations too. Some people take what another person says the wrong way. Out of context. Out of context and didn't understand what they meant. That's why I always try to make sure because like, clarify what you said. Please clarify what you said. Did you meant? Did you like or I'll even say it's like you. So you're saying this, but did you mean it in this sort of context? Yes, No. OK, like that's that's why I do that. OK. As a neurodivergent, I can actually fully understand.

34:26 Same, because I also will be like, did you say it the way I'm interpreting that you're saying it or did you say it in a different way so that I'm not misunderstanding you? Exactly. Or I get worried depending someone misunderstands me. And sometimes depending on the people that I'm around with, like if it's someone that I'm not really cool with like that, not saying that I hate them, but I'm just like, I'm not cool with them like that. Acquaintances. Exactly. Acquainty. I won't even specify as like, is this what you meant?

34:56 I'll be like, no, no. Can you explain what you're what you Can you explain a little better what you're trying to say? Go again. That's. Roughly, take, do another take. Explain what you're trying to tell me. Here, which sometimes can come off as aggressive, but it's actually not. It's really. Just a vibe to be like, I want to make sure I understand you. I want to make sure you're understanding me. And then if it is offensive, then I'm going to act accordingly. That that's exactly my point. Too. Or if I accidentally said something, I want to be able to apologize and be like, oh I misunderstood.

35:26 Or I meant it. Yeah, there's and I want you to know that I fucking meant it. I'll, I'll. It's like, I hope you know, and. I got ways. I got ways to even do it because if. I don't give away all your secrets, of course. Exactly. But I have ways to kind of twist that in a way where it's just like, it's not, it doesn't come off aggressive. So it's more just like I want to make sure I'm catching exactly how you're trying to be right now. Without, without. Like it's almost like. Catching no. Catching.

35:58 He's sitting up. Sitting up. Catching the tiger literally by its toe and then yanking it and be like I caught you now. The suave man of mystery. I'm from fucking Florida. Correct. Well, not from fucking Florida, but like, I lived in fucking Florida. So back to original thing, there is Blockbuster, which we still use today. That's a huge success. Originally it was a large bomb that was used in the war bombshell. Which is an. Extremely attractive woman. Also makes sense. Bomb rap, which people still use today.

36:31 Chicken. Chicken. I do love saying that your chicken. Say cool, saying it's cool. Love saying it's cool. Crummy. Yeah, I say crummy a lot. Ducky made a resurgence in the 40s after the 20s. Flip your wig. I love that. Which is to lose control gobbledygook which I still. Fucking do I say gobbledygook all the time? Yeah, Jive, which was related to jazz culture. Killer Diller. Excellent or impressive. Lush, A habitual consumer of alcohol. A pad, which is a place to live. Your peepers, which were your eyes.

37:07 Slick, which is smooth or impressive? And that word. Snap your cap, which was to lose your temper. Also love that phrase. So that was the 40s. Now we're in the 50s where, you know, America was zinging. We digress. We know how we feel. We do on this podcast.

37:29 No, hey baby. Anyways. But again, there are slang here that I still use today. Ankle biter, which is a small child. This one is cool and I kind of want to bring it back. Which one backseat? Bingo. It means to make out in a car. I love that. Like cruisin for a bruisin. I love cruisin for a bruisin. So many people have said, I mean, come on, if you watched Happy Days, you know most of these things. If you watched. Grease. You know these fucking? These words obsessed with grease. Like I'm talking like I had to watch that grease tape like once a week.

38:02 I was obsessed with it and I still am. I would cry if I got to see grease live. RIP Olivia. Newton, John, we miss you. Daddio obviously you know the man or dude decked out. I still say that I'm getting. Decked out. I'm getting decked out. Dig to understand, I dig it. Yeah, we were just talking about dull, how that made a resurgence for you. Dullesville Dullesville makes boring, hip, cooler, stylish. Yeah, I say hip a lot. Hip to be square. Yeah, hopped up under the influence, knuckle sandwich, punch in the face, made in the shade is successful or assured of success.

