## Transcript

[0:01] Welcome to Are You Quizzing Me? I'm Maneet Nayar with my cohost,
[0:05] Aditya Kashyap. This is a quizzing trivia
[0:07] podcast show. Join us as we dive deep into
[0:10] history, science, sport, pop, gotcha, and so much more.
[0:13] Pet Skin Quizzing And we're back for episode #38 of Are You
[0:21] Quizzing Me? Your favorite quizzing podcast
[0:25] show. We have a question from Aditya
[0:27] that is spending. But before we get to that,
[0:30] there's a small matter of the audience question.
[0:33] So this is the audience question for today.
[0:37] Tilly Cotman, better known by her online alias Maya Arson
[0:42] Cremu, is a Swiss developer and hacker.
[0:45] In 2023, they announced that they had gained access to a 2019
[0:50] copy of this, let's call it X. Allegedly, she had found this on
[0:55] an unsecured her server belonging to a regional airline
[0:59] commute at. According to the hacker, X was
[1:02] unusual in that over 10% of the entries were Mohammed.
[1:07] What is X? Let me repeat the question.
[1:10] Tilly Cotman, better known by her online alias Maya Arson
[1:14] premieu, is a Swiss developer and hacker.
[1:17] In 2023, she gained access to a 2019 copy of the United States X
[1:23] Allegedly, she had found this on an unsecured server belonging to
[1:26] a regional airline commute. According to the hacker, X was
[1:30] unusual in that over 10% of the entries were Mohammed.
[1:34] What is X? We will get to that question at
[1:37] the end of the episode, but for now we have been waiting with
[1:40] bitter breath for the past week to know the answer to Aditya's
[1:44] fascinating question. Aditya, please enlighten us.
[1:49] All right, Vineet, I have an answer for you.
[1:52] And. This question was basically a
[1:56] reference to last episode's question where we discussed
[1:59] Pokémon and how Hitman Chan and Hitman Lee are homages to the
[2:06] actors Jackie Chan and Bruce Lee.
[2:09] So I asked which Pokémon characters pay homage to Indian
[2:14] celebrities? And you cannot talk of Indian
[2:17] celebrities without talking about the greatest of them all,
[2:21] the one who started. Or is a great granddaddy of
[2:24] Indian cinema. I guess you could call him
[2:26] Prithviraj Kapoor. And of course, if you're going
[2:30] to pay Omage to that bigger person, you have to have a very
[2:33] important Pokémon, which is Pikachu.
[2:37] I'll tell you why that is an omage to Prithviraj Kapoor.
[2:40] Pika, obviously Prithviraj Kapoor.
[2:42] But do you know what the Chu refers to?
[2:45] And here's where I'm going to blow your mind.
[2:46] Vineet, did you know there's a 1941 film called Raj Narkatti?
[2:52] It is not very famous but it is a film that Prithviraj Kapoor
[2:56] acted in and in it he played no, no, hear me out, Hear me out.
[3:01] In it he played this character of Prince Chandrakriti who I
[3:06] imagine was also sometimes just called Prince Chu I I I'm going
[3:11] to put it out there. So one of the characters that he
[3:14] has played was Chu and Prithviraj Kapoor.
[3:17] Chu Pikachu that is Umash to Prithviraj Kapoor's.
[3:21] Iconic status in Bollywood. Fight me on this any audience
[3:25] member if you want to cuz I stand by this made-up history.
[3:29] Ohh God no ohh God That physically hurts.
[3:35] That absolutely physically hurts.
[3:37] That does, but it's the truth. How, how how how?
[3:41] How did you get to be this age? With groups like this oof.
[3:47] You know what? That's a fantastic segue into
[3:49] the theme of today's episode. Theme for today's episode.
[3:52] Yes, yes, yes. So the theme for today's
[3:54] episode, let me just give a shout out to one of our
[3:56] listeners, Mr. Sonu, who suggested this and I thought it
[4:00] was a great idea, was to focus on, to put it scientifically,
[4:05] the demographic, social generations that we are part of,
[4:10] especially with reference to the current Gen.
[4:14] Z and more specifically their language.
[4:19] Because this was I knew about this, but I did not realize how
[4:23] deep this went. They apparently have a language
[4:26] all of their own. I think Gen.
[4:28] Z English should be classified as a different language
[4:31] altogether because it has no resemblance to what I learned in
[4:35] school. No offense meant to anybody
[4:39] who's from Gen. Z, but dude, I just cannot
[4:41] understand a word these people say.
[4:43] I want to start off today's questions with as no match to
[4:47] this particular generational classification that we talk
[4:51] about. So we've all heard of Gen.
[4:53] Z, right? So there are many different
[4:56] generations, so to say. Aditya, if I'm not mistaken,
[5:00] both you and I belong to Gen. Y or Millennials.
[5:05] That would be correct. Yeah.
[5:07] Yes. So we both, both of us belong to
[5:10] Gen. Y which is all you know also
[5:13] called, they are also called millennials who were born
[5:14] between 1981 and 1996. So Generation Z, let me just
[5:20] give a brief kind of pressie to our audience so that they are
[5:24] aware of who exactly we are talking about, right.
[5:27] So Generation Z, often known shortened to Gen.
[5:31] Z, locally known as zoomers, is the demographic cohort
[5:34] succeeding millennials and preceding generation Alpha.
[5:39] So Generation Alpha is those born after 2020.
[5:43] So we're talking about people who were born between 1997 and
[5:46] 2012, so that. So we're still missing eight
[5:50] years in between. Yeah, sorry.
[5:51] Yeah, I kind of missed mid 2020. So basically 20/20/13 to twenty
[5:55] 20s, mid twenty 20s is Generation Alpha.
[5:58] So my son technically belongs to Generation Alpha, you and I
[6:02] belong to the Millennials or Gen.
[6:05] Y, and the ones in between us are Gen.
[6:08] Gen. Z, Gen.
[6:10] Z, I'll talk a little more in detail about Gen.
