DO ELDERS KNOW MODERN SLANG? (REACT: Do They Know It?)

♪ (upbeat theme music) ♪

- (Finebros) Today we're
gonna see how hip you are

to modern slang by showing you
a few words or phrases used today.

- (chuckling) Okay.

- I don't know a lot
of those things, but I'll try.

- (facetiously) Ooh, I am not so hip.

- Think I'm a pretty hip guy.

- Child, please.

I am slang.

- There's so many acronyms,

and nothing means what
you think it's gonna mean.

- (drawling) Oh my gosh.

I don't know if I can hang
with this type of "jizmazics."

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) Do you know this slang?
- (bleating) "Bae."

- Maybe it's sheep talk. Baa. Bae.

- No idea. That I've never heard of. Bae.

- Bay, it's by the sea,
by the beautiful sea?

- Bust... butt?

- Could be a guy talking to his chick.

Guys just say "bae."

- I think it's affectionate to a friend.

- If it's "babe," and they're
pronouncing it "bay."

- I think this means like your "babe."

- (Finebros) This word
is pronounced "bay,"

and it's what you call
your significant other

or something that you really love.
- (laughs heartily)

No, that's "babe."

- They knocked out the B.

Why, they should've
just put an apostrophe in.

- That's straight-up ghetto.

- (Finebros) Can you use it in a sentence?

- "Love you, bae." "Hey, bae." "Hey, bae!"

- "What you want, bae?"

- "Hey, bae. Let's go to a movie."

- (awkwardly) "Would you
take out the trash, bae?"

- I like it.
(phone chiming)

Oh, doggone, guys. I'm sorry about that.

Sorry, bae.
(laughter)

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) All right.
So do you know this one?

- "Throw shade"?

Wow. Am I that far out of touch?

- Get in somebody's way?

- Put on some sunglasses?

- Telling you to get out of
the sun or something like that.

- I'm gonna say, "Hey, chill.
Cool it. Throw shade."

- I would think that this
might mean overpowering.

- It means be disrespectful
to someone, insult them.

(Finebros) So "throwing shade"
is when you insult someone and,

more specifically, in an
underhanded or subtle way.

- Oh, I see.

- Never heard that one before.

- Throw shade. You throw
something at somebody.

So you could throw an insult.

- It's so nasty. It's so beautiful
and nasty. (laughs)

I'ma go throw some shade on her.

- (Finebros) Do you want to try
throwing some shade at somebody?

- (pondering) Who would I throw it at?

Kanye, get serious, man.
Who gonna vote for your ass?

- I'll throw shade at whoever
made up that expression.

- No, I wouldn't do that.

Well, maybe.

There's a few people out there
who owe me money.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) What about
this slang? Do you know it?

- "Netflix and chill."

Now, I got "Netflix,"
but I don't know about "chill."

- I get the "chill," but the "Netflix."

- You want to calm down,

so just watch Netflix
and then chill out.

- "Let's watch Breaking Bad
in Netflix and chill."

Sit back and throw back
a couple or whate--

Am I sounding cool now?
I think I'm even beginning to sound cool.

- (Finebros) Do you want
to know what it means?

- Oh, did I get it wrong?

- (Finebros) "Netflix
and chill" is a code word

for going to someone's house
to hook up with them.

- Oh, shit. I mean, oh, shoot.

- (flabbergasted) Where
in the world did this come from?

- I don't really understand how that

has anything to do with hooking up.

- (Finebros) The phrase started out

as simply watching movies
on Netflix and relaxing,

but it's become code for casual sex.
- (laughs)

I think my sentence still works.

- (hushed) It's so parents
don't know what you're doing.

- I like it. It's better than
saying, "Hey, let's have sex."

- I definitely need some
Netflix and chill in my life.

So if there's any ladies
out there, I'm available.

- I want to Netflix and chill
with Randy Harrison.

(chuckles)

- (Finebros) Does this
remind you of any slang

when you were young that
was like a code for hooking up?

- No. In fact, hooking up wasn't invented.

- "Roll in the hay."

- "Moody dudey."

- "Boink." I mean, that was
a new word when I was young.