38:40 Necking, which is kissing and making out a pad. Obviously someone's house or apartment and threads are closed. We still use these terms and these are from the 50s. These are very common. I feel like these. Are more. These are from 70 years ago and we still use. Them like these are like, because when I think about it and we think of our generation, right, like this is like that's like our grandparents. My mom. And your mom? Like no, it would be like the 50s because my mom was born in 58 so my my older uncles who are no longer with us and my grandmother.

39:10 Exactly, like I feel like that's where we as human beings probably heard them most often and how they like, made their way down. The Boomers heard the slang and it became part of their language identity. And then they passed it down to our, to Gen. X, and Gen. X passed it down, you know, Gen. X, you know, gave it to millennials. Exactly like we kind of have like it's like the the equal thread through like that little like, you know, like that whole like red thread theory that everything is like connected to something because it is.

39:43 Even though it's commonly used for the idea of soul mates, I think it can be also used in linguistics. There's like a red thread through. There's a lot of how we speak. There's a route to almost like every single language, like there's the come on. So now we're in the 60s. Oh this will be fun. Then, and I actually still hear and use some of these myself, Bogart, which is to hog something usually a joint and being a former pothead, quote UN quote, former pothead. Current people, people would say Bogart like why you Bogart in the blunt?

40:20 Why you Bogart in the blunt? So yeah, bread, which is money far out. Come on. Let's go get this bread the fuzz. You know the police? Groovy, Hang loose a hippie. You know jazzed, which is excited or thrilled? I love saying jazzed, I say. Jazzed, so jazzed like lay it on me, which is I taste. I say that. I say that constantly. Mellow, which is relaxed and calm out of sight, which is like, you know, excellent, amazing peace out obviously goodbye righteous which is excellent or genuine split to leave like hey, you want to split because we say that still yeah all the time and to trip a drug induced experience or a strange situation like yo, you tripping.

41:06 Yeah, like, I mean, definitely still use because people talk about having like trip partners. Yeah, a trip, buddy. Yes, exactly A trip, buddy. Yeah. Any of this ringing a bell for you, buddy? Because now we're now. Now we're heading into Gen. X. Territory we're we're getting in deep. We're digging in our heels. I mean it's it's sounding. Some of those I've used before. I've heard. You use them, it's called. How old do you feel today? 50. Probably I feel 65 at all times. I mean, I'm in my 40s and I still look like I'm in my 20s.

41:45 Hey, that's the dream. List and this is without no surgical in no no, no Botox, no nothing. All natural. Which is funny because I was actually little side tangent here. I was talking to a friend of the Phoenix Gate the other night and we were sharing photographs from back in the day of, you know, one of the many social scenes that I've been in for 20 something years. And I sent her a picture of me at 17. I am 17 years old, and I was headed to one of the parties, which I should not have been at because I was obviously underage.

42:21 Yeah, she took one. She takes one look at that photograph, and she goes, you know, if you didn't have braces, I would think that's you now. The only difference is your hair color. I was like, yeah, I know. She's like, how do you still look the same way as you did at 17 years old? She's like maybe a little bit more rounded in the face, you know, obviously like a little bit more rounded. Younger round, not like fat round. No like young round like that little baby fat in your cheeky tiny. Tiny little bit and she was like, it's the only way that I know that it's that you're not the same age as now.

42:52 And I go, OK, well here's a picture of me at 21. She goes, you look the fucking bitch how I was like. It comes from being a good human and having good outside, good insides your good outsides follow and good genes. Your mom looks very young too. She does, and she's pushing 70. Yeah, I would never. If I didn't know your family personally, I would not think that. Yeah, I just, by any stretch, I just outed my mother. 'S age. She's going to kill me. Sorry, we love you. No we don't, Mom. Just accept it.