[6:13] Z and their characteristics at the end of our episode, but for
[6:16] now, let's dive into their lingo.
[6:19] So Aditya, let's start off with your question on the lingo and
[6:24] the peak of Gen. Z.
[6:27] So because we had decided the theme of this was the
[6:30] inscrutable lingo of this generation, I realized you and I
[6:34] might be looking at same resources to figure out what.
[6:38] Questions we can ask each other. So here's where I went slightly
[6:42] off off the course a little bit. And I thought, I'll do Gen.
[6:46] Z lingo or youth lingo at least. My first question is Gen.
[6:49] Z lingo, but it's not a universal Gen.
[6:52] Z lingo. It is specifically Ohh, Filipino
[6:55] Gen. Z lingo.
[6:57] Oh, oh, that's. So I'm hoping that field.
[6:59] Yeah. I'm hoping you didn't do this.
[7:00] OK, and it's no idea why it is. It is absolutely hilarious.
[7:04] This is going to be a lot of fun and I have multiple words I'm
[7:07] going to hit in the first go itself.
[7:08] Okay. So do you know what scoobs
[7:13] means? Scoobs.
[7:17] Yeah, so something to do with scooby-doo or somebody who's a
[7:23] somebody who's maybe somebody who's stoned half the time or
[7:26] something like that, or who's snacky or who's just acts like a
[7:29] dog. I have looked where I'm.
[7:32] Going do you know what? I'm going to change the format
[7:33] of this questions lately. I'm going to tell you what it
[7:35] means. Just tell me how to get there,
[7:37] because the connections are hilarious.
[7:39] OK, in the case of Scoobs, I'll just give you the answer because
[7:42] it's slightly tough. Scoobs means hell no, it means
[7:46] an emphatic no. And the connection is Scoobs,
[7:50] scooby-doo, Great Dane, Dane, OK, Danes and Danes in Tagalog.
[7:58] Tagalog. Sorry.
[7:59] In Tagalog means no. And a very emphatic no is Danes.
[8:03] So from Danes. Wow, they got the scoops, Which
[8:06] means hell no. OK, well that was tough because
[8:08] there was some Tagalog involved in this.
[8:09] The next few are not even anything to do with Tagalog, but
[8:12] they are hilarious. OK, so Mom Jeans and it means
[8:17] that you have gotten really stoned.
[8:20] Mom Jeans means you've gotten the OK Mom Jeans.
[8:24] MJ Marijuana. Ohh no no, no.
[8:27] That's what you think. OK, sorry.
[8:28] Let me also clarify. It's either really stoned or
[8:30] really drunk. So how is mom jeans Really
[8:34] stoned. I really thought I had that one.
[8:35] OK, so mom jeans. I'm still guessing it's MJ
[8:39] Classified, you know, You know, shopping to MJ?
[8:41] No, no, nothing. That's the wrong track, but you
[8:45] have to you have to admit that kind of worked.
[8:47] That was great. That was great.
[8:48] No, I give it to you, OK? No, I have no clue.
[8:52] How do you get from Mom Jeans to OK?
[8:55] It's useful. I'll give you a hint.
[8:56] I'll give you a hint. Do you know what mom jeans look
[8:58] like? Yeah, high waisted ones with,
[9:02] you know, kind of. There you go.
[9:04] High wasted. You are high and waisted.
[9:08] You are high and you are waist like that.
[9:11] Ohh nice. Nice, nice.
[9:14] This one is also fantastic gumps, which means thanks.
[9:20] How did gumps become? Thanks, I no I have absolutely
[9:24] no clue. The connection involves one of
[9:27] the most famous Hollywood actors.
[9:29] OK, so then it would have to be a forest Gumps.
[9:32] Tom Hanks is thanks. Yeah, absolutely.
[9:36] Right. Yes.
[9:37] Gumps. Forest Gump.
[9:39] Tom Hanks. Thanks.
[9:41] You know what this reminds me of?
[9:42] You've heard of Cockney rhyming slang.
[9:44] Yes. Oh my God, you are absolutely
[9:46] on. That was going to be one of my
[9:47] questions as well. There's going to be some cockney
[9:49] slang coming up as well. Oh my God.
[9:52] This is reminds me of that because it's they start
[9:54] somewhere and they end up somewhere else.
[9:56] And it always boggles my mind how people understand, you know,
[10:00] that this is where it comes from.
[10:03] OK, this one is fun as well. Carps Which means are you game
[10:08] or are you down? What?
[10:09] What? What do you think Carps and are
[10:11] you game is corrected by no, no, I have nothing.
[10:14] OK, I'm just going to try to help you with the hint.
[10:16] I don't know. Think Aladdin Carpet.
[10:19] Magic carpet. Aladdin's magic carpet.
[10:21] But then carpet cops his carpet. OK, what else is the carpet
[10:25] called? A rug?
[10:28] Yeah. How do you spell rug?
[10:31] Are you G? Are you G?
[10:33] Oh my God. Oh sweet Jesus I.
[10:40] Are you having the time of your life or what?
[10:42] Yes. No, I mean, like, this is
[10:44] reinforces the fact, you know, there's an actual, I think more
[10:49] than a generation kept as a linguistic gap to understanding
[10:52] what you know. They say I am terrified after
[10:55] doing like, I've gone through maybe like 10 examples.
[10:58] I don't think I've gone actually feel a little guilty that I
[11:00] haven't gone in as deep as you. You've gone to Filipino Gen.
[11:03] Z slang. I did a I did.
[11:05] I just looked for some of the weirdest ones I could find, or
[11:08] at least in my head, which just betrays my age.
[11:11] But I the more I've read about this, the more terrified it was
[11:14] I was that I wouldn't be able to communicate with my son when he
[11:18] gets to be, you know, 18 or whatever.
[11:22] Well you know, hopefully somebody makes a podcast.