- There was a certain place
that we used to go called Marangu.

And we put that in our diaries,

'cause my mother used to read the diary.

So she didn't know that "go to Marangu"

meant to go somewhere and hook up.

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) How about
this one? Do you know it?

- "On fleek."

On Donner, on Blitzen.
Yeah. It's Christmas.

- "On fleek"?

I have no clue.

- Do you guys use this?

- This is some sort of drug.

- Kinda high or up or on crack.

- It's sharp and exactly
the way it should be.

Somebody said, "Oh!
Your nails are so on fleek."

And I said, "What does that mean?"

- "On fleek" means that
something is correct, on point,

or looking its best.
- Okay.

- You're kidding me.

I don't get it.

- "On fleek." Where did they get
that word? That's a new word.

- Although it was first posted
on Urban Dictionary in 2003,

some say it became popular recently

after it was used in a viral video,

where someone described
their eyebrows as being "on fleek."

- I think I'd like to have that
dictionary you're looking at.

- Like "fly"?

I like "fly" better, because I'm old.

- "Hey, you're so on fleek today, bae."

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) Do you know it?
- "Thirsty."

It means you want to drink something.

- I guess I'm thirsty, but it probably
means something else.

I'm not thirsty.

- I would think it's talking
about wanting something.

- "Thirsty" means... I want action.

- You mean it means
something else other than "thirsty"?

Probably means for sex.

- Maybe it means somebody
wants to have sex.

- "Thirsty" means that someone
is desperate for something,

usually sex.
- Oh. I see.

- Ooh. Oh, oh, oh.

- Oh. (chuckles) Nothing
to do with drinking.

- Elders really have
to watch what they say.

- (cool voice) "Thirsty for love."

- I've heard the expression,
"thirsty for sex."

- Isn't it all about sex, you guys?

You know, that's one thing
that's never changed.

- (Finebros) Do you think you can
use this one in a sentence?

- "Last week, I felt very thirsty"?

- "God, that guy's always thirsty."

- "I was thirsty last night,
and it was too windy for my...

booty call to make it over."

♪ (quirky music) ♪

- (Finebros) Okay, so do you know it?
- "AF." It's an adjective?

- "Aff."

AF: Always Funny.

- In my day, AF was "air force."

- "Air force."

- Definitely not "air force."

- Before and after?

- Does A mean "awesome"?

"Awesome Friend"?

- The F might stand for the F-bomb.

- I'm thinking of a four-letter word,
but I'm not gonna use it.

A [bleep]?

- (Finebros) AF is an
abbreviation for "as [bleep]."

- Oh! What's new about that?

- Okay, so I was close.

- I never heard anybody
saying something as "as [bleep]."

- (Finebros) It's used to add emphasis

or express the intensity of
something at its most extreme,

like saying, "It's cold AF outside."
- Wow. So added emphasis.

- This, to me, is kinda ridiculous.
But it's the kids' thing.

- Truly sometimes that word
is the only word that works.

- I actually would rather
hear that than the word,

to be honest with you.

- That's being a little, I think,
more politically correct

by just going "AF" instead
of saying "mother[bleep]er!"

♪ (quirky interlude) ♪

- (Finebros) Final one! Do you know it?

- (laughs)

- (laughing)

Are you calling me out?

- "Basic bitch."

- Well, I know what a bitch is.

- That might be somebody's main squeeze.

- Is that how someone
would describe their girlfriend?

- Kinda sounds like me.
I'm kind of a bitch.

- Well, I assume it's someone
who you really don't like,

a female.

- We know what a bitch really is, right?

We know that is a female dog.

Is it a real girl dog?
That'd be nice, huh?

- (Finebros) A basic bitch
is a person who thinks

they are very unique and awesome
but is actually unoriginal

and just into everything
mainstream in pop culture.

- Yeah, it sounds like me.
I'm kind of a basic bitch.

- I really don't like the word.

- I take umbrage at that.
I use it for a different meaning.

(laughs)

- In New York at Christmastime,

the basic bitches
are all over the streets.

They annoy me, taking
selfies every three steps.
