ALL of these Reactors were GREAT for this episode, but Phil & Jair cutting up/having a ball, and Jaxon taking his time to carefully/completely explain the slang, made the episode!
Jair & Phil…so laid back and they have great chemistry. Jaxon & Rhoda…such a great pairing. We need more Angel & Catherine because they were teaching each other! I'm still dead over “thooter”. Overall, most of Gen Z slang is Gen X AAVE. “Cheugy” is the only one I didn’t know.
In my linguistics course, at a public university, the professor's favorite thing to do at the end of each class session, was to go and find Gen Z and late millennial slang, and asked us about them. He was so enthusiastic about learning, and would use them because he thought it was funny (spoiler: it was hilarious) and I remember one time he asked, "Do I sound like you guys now?" and we said yes, and he had the most devious smirk on his face when he asked, "No cap?"
My linguistics teacher was also like that and she would always tell us that we shouldn’t let older people tells us that we, the younger generations, don’t know how to speak properly anymore because we use “like” a lot or slang, this is just a sign of cultural and linguistic development within our society. What is considered the “proper” way to speak a language is constantly evolving
Lmao I remember last year my history teacher used the word "cheugy" to try to be cool and none of us knew what it meant so we all just started using it randomly without knowing the meaning 💀
People also ask What does cheugy mean in slang? is out of date or trying too hard Cheugy (pronounced chew-gee) can be used, broadly, to describe someone who is out of date or trying too hard. And while a lot of cheugy things are associated with millennial women, the term can be applied to anyone of any gender and any age.
Ok...I'm a "vintage millennial" (1984 lol) who works in senior living and I absolutely NEED Phil to come and live where I work so my life can finally be complete. "Do you have Drip, Phil?" "I had some penicillin and it took care of it."😂😂😂😂
Love how Gen Zers think they came up with some of these slang words when really these slang words have been around since I was a kid/teen (I'm a millennial)
When Phil described simp as something to describe someone as stupid, it's actually true. Simp is a word that's been used for quite some time now as a short phrase for simpleton. I use this term all the time to mess with my friends, calling them simps then they got confused which made them look like bigger simps.
hahahaha OMG the older man is fricking hilarious!! He and the girl have so much chemistry like a cute grandpa with his granddaughter. It's fun to watch. So is the dirty older lady....that's gonna be me when I'm older.
This was too funny! I am Gen X and I’m familiar with most of the terms. I have nieces that are both mid and late millennials. The younger one is high key millennial/GenZ though. Did I use that right? Lol. We see you! Love always, Gen X. 💞
4:04 oh i know that mental rabbit hole all too well when trying to explain something to my uncle of father. you have to explain 5 things just so they can get a grasp on one word and then you have to do it for 3 other words and it's like.. "on second thought, it's just a game"
Most popular slang starts as AAVE... I don't know why y'all keep bringing it up. It's not a shock. It's nothing new. It's what we do. We create pop culture. We are the literal source of 98% of pop culture... And it changes with each generation.
@@TasteItCulinary asia is not lack of culture. AND even if we take our pop culture from AAVE its just how the world works, u need to accept it. all cultures mixed with eachothers and this happened even before your great grandpa was born
@@juicytoes77 lmfao calm down...... I didn't say they lacked culture. And I didn't say I don't accept anything. You're assuming and making things up. Loosen up on the aggressive tone.
Cheugy is one of those mid-generation words that was only around for like, a month. Young millennials/old zoomers came up with it, then immediately tried to pretend they didn't.
It's funny that these kids don't even know "no cap" is derived from the twitch emoji "kappa" which is used to convey that you are saying something ironically or sarcastic 😂
Gotta say, I'm gen z but I hate the term simp. It's just such a toxic concept. I mean, when you love someone, you give. That's what love is. It's not a bad thing, but so much of our generations seems to have lost sight of that, and now they've turned it into an insult, and apparently now you can't value your partner above yourself without being considered simple-minded and being looked down on.
@@giglebiggle lol no. I don't even really know what kind of content she makes. More like someone who's in love and knows what that's like, and how it can completely change you, defending that. Because people today don't seem to be able to recognize real, deep love, or its value.
I've seen Jaxon in a lot of these videos. And I must say, he is very entertaining and knowledgable. He's been doing these videos a long time and I think it would be cool if he had his own channel.
I love Jaxon, he's high key one of the best gen z'ers on the channel, no cap. No, but seriously, this is just how slang (and language in general) works: iteratively changing what came before to get what comes next. Except with new tech, where entirely new words and phrases need to be invented to avoid long descriptive references. So it's no surprise that a lot of gen z slang is modifications of older slang, which in turn was modified from even older slang before that.
Exactly. That’s just how language evolves and the meanings, pronunciations, and even how a word is transcribed changes throughout time. Entomology is an interesting and intriguing topic.
@@elijahsmall5873 I do think you mean "etymology", which I only correct because "entomology" is the study of bugs, and people Googling may get very confused 😂
I was waiting for rizz or based to come on because damn as a gen z myself I was so confused by them. It doesn't help that other than yt I don't use socials
@@itsaUSBline Oh thanks for informing me. I haven't heard it being used up until mid last year (iirc) so I was going under the assumption that it was refurbished older slang that made it on to either stan twitter or tiktok or both then exploded. It coming out of hiphop makes a lot of sense just by seeing how many slang words and phrases originated from the hiphop community.
the gen z slang is so confusing it took me a while to figure out what tbh was and im a millennial now i have to ask wtf is half the shit they say or google it lmfao
Phil’s “no cap” explanation 😂😂😂
I loved it😂😂😂🤣
I am a regular hood dude doing food reviews on my UA-cam channel
So good 😂