[11:24] Maybe we make a podcast by even in the future, 18 years from
[11:27] now, explaining legal. OK, I'm going to ask one last
[11:30] one for this. OK, so last one was Carps, which
[11:33] asks you are you game? As a response, I might say I am
[11:37] game, but I wouldn't say I'm game because I'm really cool.
[11:40] So what would I say instead? I'd say pics.
[11:42] So how is Pics and I'm game related Pics?
[11:48] Six. I have no, I don't know, man.
[11:50] What? What are pictures called in in
[11:53] the Internet terminology? What other words is used for
[11:57] pictures? Jpegs.
[12:00] Actually not even new Internet. It's just yeah, yeah.
[12:04] So what is that? What did you say?
[12:05] I'm. Which is I'm a I'm a JIS.
[12:09] I'm. IMG I oh God Oh my God I'm game.
[12:19] I am game is IMG which is images which is pictures which is pigs.
[12:22] So pigs means I am game. So if I have an Entymology
[12:27] episode just with this Filipino. I know, right?
[12:30] This is fantastic. Fantastic.
[12:32] So next time for next episode I'm going to message you and be
[12:35] like carps and you can reply by saying PIGS.
[12:42] And that would be absolutely not, but still.
[12:48] OK, shout out to any friends in Philippines or Filipino friends
[12:52] if you're listening to this and this one little segment was for
[12:55] your benefit. And also shout out to the
[12:58] website that basically I found all of them out.
[13:01] It's the article is called 10 Crazy Things Kids are Saying
[13:03] these Days. It's on spot dot pH so go check
[13:08] it out. There are a bunch of other
[13:09] lingos as well which are hilarious.
[13:11] OK, that was my opening question.
[13:14] I hope I started us off on a fun note.
[13:16] So you take over? No, no, you you've raised the
[13:18] bar a little too much because my questions are going to seem
[13:20] pathetic compared to this, because mine are all just, you
[13:22] know, temp boilerplate things, you know, basically I have a
[13:25] feeling somebody listening to this is going to be like, OK,
[13:27] Boomer, because I'm just asking the most basic kind of questions
[13:31] that you can. But jello, I don't have anything
[13:33] else prepared. So you will have to suffer.
[13:36] Let's do. Let's do this.
[13:37] Yeah. So just imagine you're a person
[13:39] who's working with somebody who's from Gen.
[13:42] Z, right? So you assign your Gen.
[13:45] Z colleague a task via a messaging service, OK?
[13:49] And you end your sentence with a period or a full stop as we
[13:53] would know it in India. What is risky about what you've
[13:55] just done? What is risky about the fact
[13:59] that I ended a sentence with a full stop?
[14:01] Yeah. Or a period?
[14:02] Yeah. Wow, OK, no, I I have to I have
[14:09] to reference a very great Washington Post article which I
[14:12] stole this from, but the the explanations given to it were
[14:16] just amazing. So I was like, I'm definitely
[14:18] stating this, so shout out to the Washington Post.
[14:19] They did the research on this, not me.
[14:22] Love it. OK, Washington Post.
[14:25] I'm going to get into the mind of the Washington Post.
[14:27] Now let's see what you have done is you have by putting a period
[14:33] at the end of the sentence, you have.
[14:35] Put an end to the conversation, and the conversation should
[14:37] never end. And people should be able to say
[14:39] that piece without feeling like they have been shut up.
[14:44] No, I don't think that makes any sense.
[14:46] No, you're not far, but you're absolutely not close either.
[14:50] I mean, like you're not right. But you're not far either.
[14:53] OK, that is a very apt description of my response.
[14:57] Yes, let me try one more time by ending a sentence with the
[15:02] period. You have implied that somehow.
[15:08] Oh, you know what? It's not a feminist stance.
[15:11] You're saying that periods are the end of things, and that's
[15:15] not the case. We live in 2023.
[15:17] People who have periods can still go out there and do
[15:19] things. That makes no sense.
[15:20] And I'm probably going to get cancelled by some feminist
[15:22] people. I'm so sorry.
[15:23] Please don't cancel me. That was mentally terrible joke.
[15:27] OK, I'm going to go a step further.
[15:28] I'm I'm, I'm sorry for interrupting our question with
[15:30] this, but I just remembered this great joke that Anne Hathaway
[15:34] once cracked on with Jon Stewart on The Daily Show many years
[15:39] ago. What is 6.9?
[15:42] It is great time. Ruined by a period.
[15:46] Yes, exactly. I have heard this joke.
[15:52] Yes. Yeah.
[15:55] Oh, OK. Coming back to our office
[15:58] correspondence. What?
[16:00] What is risky about what you did?
[16:02] No, I I don't know. I I have tried some very
[16:04] terrible responses. None of them make any sense.
[16:07] I don't know. I don't know what is the right
[16:09] response. Gen.
[16:09] Z might interpret this as a sign of anger or coldness.
[16:16] Yes, yes. So yes.
[16:17] Let me read out the explanation for this.
[16:19] And this just really shocked me now because Gen.
[16:21] Z grew up communicating digitally because they are the
[16:24] only generation which has had Internet from a very young age,
[16:28] right? So because they grow up
[16:29] communicating digitally, the way the generation uses punctuation
[16:32] marks is very different from their elders, which is you and
[16:36] I, periods don't really serve a purpose anymore.
[16:41] Every single sentence is sent in a separate message.
[16:44] So young people usually omit this kind of punctuation.
[16:48] Gen. Z may think that the sender made
[16:50] a conscious decision to use a period and that its purpose may
[16:54] be to convey intonation. A full stop may come across as
[16:59] This is what I'm saying, period, and that may sound angry and
[17:03] cold. The only punctuation marks.
[17:06] This is the interesting part. The only punctuation marks that
[17:09] Gen. Z still commonly relies on are.
[17:13] I mean, can you guess which are the only punctuation marks that
[17:15] they rely on? The greater than symbol No.
[17:22] Wanna try again? OK, but I've seen the greater
[17:25] than symbol where you being used in the way like.