43:20 You're aging gracefully like people still think you're in your 50s. Deal with it. Like not even I initially when I first met her I thought she was like 45. Seriously, even my grandmother who managed to get to 90 years old, OK before she died, I think she was like, yeah, she was like around 90 when she passed away and Bill did not look like she was that old. My grandmother was also impeccable, impeccable in her style. Like to this day people still talk about how stylish my grandmother is. Like my grandmother was one of those women that even if we were just going to the diner for a burger, she wore a fucking full length fur.

43:58 Coat. I love this for her. Had to have her weekly session at the beauty parlor to get her hair done and her signature poof like she I used to tease her and call it her bubble hair. Oh, because she used to have the. Perm she used to have the perm even like and it did not matter, she always had the perm. But even I seen pictures of my grandmother back in like the 50s, back in the 40s when she was super young before my mom was born. But she was first started dating my grandfather and when they first started getting married, she had that beautiful Bob that they all had back then.

44:29 Always stylish, always, always on point with fashion. So like, honestly, I think it's just good genes. And also just like, like, as you were saying that I was like, that's the amount of effort I want to put into myself every single day. Yeah. I feel like really caring about yourself also brings you a lot of youth. You know, the more you care about yourself and others, it really reflects in what you look like. It does. It does. Like, like I said, like I'm very blessed that way. And I think that's another reason why I'm kind of stuck on using language from 20 years ago.

45:00 Yeah, because that's just where my brain is. I, I mean, for lack of a better term, yes, I'm fully aware of what year it is. I'm fully aware of what's going on in the world. I I have all of my faculties, but I long for the days 20 years ago. And if I'm using a little bit of outdated slang helps me feel just this monochrome better in today's hellscape, I'm going to do that. I totally get it because my comfort stuff like growing up when I didn't have that big group of friends and I didn't really go out and I was home alone, like the things I watched most commonly were on TV Land.

45:38 Like I used to love the monsters. That was my big one, The Addams Family. I watched a lot of Seinfeld. So it makes sense that most of my language was all like 90s slang. It was slang from like the 30s forties from that original Addams Family, The Munsters television shows. Was it really the 60s? Oh my gosh, that's wild. But like, those were the things I watched Twilight Zone. So for me, those little comfort mornings of watching all that stuff when it they actually used to show like much older shows on TV Land.

46:10 Now they show things from the 2000s and it makes me like want to cry. But because I love The Big Bang Theory and the fact they show The Big Bang Theory on TV Land and I watched it from when it first came out makes me feel very old. But it also makes me happy that there's constant reruns. But I feel like that's why my language got stuck in a certain place and I did a lot of reading, you know what I mean? So anything I took in from like books I was reading, I would use in like normal vernacular that maybe like people in my social circle who did certain things together and did certain activities would have never really normally used in their language.

46:46 What about you, Crimson? Do you find yourself using language from a bygone age? I guess from, I mean a lot of like the older and sometimes some of the words that I use right now kind of comes from, from back in the early 2000s too as well. Because around that time my sister was still hanging around, OK, So she was still, she was still living us with us and stuff. So a lot of like the slang and stuff like that I would usually get from her a lot and from, you know, hanging out with her friends and stuff like that.

47:24 So, and I mean, a lot of the slang and stuff that I would usually do, I kind of just picked up from school. Honestly, more than anything.

47:36 For me it wasn't really too much on TV shows or just based off of the people I hung out with or hung around with mostly. OK. But yeah. What about like you speak fluent Portuguese? Is there any like Portuguese? Slang. You just read my mind. I was just about asked. But. Is there like slang that you use that's only for Portuguese or? You know what it is? No, there is, but I don't use it. The main reason being is because I rent. I hang out around most of the time. If I'm talking Portuguese, I'm talking to an old head.

48:12 OK? They don't talk slang like that. Old head. And that's a slang. That's a slang word. Well, yeah, I'm calling talking saying old head as like anybody. An elder. Anybody who's like 50 and up? Well OK, but even if you talk to your friends who speak Portuguese, do you ever use slang? No, because they're fucking lazy. They're like, dude, why don't you talk Portuguese? It's like, why? I'm just like, this is our language. It's like, yeah, but it's just like, I'm like. OK, why don't you, Grace? Them prefer just to talk English, that's fine.