@@ImNotEd you just contradicted yourself 🤦♂️
Phil has to be the best character out of everyone😂 love that guy
Id love to spend a day with him🤣
Thank you
Phil paired with Jair was brilliant! Catherine is everything!
Jair & Phil is vibin' they just have so much fun, love their chemistry 😆
Phil is a gem. His explanations are so hilarious. We need to protect Phil at all costs!
It’s so funny how we call it our slang but it’s been around for decades💀
seungmin
Right, it's just AAVE rebranded
@@tilda1579 yessss
It's not invented by genz it popularized to be known in a wider scale
Jair and Phil need their own sitcom.
ALL of these Reactors were GREAT for this episode, but Phil & Jair cutting up/having a ball, and Jaxon taking his time to carefully/completely explain the slang, made the episode!
Phil is a whole vibe and I’m here for it.
"Gen Z slang?" Black folk been saying these words and phrases for years. Lmao!
Right💀 the fact that AAVE was co-opted by “Gen Z” and not even given proper acknowledgement
@@eu.stacio Black culture is pop culture before the "pop!"
Except the cap part
@@Thashining What do you mean? Then why do you always have to always pull it off? What do you get? Think you're cooler?
@yeeterplayer1167 Popularised how when millions of Black folks have been using AAVE for decades before gen z brats could even speak??
Jair & Phil…so laid back and they have great chemistry. Jaxon & Rhoda…such a great pairing. We need more Angel & Catherine because they were teaching each other! I'm still dead over “thooter”.
Overall, most of Gen Z slang is Gen X AAVE. “Cheugy” is the only one I didn’t know.
A lot of Gen Z slang is old school hip hop terms from the 80s & 90s that somehow ended up on TikTok.
It's not invented by genz its more like popularized or revived
Phil carried the whole video

"Thanks for watching this episode high- key"😂😂😂😂
Honestly, Phil is chaotic and I love it sm😭😭
PHIL SAID I HAD SOME PENICILLIN AND TOOK CARE OF THAT 💀
I had to pause. 🤣🤣🤣
That man wildin always 🤣🤣
I love how Catherine makes everything dirty 😂😂
the old fella in the blue shirt is absolutely amazing and I hope I'm half as charismatic as him by that age. Legend.
Phil is my favorite no cap 😂😂😂 AND Jair and Phil are the best duo hahahah
PHIL IS SO FUNNY AND HE WAS IN A DABABY MUSIC VIDEO😭
The pairing of Jair and Phil....here for it!!!!!
Jair and Phil should have a podcast No Cap😆👍
"millennial proganda" really got me.. I feel really attacked no cap.. 🤣🤣🤣
Lmao I remember last year my history teacher used the word "cheugy" to try to be cool and none of us knew what it meant so we all just started using it randomly without knowing the meaning 💀