[17:27] OK, this is amazing, but maybe I'm wrong.
[17:30] I'm guessing it's not the common one.
[17:33] Comma seems Question mark No no. Yeah, perhaps, yes.
[17:36] One is a question mark and the other.
[17:38] OK, the exclamation mark, then yes, so that those the only two,
[17:43] yes. So the only punctuation marks
[17:44] generally still common relies on are exclamation and question
[17:47] marks to convey emphasis or inquiry.
[17:51] In their book, Cats and colleagues wrote that people in
[17:53] Gen. Z are mindful that their texts
[17:56] and messages can easily be perceived as sarcastic, rude or
[18:00] confrontational, so they avoid shouty caps, commas and full
[18:05] stops. Even commas.
[18:08] OK, Very unexpected and a lovely piece of trivia.
[18:12] I like that. I learned something new.
[18:15] So it's your turn, Aditya. Alright.
[18:19] So now since we were doing questions, since we were doing
[18:23] slangs from other parts of the world, I thought why not do it
[18:26] from another country that I visited?
[18:28] And I loved the slang there. This was Australia, so it's
[18:33] closer to home at least, because they speak English, but also
[18:36] their English is so different that it almost feels like a
[18:39] different language. Yeah, my, yeah, yeah, yeah, my.
[18:42] Ohh, that's That's just scratching.
[18:44] The surface is bad. That's just bad, yeah.
[18:48] What do you think Akadaka means? Akadaka is AC/DC.
[18:54] I'm an AC/DC and I know what Akadaka means.
[18:57] OK, all right. Vineet knows the stuff, all
[18:59] right? Akadaka is AC/DC.
[19:01] Or how an Australian would refer to the band AC/DC.
[19:06] What is Barbie? That's a BBQ.
[19:08] You put the shimp on the Barbie. That's the shrimp on the Barbie.
[19:12] That's right. OK, this one is.
[19:17] I had never even heard this word before, before I went to
[19:19] Australia and it's called bogan. Do you know what Bogan is?
[19:23] Yeah, it's like a kind of an Australian redneck, right?
[19:28] That's pretty much that description.
[19:30] It might be considered offensive in some context, but yeah, from
[19:34] what I from what I saw being used around me, it was not.
[19:37] It wasn't something that you can't say, like people do use
[19:40] the word still. How do you know?
[19:42] Actually, what's the actual pronunciation?
[19:44] Is it bogan? Bogan.
[19:46] How do you know? How do you from From the
[19:47] Australians around me? I heard it was bogan, so perhaps
[19:50] not in the polites of companies you want to use this word, but
[19:53] maybe in general common slang it's it's acceptable.
[19:56] What about Dax? Oh, Dax?
[20:00] Isn't there an actor by the name of Dax?
[20:02] Shepherd? No, nothing.
[20:04] Oh, that is true, but this is a DAX with DAKS.
[20:08] Oh, it's short for dancing around the kangaroo is silly.
[20:14] I really wish that was the meaning now, because that is so
[20:16] much better than what it means. I have no clue and you'll have
[20:20] to tell me what this is. It's trousers, and it comes from
[20:24] tracky dacs. So sweatpants like track suit
[20:26] pants. Cracky dacs.
[20:28] So dacs is trousers. Ah, ah yeah, I like that.
[20:35] Is a very apt response to finding out that trivia.
[20:40] OK1 last one what does trya mean?
[20:45] How do you spell that STRAYA? Isn't that an investment
[20:50] company? I'm sure it is, but not in the
[20:54] context of Australian slang. OK, Trya, No, nothing.
[21:01] Nothing comes to mind. It is Australia.
[21:05] Oh my God, yeah. Oh my God.
[21:11] God, at this point I have. To.
[21:16] So taking that logic, we should start calling India Dia.
[21:19] Dia. Yes.
[21:23] Hey, hello, Excuse me, it is Bharath Okay.
[21:25] Please don't. So then it'll be rut.
[21:27] Mess that up rut. I'll go to Rut and be back, man.
[21:31] I'm just stuck in the rut. Yes, yes, we are so getting
[21:34] cancelled. We are so getting cancelled.
[21:39] Alright, at this point I have to give a shout out to one of my
[21:42] absolute favorite YouTube channels.
[21:44] It's called Aussie Man Reviews. It's this Australian guy who's
[21:47] reviewing random stuff and he does it in the thickest
[21:50] Australian accent with the most fair dinkum, another Australian
[21:55] slang, which means honestly, fair dinkum usage of Australian
[21:59] slang. And it's phenomenally hilarious.
[22:02] You just have to watch it to believe it.
[22:04] Yeah. Please go check out Aussie man
[22:05] reviews. Nice, nice.
[22:08] That was an enjoyable set of trivia.
[22:11] I'm gonna just, you know, do some very basic Do you know what
[22:15] this means? Set of questions, Right.
[22:17] So do you know what Bop means? Bop.
[22:23] These are all just stuff that I found really weird so.
[22:28] Bop bop, I feel. Like there are two meanings for
[22:32] it, one yeah one is safe for work and one is but very not
[22:37] safe for work. So I mean like I think the more
[22:40] common usage is the safer work one.
[22:41] So if you can guess that BOP, is it an acronym?
[22:47] No, it's not, is it, to touch someone on the nose?
[22:51] No, that I think would be technically Boop, not Bob.
[22:54] Yeah, that's what I was thinking.
[22:56] Boop. OK, So what is a Bob?
[22:59] The very gensy slang, very gensy.
[23:03] Only thing I can think of is birds of paradise.
[23:06] No, no, it's it's not an acronym.
[23:07] It's not an acronym. Yeah, you said it's not an
[23:09] acronym. So it's a BOP.
[23:11] A BOP. You know what?
[23:12] I'm just going to pull one right out of thin air.
[23:15] A bop is when somebody is driving a car and it suddenly
[23:21] breaks down in the middle of the road and they don't want to do
[23:25] anything about it, so they just leave it right there because
[23:27] it's a very old car. I bopped that car.