48:48 Why don't you just grace the Phoenix nation with a Portuguese slang word? I, I don't know, that's the thing. I don't know them. Oh, that's what I'm saying. I don't. I never got the chance to learn Portuguese slang because I only hang around old heads. OK, I misunderstood. Yeah, I apologize. Yeah, I apologize. Yeah, no, it's just I, I just hang around old heads mostly, so I don't really know the. I can tell you, I can tell you some bastardized Italian slang that you know, any Nuyorican put, you know a fake Italian.

49:23 Well, not fake, but you know what I mean. Like. Like stay Americanized Italian like would say like. I mean, anything I've heard in The Sopranos, probably. You know, so like I'm saying like there's things like you're stugots, you know, it means you're stupid or something like that, or or stunad. It means you're an idiot or a Buffalo, but it means what the fuck is wrong with you, you fucking bitch. Like OK, but I love that so much. And yes, I've heard it in this Sopranos. Because you've heard me say it.

49:51 Yep, you. Know it's funny that you talk about Sopranos. You know, I learned that one of the the OR parts of the scenes that they actually filmed over there was actually in Jersey. Yeah, Yes, it was. I know where it was. OK, so we're going on field trap. Been there. A Phoenix Gate field trap. He. It's literally in Bloomfield, NJ. There was a small little restaurant, nothing crazy. I know exactly what you're talking. About nothing. Look, nothing really crazy. It would dude, it's in and I'm going to use some slang right now.

50:24 It was in the cut like I could not. You could drive past it a million times and you would not even noticed it. Nice. That's that's how, that's how hidden that and it's not even like, oh, like you got a lot of buildings. No, it doesn't stand out well enough. So it, it's hilarious because I, I was, you know, I was sitting in it because I was, I was hanging out with a friend and we, because he was talking, he wanted to do like a Commission and stuff. So he's just like, oh, you know what, let's let's go grab dinner or whatever and you know, we'll talk about it while, while we, I'm like, sure, no problem.

51:00 I go there and I'm just like, why does this place feel familiar? Feels like I've seen it. And then he starts telling he's like, Oh, yeah, no, they, they, they filmed some parts of The Sopranos. The booth, I'm like. What the? The booth. Yeah. It was that diner. It was that it, it, it had to have been that diner or, or I'm not, I'm not 100% certain. I would have to double check my mind. My memory is very foggy when it comes to The Sopranos, but I know for a fact I did see it and had to have been from The Sopranos, that there was no other way.

51:31 When he started to mention he's like, yeah, The Sopranos, I'm. Like here it is. I was like that. That's where it comes from. I was thinking. I was thinking it and then he literally said it. I'm like. In fact, they actually sold the exact booth that they used for filming. So they have a new booth in there obviously, but they sold like the exact booth they used to use that'll. End up being in the Smithsonian one day. Oh, 100%. If it's like they actually just opened up a I'm very excited. Ralph and I are going to go.

51:57 They just opened an exhibit. If you if you know the whole Phoenix nation wants to come, if the whole Phoenix family wants to come at the Museum of the moving image of like sets from The Sopranos, nice. And it's very, very, very cool. And it's like talking on that though, I feel like when shows make resurgences, right, like The Sopranos has made a huge resurgence in online culture. I feel like we re pick up slang that we may not have been using but because we're re watching older television shows, Yep, we start using it again.

52:28 Well, millennials are the best with nostalgic culture, like. And Gen. XI mean, I'm about to go into Gen. X slang for that. So this would have been my mom. Yeah. This would cause like my mom, even though she's a boomer, she would have been a teenager in the 70s. Yeah. You know, she's not Gen. X. My stepdad is Gen. X. But my mom would have been using these words because during this time, you know, she would have been a teenager in early 20s or, you know, just about to be in her 20s. Anyway, so we have Boogie.