phil is the absolute best

Phils explanation for everything was gold
I love Jair and Phil together 😂
Phil and Jair are a power duo! No cap 😂
their chemistries are off the chart but phil and jair are too funny 💀💀
Love how Gen Zers think they came up with some of these slang words when really these slang words have been around since I was a kid/teen (I'm a millennial)
Im an older millenial... born 85. Bruh, I didnt know any of this stuff till my 14 yr old taught me lol
Yeah I was hearing and using some of this slang in the 90s
Most of them they did wdym💀
duuude the old guy was HILARIOUS get him back on!
Yea!
phil has a MAJOR chandler bing energy
A bop is a “hit”… as simple like that
Jair and Phil were a whole vibe 😅
I love how Gen Z can't even explain Gen Z vocab properly, but it's still fun watching them try lol
"Cheugy" has been in every single Gen Z slang quiz I've seen, and every time, someone says that no one actually uses it.
The grandpa in blue slayed
I've been saying a lot of these since middle school and I'm 27.
Simp can also stand for, Squirrels in my pants 🐿 👖
Lmao 🤣 yasssss
It's giving Candace no cap

I use this term all the time to mess with my friends, calling them simps then they got confused which made them look like bigger simps.
"bet" can also be used when somebody says like "i'm better at this than you" and then you say "bet" and try to prove you'Re better
It's so interesting that some of the terms were around back in the day but have different definitions
hahahaha OMG the older man is fricking hilarious!! He and the girl have so much chemistry like a cute grandpa with his granddaughter. It's fun to watch. So is the dirty older lady....that's gonna be me when I'm older.
Phill is just having a wonderful time
Thank you
This was too funny! I am Gen X and I’m familiar with most of the terms. I have nieces that are both mid and late millennials. The younger one is high key millennial/GenZ though. Did I use that right? Lol.
We see you! Love always, Gen X. 💞
probably would just say high key Gen Z because they are a millennial but giving off Gen Z vibes
I want a grandpa like Phil, hes so coollllllll😆😆
Low-key Catherine kinda got a dirty mind. Phil is MVP no cap.
who says mvp 💀
@@diorsse you're daddy
What’s funny about this is that literally NONE of these phrases came from “Gen Z”. They’re all AAVE that we’ve BEEN SAYING FOR YEEEAARSSS
4:04 oh i know that mental rabbit hole all too well when trying to explain something to my uncle of father.
you have to explain 5 things just so they can get a grasp on one word and then you have to do it for 3 other words and it's like.. "on second thought, it's just a game"

I had the exact same reaction to the word cheugy as them
‘I really want to know your philosophy of life no cap’💀💀💀💀💀💀
Anyone else catch Phil’s Chlamydia joke?!?😂😂😂
He really snuck that one in there lmao
I would to see this in reverse. Slang terms used by the elders when they were young. And Gen Z guessing.
Now THAT's a video I would definitely watch! And since I am only 27, I would probably learn a lot too.
Phil gives me vibe of

She said "finna" I'm over here like "now lil girl...." lol
Phil is just great 😂
They should’ve had “rizz” In Here
I never understood “cheugy” it feels like the most forced slang term ever. Like Gretchen Wiener trying to make “fetch” happen
lmaooo i’m surprised slay wasnt on here 💀💀
That's not gen z that's twitter people and npc's they don't count
"Or like low key-" "shes a thooter" WAS SO FUNNY 😭 11:36
3:10 sounds exactly like something Pierce from Community would say.
Lmfao yessss!
Why do I love watching this but whenever my parents try to use slang I cringe so hard. My mom still says “on fleek” to piss me off 🥲
same, my mom also purposely says them wrong just to make us cringe and if she successfully gets a reaction that will forever be the version used
I like to say fam to my younger sister because she hates it.