[23:31] Wow. I mean Aditya, that is.
[23:35] You could not be more wrong with that answer.
[23:42] It is the wrongest I've ever been, yes.
[23:45] So a bop is Gen. Z slang for, and this is true, a
[23:51] song that is very enjoyable. Oh, OK, yeah.
[23:56] Yeah, that makes a lot. Worse that that's it can also be
[23:59] verb. So basically you can also use it
[24:01] and send like when the songs beat is so dope you gotta bounce
[24:05] to it to a little Dang bro, that beat so hard you got me bopping.
[24:10] Yeah, that was me trying to sound like a gensy person.
[24:15] I've never wanted to shut you up more than in the last 10
[24:18] seconds. Just stop talking with me.
[24:26] No, but I'm I'm going to continue this.
[24:28] I'm going to imitate every Gen. Z person I know but the non safe
[24:31] for work version of this is. There is also.
[24:33] It's also a name to call a female who gives head to anyone.
[24:39] Wow, Okay. Yeah, they call them a bop
[24:43] because when they give head, they bop their heads.
[24:46] All right. That is really NSFW.
[24:49] OK. All right.
[24:50] Yes, we'll have to. We'll have to mark this episode
[24:52] as explicit. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[24:54] I I recommend just editing that part out entirely.
[24:59] Yeah. OK.
[25:00] Word. OK.
[25:02] So the second question in that set is if someone responds mood
[25:07] to something you say, what does that mean?
[25:09] Like you say something in the response thing, mood.
[25:13] It's a mood, it's a vibe. It's cool.
[25:15] It's fun. Yeah, you're basically
[25:17] describing what they use for Vibe.
[25:19] It's not. Oh man.
[25:21] OK, it's a mood means yeah, I'm going to pull one more out of
[25:25] the thin air. It's mood is what does it.
[25:29] Use it in a sentence and I'll tell you exactly the meaning.
[25:34] No, that's just it. They're just going to say mood.
[25:36] It's one word, a mood. But what is it?
[25:38] What is it in response? To OK, say for example, you know
[25:43] I was rejected again. You say I was rejected again and
[25:47] I say mood ohh. It means that I think you need
[25:52] to talk to a therapist and feel your feelings out and really
[25:57] process this trauma that you have gone through recently
[26:01] because that is the really appropriate way of dealing with
[26:04] heartbreak and trauma and pain in life in general mood.
[26:09] You got one part of that right. You are empathizing with them in
[26:13] the sense like. Basically when you say mood,
[26:16] you're telling them that you relate to them and you empathize
[26:19] with what they're saying. So it's used to express
[26:22] something that is relatable. So you remember like when we
[26:26] were younger, we used to say same like I was and I feel bored
[26:30] and you'd be like same, yeah, the same thing but different
[26:34] like. So instead of same now they say
[26:36] mood like one of the many terms it uses mood.
[26:39] And if something is especially relatable, like you know you
[26:42] relate to it very strongly, you can say big mood, big mood, OK.
[26:49] This implies that your whole being is 1, and the same with
[26:53] whatever you're commenting on. OK, OK.
[26:57] So mood baby? Yes, yes, I I have many more of
[27:03] these. But I I don't want to blow all
[27:05] of them together. I will leave you with this.
[27:09] What does bet mean? Bet as in BET bet.
[27:14] Use it in a sentence. Like literally one word bet.
[27:19] Okay. What is it in response to?
[27:22] Okay. So somebody says, okay, do you
[27:28] want to go out for a pizza? And I say bet, bet.
[27:31] It means that I have a crippling gambling addiction and I've lost
[27:34] all my money, so I cannot accompany you on this pizza date
[27:37] until unless you agree to pay for my pizza as well bet.
[27:42] Yeah, that's a little too long. It literally means yes.
[27:50] When you agree with somebody or something, it just means yes.
[27:53] Literally, that's all it means. Yes, I I wonder why would you
[27:57] come up with slang for a word which is single syllable?
[28:01] It is not like you're shortening it further instead of saying
[28:05] yes. If I, if I, if I, if I actually,
[28:07] before knowing any of this, if I came across somebody who was
[28:09] doing this, somebody's like, you know, well, I got rejected
[28:12] today. Mood, you want to go out for a
[28:15] pizza bet, I'd be like, OK, is this guy related to Groot or
[28:18] something? He knows only one word or two
[28:20] words. That's it, yeah.
[28:23] So I'll give you the rest of the set after your question.
[28:27] I look forward to that. OK, so for the final question
[28:31] from my set, I'm gonna do something which I love, and I'm
[28:35] gonna ask you questions. I'm gonna ask you the meaning of
[28:39] words from Urban Dictionary, a website.
[28:41] Oh God. For anybody who has not seen it
[28:43] before, a fantastic way to spend an entire day doing absolutely
[28:48] nothing but just laughing. Yeah, it's a it's a rabbit hole.
[28:50] You go down it, you're not coming up again.
[28:53] And if you do, you look like the Mad Hatter.
[28:56] Exactly So what does the phrase man stand mean?
[29:01] Man stand, yeah. So I'm going to extrapolate from
[29:08] man spreading to man standing. So is this standing with a very
[29:12] wide stance, like a gunslinger or something?
[29:15] That's a good guess, but no, it's not the answer.
[29:17] By the way, all of these definitions are from urban
[29:20] dictionaries. I don't know who is using it,
[29:21] but Urban Dictionary defines it as such OK.
[29:24] OK, a man standing, I'll give you.
[29:26] I'll use it in a sentence. I've been doing the man stand
[29:30] outside that store for an hour. So he's waiting for his
[29:35] girlfriend to come out. Exactly.
[29:37] So man stand is a very heteronomative way of defining
[29:42] how a man usually stands outside a shop waiting for his
[29:47] girlfriend, slash wife or whatever to get done shopping,
[29:51] and meanwhile they're just looking into space or looking
[29:56] into their phones or talking to other men.