52:59 Obviously everybody knows he. Doesn't love that word. A bummer which we still use. Burnout we still use constantly. Catch you on the flip side. I say that a lot. Chill, Yep. Crash, Yep. Decked out? We still say dynamite. I love that word. Foxy ladies. Yep. We have funky groovy out of sight, psyched right on threads and veg out. And what's so great is as we've been rereading these, you can see the ones that are like re popping up, yeah, like threads has re popped up maybe through like multiple generations at this point as we've been going through.

53:38 Them. Yeah. And then now we're in the 80s now. This is when I was born. So I would not have used these, but my mom definitely would have probably been around this more and definitely like my stepdad. Yeah. Airhead. Love that one. Awesome. Shout out Honey Revenge. Airhead is like my favorite song by them. Hey, yo, Bad. Yeah, like, oh, that's bad and it's not. It doesn't mean that it's like an actual bad thing. It means it was like really good or impressive, bogus, obviously fake, bodacious, excellent, attractive or remarkable.

54:12 Cowabunga pot. Come on, teenage mutant Charles. Yeah, come on. Like who doesn't like, I mean, we know somebody. Our our Cam. He uses it constantly. Dweeb. I still. Use that word. Still use dweeb. Gnarly. Yep. Like which literally you cannot say a full sentence without having put in there Lavender, I'm calling you out. No, I'll totally admit it, which is why it's so hilarious that I'm such a lit head and when I write, I don't write how I speak, no at all. So it's really interesting when you have to actually talk to me in person and when you get a nice letter from me that's so well thought out with huge vocabulary words.

54:50 I mean mall rat literally was just talking about this on Friday with a couple of my friends about how like there's really nowhere for people to go. To even be mall rats anymore. No, because the mall. The mall is dying. It's basically like non existent. Yeah, Rad stove. Love Rad. Take a chill pill and totally like those we still. Use all stuff that I feel like just between even just the two of us, Jade we use a lot. Oh yeah, and then now we're in the 90s, so we have all that and a bag of chips. It's love that.

55:25 As if which was from clueless. Oh, of course. Bling, obviously, you know, jewelry. People still use it. I still say this is Booyah. Oh I I do really like Booyah. I never use it in actual language, but I love when other people do the bomb. Love when other people say that. Dope. Yeah, I say that a lot. Fly. I love when other people use it. I hardly use it. I don't. I used to use it more. What about you? Not too much, no. Fresh. I like fresh. There's a lot of people do tend to still use that. Get jiggy.

55:58 Get jiggy with it. I I never caught me dead saying that. A homie. Oh yeah. Kicking. Kicking. My bad, still use. It I use my bad constantly. No duh, I use that literally every single fucking day. You do, you do. Not not. Oh, OK, OK. I needed to hear it in context to be like what? Like what are you talking about? Like that is, I would say that's Wayne's World. Yes, OK. Yeah, yeah, I'm getting the picture. They even used it in like Lizzie McGuire. Totally not yes yeah. Fat, which is like, you know, excellent or stylish.

56:40 Give props. Oh yes, yes, a scrub, but we just talked about that earlier. Psych, which is used to indicate one was joking. Yeah, it's like, oh, Psych, nevermind. Or that's tight. We still use that, Yeah. And what's up? I mean, who doesn't still use that I? Literally, like, come on man. Now we're in the 2000s, so this is my slang. Or at least what would have been popular when I was, you know, a teenager. BFF best friend forever. I don't mind that one so much. If I ever hear Biffle again, I'll I'll sue.

57:18 But I do like that one. I can live with that. It's pain and suffering. Pain and suffering please and thanks. Bootylicious God thanks Beyoncé. Oh, it's popularized because Destiny's Child saying that, obviously. I was going to say I was picturing like I could hear the song in. My head that is why it became slang is because of Destiny's Child in 2000. I mean, makes sense it does. A bromance? Love bromances people still. Use. Them people still use. Bromance. We love to talk about bromances. Buff. Buff OK.