[29:58] Man standing near them that is a man stand.
[30:01] OK, this one. Irish handcuffs.
[30:05] What does Irish handcuffs mean? You're drunk.
[30:10] Not specifically. It is closed, but not exactly.
[30:12] Let me use it in a sentence. Hamish Oweily was in Irish
[30:17] handcuffs last night at the pub. Hamish, Obeily.
[30:20] That's a very stereotypical Irish name.
[30:25] Well, the name doesn't matter, but yes.
[30:28] Yeah, so. But he was in Irish handcuffs.
[30:32] I mean, let's go with the stereotype I, you know, Irish
[30:35] people are poets and people who have a predigious capacity to
[30:40] drink. So putting those together, I
[30:44] don't know. I'm still coming up with just
[30:45] being drunk, even close enough. I'll tell you what exactly,
[30:50] specifically being drunk. It is about a person carrying an
[30:53] alcoholic beverage in both hands at the same time.
[30:56] That's called handcuffs. I wonder what you would called
[31:00] one of those serving ventures at Oktoberfest who who carry like
[31:04] 15 steins on either hand. Yeah, I well, I don't know.
[31:08] I guess that's those are German handcuffs, German hydra.
[31:11] I don't know. These German handcuffs.
[31:17] Nice. OK, which more?
[31:22] This one is so childish I can't even believe I'm asking you
[31:25] this, But you know what? I might as well.
[31:27] What is a clutch oven? A clutch oven.
[31:31] Yeah, like, I know what a Dutch oven is.
[31:33] A clutch oven. But know even where to start.
[31:37] So what is it? You know what a Dutch oven is?
[31:40] It's, it's. Yeah, it's used for somebody.
[31:43] Ohh OK no, that's not not the Dutch oven in slang.
[31:47] Ohh OK I love this beautiful innocent mind that you have
[31:51] vineet it's cute. A Dutch oven is when somebody
[31:57] passes flatulence under covers in the in bed and and Dutch
[32:04] oven's the other person technically like like it is
[32:07] going to become extremely uncomfortable and and yeah
[32:11] rancid. I'm trying to think of the best
[32:13] possible words to use to describe in a very uncomfortable
[32:16] situation. See this episode.
[32:17] Anyway, it's going to be explicit, so just use the word
[32:19] anyway. So that's a Dutch oven.
[32:23] What do you think a clutch oven is?
[32:25] Hey, when you do it in your pants, no, no, no.
[32:30] A clutch oven is in a car full of people, so it's very.
[32:35] Clutch. Clutch.
[32:37] Yes. Nice.
[32:38] Nice. That's clutch Oven.
[32:41] OK, I'm gonna ask one last one, and if you have any qualms with
[32:48] these definitions, please take it up with Urban Dictionary.
[32:51] Do you know what chip monkeying is?
[32:53] Chip monkeying chipmunks? Not something to do with oral
[32:59] sex? Oh no, no, no.
[33:02] This isn't. This isn't sexual at all.
[33:05] This has to do with the college life.
[33:08] Chip Monkey Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.
[33:11] Somebody's watching cartoons. I don't know, but I have no
[33:14] clue. OK, so this one is something I
[33:20] think you can crack, so I'm just going to give you a sentence as
[33:22] an example. OK, Person A asks.
[33:26] Have you studied for tomorrow's exam?
[33:28] Person B responds. Nah, I'm chip monkeying all the
[33:32] lectures tonight. So they're either binging all
[33:36] the lectures close, but why chip monkeying specifically?
[33:40] You're hoarding the nuts for the winter.
[33:42] I don't know what does more. Chipmunks do think more chipmunk
[33:48] sound. What sound do chipmunks make?
[33:51] I don't know. What sound do Chipmunks make?
[33:53] Have you heard of Alvin and the Chipmunks?
[33:56] Yes, but I've never watched it, so I don't know exactly okay,
[34:00] but do you know that sound quality?
[34:02] You don't have to have watched it, but do you know that sound?
[34:04] Quality of what? Very squeaky.
[34:05] Yeah, yeah, very squeaky. You're right, you're right,
[34:07] you're right. So if I'm chipmunking all the
[34:09] lectures tonight. So you're on helium?
[34:12] No. OK, OK, I know what.
[34:15] I'll give it to you. I'll give it to you.
[34:18] The chipmunking. All the lectures basically means
[34:20] watching numerous recorded university lectures or.
[34:24] Not very fast. OK.
[34:25] You're basically on a very fast speed at a very high speed.
[34:29] You're watching it at 2X and three X's speed.
[34:32] That is chipmunking. And I think I've done a lot of
[34:36] this. I've done a lot of this in
[34:38] college and it never works like the last night before an exam.
[34:41] I'll just be like, yeah, tonight I'm gonna understand all of
[34:47] electrical engineering in in in eight hours and that never pans
[34:52] out. Honestly.
[34:53] Yeah. I'll be I'll be honest now I
[34:56] what I'm about to say, younger me, me from 20 years ago would
[35:00] absolutely kill me for saying this.
[35:02] But. It's the absolute truth.
[35:05] What you study during the year is what you end up writing on
[35:08] the paper. That is something college me
[35:12] would have never accepted we need.
[35:14] Exactly the same thing, Same thing.
[35:15] College me would not, because I've used to pull all nighters
[35:18] in the middle of the night, like wake up early morning and just
[35:21] start cramming for whatever paper.
[35:23] But trust me, at the end of the day, the answers you write
[35:27] perfectly are the ones you studied during the year.
[35:31] So this is for anybody who has heard our previous episodes and
[35:34] one of our very frequent guests, HK Hari Krishna.
[35:37] Hari Krishna was a friend of mine in college and there is
[35:40] this one exam that we were gonna go for.
[35:43] It was, I believe, database design.
[35:47] And I truly felt like I had studied online and I was gonna
[35:51] ace this exam. And just before the exam I asked
[35:54] HK one thing, like I was like, can you help me clarify this one
[35:57] thing? And HK being the excited person
[35:59] that he is, he helped. He was trying to help me
[36:02] understand the entire syllabus in the 5 minutes before the
[36:04] exam. And I went in and I gave that
[36:06] exam and I ended up with a C grade on that exam and I blame
[36:11] him. Bad.
[36:13] No, no. But I blame him because I
[36:14] thought I was gonna as that exam and I blame him till date saying
[36:17] that hey HK I got a C because of you and HK stands by the fact
[36:20] that I would have failed that exam if not for him.
[36:22] So I should be grateful to him for the C grade.
[36:25] So we have had this constant debate of what exactly does that
[36:29] C mean? Is it something I should be
[36:30] grateful for or is it something I should be angry at him for?
[36:33] And we still have, ladies. And gentlemen, first world
[36:35] problems. Getting a C is bad.
[36:41] No, I'm just. I'm just pulling it like.
[36:42] I'm just pulling it like such other quotes, yes.
[36:46] OK, anyways that is my last question.
[36:49] I'll wind up mine this thing with a set of questions, so
[36:53] let's go through this very quickly.
[36:54] They're all with the same category of questions, so let's
[36:57] see if somebody told you that you got ratioed.
[37:02] What does that mean? Ratioed as in ratio, RATIOED,
[37:07] Ratioed, you got. Ratioed you got.
[37:11] You were caught up in a lot of work that your attention was
[37:13] divided in multiple zones. No, no, no.
[37:17] Damn it. What is it?
[37:19] No idea. So when somebody gets ratioed,
[37:23] it means that they tweeted something so terrible that the
[37:27] number of replies and quotes calling them out on it is way
[37:30] more than the number of likes and retweets.
[37:34] Oh OK, that's interesting. That actually makes sense.
[37:38] Yeah, so let me move into my Gen.
[37:40] Z avatar. Damn, you got 12 likes and his
[37:44] reply got 271 likes. He totally ratioed you bro.
[37:49] I really want to tell you that you need to figure out your
[37:51] likes. My automatic response is figure
[37:57] out your likes. Oh no, no.
[38:00] I'm sticking with this character work.
[38:02] What does taking an L mean? Taking an LL oh, I know this
[38:07] one. Taking an L is basically you you
[38:13] you got put down or you lost something or or you were
[38:16] insulted or you lost. Yeah, something along those
[38:18] lines. And you're supposed to take it.
[38:19] It's OK. Yes, yes, exactly.
[38:22] When you take an L it means you experienced defeat.
[38:28] What does? And this is a little confusing.
[38:31] I'm baby mean. Yeah, this is an actual thing.
[38:36] I'm baby, I am. Baby.
[38:40] Yes. I'm baby BABY as in the young of
[38:44] the human species, and I'm assuming there's no karma here.
[38:47] I am karma, baby no. No, no, no.
[38:50] It's just I'm baby. It's a contraction.
[38:52] I'm. I apostrophe M baby oh, got it.
[38:56] I'm baby. It basically means, oh, is it
[39:00] reference to the movie Boss Baby.
[39:01] And I'm a boss, so I'm boss, but I'm baby.
[39:05] No, no, no, no. OK.
[39:07] I have no idea that. This is one of some some of the
[39:08] more literal. This is one of the more literal
[39:10] ones. I'm cranky.
[39:13] No, come on man. Babies are always cranky.
[39:16] I mean, like, they do make it their point of their existence
[39:19] to make you cranky. But let's just say that babies
[39:22] are not like when you see when you think of baby.
[39:25] I mean, like, seriously? Is cranky the first thing that
[39:27] comes to mind when you think of a baby?
[39:29] Oh, OK, fine. First thing that comes from
[39:31] cute. Yeah.
[39:32] Yeah, exactly. So same thing.
[39:34] So when you say when someone says I'm baby, they are
[39:38] referring to the fact that they are innocent, cute, gentle,
[39:41] adorable, loving, and lovable. So saying I'm baby is an easy
[39:46] way out in the middle of a harmless argument when you want
[39:49] to justify your fault by pretending that you didn't know.
[39:54] OK, OK. I'm baby, yeah.
[39:58] It's it's just weird to me. Now.
[40:00] The following two are two of the more really.
[40:04] The ones in my mind could not wrap itself around.
[40:08] What does sending me mean? Sending.
[40:11] SENDINGME. If you did, more power to you,
[40:14] man. I still don't get it.
[40:16] I can't use it. I mean, like I can't consciously
[40:19] use it in a sentence. So I've copied sentences where
[40:22] people have actually used it if you need examples.
[40:24] But yeah. Sending me is where it is making
[40:28] me feel good. Yeah, you're in the ballpark.
[40:32] You're in the ballpark. Yes.
[40:33] So when somebody sends you, it's basically means that they made
[40:37] you laugh or cackle really hard. So it is the equivalent to I'm
[40:42] screaming or I literally can't. It's basically when something
[40:45] that is little to no humor in it, but somehow you managed to
[40:48] laugh at it so. Getting into the Gen.
[40:51] Z Avatar, I'm gonna have to put a name for this.
[40:53] Gen. Z Avatar for the future, OK?
[40:55] The picture of Pete Davidson walking on the streets after
[40:58] Ariana Grande kicked him out is sending me.
[41:02] You sounded like somebody who is a massive fan of Ariana Grande
[41:07] and is going through teenage poverty.
[41:09] Yeah, I said. God is a woman.
[41:13] Indeed, indeed. Yeah, so that's sending me and
[41:16] on. This is hands down the most
[41:18] confusing one I had. What does Qg mean now?
[41:23] It's pronounced Qg. It's spelled CHEUGY QG.
[41:31] Is this also some sort of like an acronym which has been
[41:34] modified? No.
[41:35] It's not an acronym. It's not an acronym.