57:53 Chillax, I say that. Yeah, that's a good one. The deets. Which give me the deets. Yep. You know, I mean details. Fanboy, fangirl, enthusiastic fan, Often to an obsessive degree. Like, Oh my God, you're such a fan girl. Stop faux shizzle. Faux shizzle Hella. I remember Hella making a huge resurgence in the mid 2000s. That's. Hella crazy that it did. That was like a huge thing in the mid 2000s. I just remember being in high school and people saying hella like all the time. Dude it was in an in a South Park episode where freaking Cartman just couldn't stop saying hella hella hella.

58:30 Yeah, I think I remember seeing that one too. Yeah. Holla, let me holla at you. Yeah, I know that one people. Still say that home skillet. I know that one. I would never be caught dead saying it a. Close friend Janky I still say that. Yeah, I say janky. Poor quality, unreliable like oh that's so janky newbie. Yeah. We've, we've done that.

Yeah, like it's either that or it's in regards to just generally like a type of clothes. They're like, oh, that looks real bougie. Yeah. Cancel. Yep. Obviously, cancel culture. Cancel culture big thing from our Gen. Like Oh my God, that's so extra. Like why are you being extra, right? Now that's another really big one. Fleek or on fleek? Yeah, I never liked that either. I never hate it.

1:01:20 I I was just. Like it really bugged me. No ghost, obviously. We still talk. About People still talk about it. Get ghosted. Ghosting. Come on, it's a fucking. It's like a common just language when you're talking about dating apps. Yeah, high key. Yeah, still use that. I use that a lot. Yep. Also, OK, so I was actually speaking about this with Lux the other day and we say lit a lot when we're just like excited about something, we go lit like it's lit. But we say that so unironically we don't even realize we're saying it because it's either lit that's hot or bet no valid so.

1:01:59 And I feel like a lot of these like lasted in New York probably a lot longer than maybe they've lasted. In I don't not disagree low key we still yeah, mood.

Big one or or some variations of it are I'm shooketh I'm. Shooketh. Slay, we still use that. Yeah, I mean, come on, It's literally the entire Queer Cup club culture. Hello. And then obviously throwing shade.

That's not twenty 20s, that's like so much earlier than that. No, probably twenty 20s, who knows? Wild. I remember saying that like when I was in high school. It wasn't that long ago. Yeah, but definitely not the 2020 True, true. It was like mid 20 tons cap which is. A lie? Yeah, as as Crimson had to explain to me, I'm like, what the fuck does that even make?

1:03:02 I feel like. I've probably said it wrong, I never thought that's what that meant. Neither did I. Yeah, Choogy out of date. Hate that trying too hard often describes trends that are no longer in style typically associated with millennial culture. Fuck you. Hate hate hate this. Like move on. Drip. I also really don't like drip. I don't look at that guy's drip. What, like you really have a runny nose? That's what I was gonna say. Like is there like some post nasal drip going on that I'm not aware of?

OK, Yeah, that's when I that we use pretty often. Green flag, red flag hits. Different. Yeah, that's a big one. No cap, which is no lie. Quarantine and chill which is taken over for Netflix and chill. Rest in peace, the Rona. Obviously. Yeah, spicy cough. Slaps. That's slaps. OK, tea. Obviously, we spill. Tea. Oh, we talk about spelling the tea constantly a vibe.

1:04:08 Check, which we use quite often, and yeet yeet. So they they do say that the greatest slang world word of all time is subjective, but they there's a general consensus that cool is the greatest slang word of all time. Well, I mean, it's carried on for so long. Yeah. You know, like there's such a huge longevity to it. Like, I feel like every one of us sitting here has definitely said cool more than probably a million times in their lives. Dude, yeah, like Oh my God, that's so cool. I literally talked about the beginning of the shit.

1:04:42 Not even just at the beginning of the shit. Like literally like last episode. Yeah, I mean, hell, we were. Just talking about how cool literally everything we like is. So which is a lot of this podcast. Here's my question to you guys, since we've like literally gone over and I know we're running over time, but we're I want to say this really quick. Is there any slang words that you personally created that you found out later other people were using? Like something that you know for a fact you were the first person to say and the next thing you know other people are saying it.