[41:37] QG means to stand in line waiting for your passport for
[41:43] very long and you keep biting your nails because you're an
[41:46] anxious person. I Qg'd today.
[41:51] Am I even close? No, fair enough.
[41:56] Ohh, basically I could. Technically I don't think it's I
[42:00] I don't think I'm using it right, but maybe you are being
[42:02] chooji ohh I am being chooji right now with this answer.
[42:07] Yeah, like, technically, not exactly, but I'm I'm being
[42:13] evasive. No, no, no, I I got it wrong.
[42:16] OK, so basically the chooji means.
[42:19] Juji means the opposite of trendy Okay.
[42:22] So it's it's but basically it's when someone follows those out
[42:27] of date trends. This may be but not included,
[42:30] limited to fashion habits on social media, use of slang.
[42:33] An example for this again in my Gen.
[42:36] Z avatar would be My friend told me to change out of my favorite
[42:39] pair of Miss Me jeans because they were Juji.
[42:41] And according to the New York Times, Juji can be used broadly
[42:45] to describe someone who is out of date or.
[42:48] Trying too hard, OK? That's what I meant when I said
[42:52] you were being 2G. Fair enough.
[42:54] I think I am 2G all my life. That is pretty much somebody of
[42:59] my. Be honest.
[43:01] Be honest. We've gone through a lot of
[43:04] these terms today. How many of these do you think
[43:06] that you would be actually able to use?
[43:09] Look at the fact that you know this.
[43:10] How do you think you'd be able to insert this into your
[43:12] daytoday conversation? In a nonironic manner?
[43:16] No. In fact, what I'm gonna do is
[43:19] I'm gonna go around putting full stops more often in all sorts of
[43:23] communication, just to make a point.
[43:27] Quite literally. Yeah, we're being.
[43:28] Grumpy Old Men, Yeah, by doing that will become Grumpy Old Men.
[43:33] Somebody has to. Somebody has to set this
[43:36] generation. Stand up.
[43:37] Stand up for the English language.
[43:39] But again, to all our listeners, this is all just good fun.
[43:44] Right. Generation gaps are there
[43:45] between every generation. And frankly speaking, the the
[43:50] perception on social media and among people of our generation
[43:54] and those older than us is that Gen.
[43:55] Z is spoiled there. You know, they want instant
[43:59] gratification. They're not patient, but it is
[44:01] actually far from the truth. So a few facts before we line up
[44:05] today. Epis today's episode, a few
[44:07] facts about our juniors of Gen. Z compared to previous
[44:10] generations. Members Gen.
[44:12] Gen. Z tend to live more slowly than
[44:15] their predecessors when they were at the age they have lower
[44:18] rates of teenage pregnancies, they consume alcohol less often,
[44:23] and they're more concerned than older generation with that, with
[44:26] academic performance and job prospects.
[44:28] And they are better at delaying graphic gratification than their
[44:32] counterparts in the 1960s. Despite concerns to the
[44:35] contrary, sexting has grown in prevalence.
[44:38] We don't know how that's going to affect them in the future.
[44:41] Globally, there is evidence that the average age of pubertal
[44:44] onset among girls has decreased considerably compared to the
[44:46] 20th century. Additionally, the prevalence of
[44:49] allergies among adolescents and other young adults in Gen.
[44:52] Z is greater than the general population.
[44:54] There is greater awareness and diagnosis of mental health
[44:56] conditions in many countries. Gen.
[44:59] Z youth are more likely to be diagnosed with intellectual
[45:01] disabilities and psychiatric disorders than older
[45:03] generations. And around the world, members of
[45:06] Gen. Z are spending more time on
[45:07] electronic devices and less time reading books for.
[45:11] So mixed bag, but I think a lot of misconceptions like when I
[45:15] read the the research on this because I do or to be honest was
[45:19] of this thought process, you know that they want instant
[45:22] gratification, that they are more likely to party and they're
[45:25] more likely to not pay attention to academics.
[45:28] But in as a whole, it's not true.
[45:30] Those are just misconceptions that we have.
[45:32] And so to our audience, many of whom are from Gen.
[45:36] Z, this episode was very educational for both of us.
[45:41] In somebody I would like to say Gen.
[45:42] Z, they got Riz no cap. Yeah, I don't know what that
[45:46] means. All right.
[45:52] Should we wrap this up? Yes, yes.
[45:54] Hi time we wrap this up. Aditya, what is your question
[45:56] for this week? Before I move on to the audience
[45:58] question, I'm gonna ask you a question based off of something
[46:02] you asked me. You asked me why, if in a text
[46:05] message you end with a full stop, would that be considered?
[46:09] It may be offensive or problematic to a Gen.
[46:11] Z person. And I'm gonna ask you, if I
[46:14] choose to write a message in all uppercase letters, why would
[46:17] that be considered offensive to a Gen.
[46:21] Z person? And the answer will be delivered
[46:23] next week. Yes, it shall.
[46:26] And before we wind up today's episode, let me just give the
[46:29] answer to the audience question. The audience question was Diddy
[46:33] Cotman, better known by her online alias Maya Orson Kremu.
[46:37] WAS is a Swiss developer and hacker.
[46:39] In 2023, the hacker announced that they'd gained access to a
[46:43] 2019 copy of the United States X.
[46:46] Allegedly, they had found this on an unsecured server belonging
[46:50] to a regional airline, Commute Air.
[46:52] According to the hacker, X was unusual in that over 10% of the
[46:56] entries were Mohammed. What is X?
[47:00] What am I talking about? Aditya, do you have any ideas?
[47:03] No fly list. Yes, it is.
[47:06] It is the US No Fly List. The US No Fly list, with over
[47:11] 1.5 million records of banned Flyers and upwards of 250,000
[47:15] selectees was shared publicly on a hacking forum, and apparently
[47:18] 10% of those were people named Muhammad.
[47:22] Yeah, some racial profiling there, for sure.
[47:25] Very true, very true. So that is the end of the
[47:28] episode. Thank you all for listening and