1:05:09 Honestly, I wish I was. I was that influential. What about you, Crimson man? There might have been one word or two, but I wouldn't say it like blew up in popularity, popularity like a lot of these words, but it was just mostly within the friend group. I mean the only one I can even think of like recent and that was because it came up as a joke, was busting your leg. Yeah, well, that's that's our joke. But that's what I'm saying, like I, I come, you know, I, I come into to, to like creating any sort of words just because of that, just like either my wording slipped and I start, I somehow switched the words around and it just made something new.

1:05:55 And just like, OK, there we go. We're really using that now. But not not not anything to the degree of like it it being influential like that either. I have one that I know for a fact that other people use now, at least in my circles because I've heard them use it. Crib Midget referring to children. Oh, I've heard you say it. I've never heard anyone else say did. You say, did you say a crib Midget? Yeah. OK. I want to make sure I heard that correct. Or or a crotch goblin. Yes, I've heard you say crotch goblin, but I've also heard other people say crotch.

1:06:30 Goblin I I've heard people like outside. I'm one of the few people that actually heard like started saying that and then it just like for some reason became super popular. It caught on like wildfire. And again, I'm not sitting here saying I originated it, I'm sitting here saying I was one of the first people to start using it and other people started using it too. I get that. Like, it honestly makes me think of that Curb Enthusiasm episode where he's talking about that he came up with a certain phrase and he should be trademarked for it.

1:06:54 Yeah. And I'm just, like, getting this very visceral image because the next question I was going to ask to closeout was just using quotes from Seinfeld. Count as in normal conversation. Count as creating slang. Considering I will quote Friends, Seinfeld and The Big Bang Theory constantly, yes. OK, because my favorite thing to say is, oh, what a blow to the culture. And it was a George Costanza line. And I say it so constantly that at one point I forgot where I heard it. Yeah. And then I was just doing my usual rewatch of Seinfeld with Ralph the other day, and it was the episode where he goes, oh, what a blow to the culture.

1:07:30 I was like, Oh my God, I that's what it was. It was George Costanza. No, I always quote. There's a quote that I like from Big Bang lately that I've been saying, why are you such a gull Bueni? I fucking love The Big Bang Three. Oh my. I don't care what anyone says, that show was a fucking bomb. Yes, I agree, but on. That note. On that note, I want to hear you, Phoenix Nation. Like what's a slang word that you use that you will never give up? Like that is your word. I don't care how old or outdated or whatever.

1:07:58 That is your word for me. I'm going to say it's definitely bet like, I'm never going to give that word up. Valid. I just fuck off. Like oh bet yeah, no, like that's what I'm going to use and there are many others. Lit is another one as I mentioned and obviously like just crotch goblin. I think bet might be might be the the next successor to cool. No, because bet just means you agree. It doesn't mean that it's cool. No, no. As in a lot of people using it. Okay, okay, okay, okay, that's fair, that's fair, that's fair.

1:08:33 Be specific. Precision of language. Give me a chance to explain myself. I'm gonna give. You a chance to do a lot of things. But yeah, I would say mine are probably valid. I say valid all the time like which is by accident and Okie dokie, word for you exactly. And Okie dokie, which is something I just say constantly, no matter how many people like pointed out, especially now and they're like, oh, with a girl from Fallout says Fallout says I'm like, look, I Love Lucy McLean. But I've been saying this far beyond the Fallout show being out.

1:09:00 Yeah, not to sound too hipstery, but it's like we did that first. Thank you. But yeah, you won't ever catch me in the club not saying okie dokie whenever I'm being told something or walking off to go do something. Oh. That's so funny you just use another slangs phrase catch me in the club which is making a comeback because in in the club we all fam. So on that note, we should get out of here so. Lavender, take us out. All righty everybody, bye. Say bye. OK, wait, no. OK, now there we are.
