Introduction to 'Laughing with Gingers'
00:00:11
KRISTINA
Hey!
00:00:13
laughingwithgingers
Hey, thanks everyone for tuning into Laughing with Gingers.
00:00:17
KRISTINA
The podcasts were two feisty redheads with loud laughs, shared crazy stories, play games, and spread salinas. Enjoy.
00:00:24
laughingwithgingers
That little sassy copilot you hear over there on Laughing with Gingers is my partner in crime, Christina Curry.
00:00:31
KRISTINA
And that is Sarah Alopin, AKA Prankster Monk, and my co-hosts of Laughing with Jingers.
00:00:38
laughingwithgingers
Oh boy, I had a false start because i we haven't recorded this podcast in so long that as soon as I hit record, I wanted to go into my other podcast intro and I like for a full second was like, what the hell do I even do here?
00:00:57
KRISTINA
What's my name? Where am I? What's happening?
00:01:01
laughingwithgingers
We haven't recorded in like a month and a half.
00:01:01
KRISTINA
oh I know summer vacation, y'all.
00:01:07
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, we've just been alternating.
00:01:08
KRISTINA
It's real. Mm hmm. That's a real thing over here.
00:01:13
laughingwithgingers
It is, it is.
Slang Decades: Meaning and Evolution
00:01:15
laughingwithgingers
um Well, are you excited for today's episode?
00:01:19
KRISTINA
i Yeah, so I brought, I actually brought sling from like right now.
00:01:27
laughingwithgingers
Oh, did you?
00:01:28
KRISTINA
Yeah.
00:01:29
laughingwithgingers
OK, I brought 20th century slang.
00:01:34
KRISTINA
Oh my God.
00:01:37
laughingwithgingers
So both recent um and my game is going to be, did you ever say this? And are you embarrassed by it now?
00:01:47
KRISTINA
Oh, my God. Well, I'm going to tell you what the kids are saying literally right now um so we can be in the know. I'm sure Sarah and some listeners are a lot cooler than I am and are going to be like, yeah, Christina, we know what that means.
00:02:07
laughingwithgingers
Maybe.
00:02:07
KRISTINA
But I brought them anyway. Yeah, maybe. But yeah, I brought them anyway.
00:02:15
laughingwithgingers
All right. Well, ah do you want to go first or do you want me to go first?
00:02:20
KRISTINA
All right. Yeah, I can I can I can say a few.
00:02:23
laughingwithgingers
Okay.
00:02:23
KRISTINA
All right. Do you know what the word bussing means?
00:02:31
KRISTINA
As in those potato chips are bussing.
00:02:34
laughingwithgingers
Like really good.
00:02:36
KRISTINA
Yeah. Yeah. I don't even know what that that is derived from.
00:02:41
laughingwithgingers
Oh, you didn't bring the history of it.
00:02:44
KRISTINA
No, I did not dive that deep into it. Some of them I do know, like they actually said like how they originated, but some of them didn't say it and I didn't get into it.
00:02:55
laughingwithgingers
Oh, that's funny. I was like waiting to hear where it came from because I actually don't know where Bussin came from either. I do know what it means, but um not not the history of it.
00:03:02
KRISTINA
yeah
00:03:06
KRISTINA
ah right Well, what about drip? Her shoes and belt are dripping today.
00:03:13
laughingwithgingers
like looking really good.
00:03:15
KRISTINA
Yeah, it's supposed to mean like an elevated style or like a sophisticated way of ah being or an appearance or whatever.
00:03:24
laughingwithgingers
Yeah.
00:03:25
KRISTINA
Again, I don't know where that came from. And I definitely don't use this in my everyday language.
00:03:30
laughingwithgingers
i In my mind, it has to do with like texture, but I don't know why.
00:03:36
KRISTINA
um a
00:03:38
laughingwithgingers
um Like it makes me think of like satin or something that like like would or like sequence like where it's gonna water is gonna roll off, but I'm sure that that's wrong. It's just what my mind visually does.
00:03:55
KRISTINA
I like it. i like it yeah i like The ah satin silky flow that that it has or something.
00:04:04
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, that's exactly like it were like water.
00:04:08
KRISTINA
yeah I can get that. I can get on board with that.
00:04:12
laughingwithgingers
Yeah. But I mean, that just might be my visual. um Yeah. ah You want some wine?
00:04:21
KRISTINA
Yeah, I do.
00:04:23
laughingwithgingers
OK, so to be clear for everyone who doesn't know and no judgments because centuries are confusing. um
00:04:34
KRISTINA
They are.
00:04:36
laughingwithgingers
This is primarily from the 1950s to the 1990s. this slang that I am. um So that is the century we are talking about. So this is stuff that we probably would have heard from our parents. And it's stuff we would have said. So um did you ever say germsville?
00:05:04
KRISTINA
Oh my God, definitely no.
00:05:08
laughingwithgingers
Did your parents ever say germsville?
00:05:11
KRISTINA
No, definitely no. I feel like that's like Nickelodeon time.
00:05:18
laughingwithgingers
So in the 50s, when you got sick, you didn't come down with something. You ended up on a one-way street to Germsville, which was the doctor's office.
00:05:26
KRISTINA
Oh, my God. and My parents are like a little yeah on the younger end, like they were in high school in the 70s, like early 70s.
00:05:39
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, I mean, my my parents were born in the early 50s.
00:05:46
KRISTINA
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:05:48
laughingwithgingers
but you still like pick up a lot from your parents. So I
00:05:52
KRISTINA
Did you say, germ did they say Germsville?
00:05:56
laughingwithgingers
don't think my parents were cool enough to say germspell.
00:06:00
KRISTINA
Is it cool to say Jerseyville?
00:06:03
laughingwithgingers
I do remember people saying it though, like in middle school for some reason, like that's where my memory of that comes from.
00:06:11
KRISTINA
Oh, my God, that's funny. Also, though, you know, these things can be regionally focused as well. So slang can be, you know, maybe on the East Coast is what they said in the 50s and not necessarily like south or west or something.
00:06:30
laughingwithgingers
True. Yeah, I don't know. Okay, what about cruising for a bruising?
00:06:40
KRISTINA
I mean, I definitely remember that, that saying, and I'm not gonna say I actually said it, but I feel like it definitely entered pop culture for me.
00:06:53
laughingwithgingers
It's also from the 50s and it is their version for those of you who don't know. It's their version of a face that's just begging to be punched.
00:07:10
KRISTINA
ah That's funny. I always like I can understand that meaning, but I always thought it was like the meaning of your doing something that's really irritating and you're going to get like beat up.
00:07:22
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, that's exactly right. Like you're looking to get, you're looking for trouble.
00:07:27
KRISTINA
Mm hmm.
00:07:29
laughingwithgingers
Um, you're like being annoying and antagonizing people. Yeah, that's, um, yeah, I think my parents did say that one.
00:07:39
KRISTINA
Yeah, I could see that.
00:07:41
laughingwithgingers
What about made in the shade?
00:07:46
KRISTINA
I definitely remember that. I don't think I ever said it or my parents ever said it.
00:07:56
laughingwithgingers
So in the 50s, that meant um being made in the shade meant that things were going really well for you and you didn't have a care in the world.
00:08:04
KRISTINA
Mm hmm.
00:08:05
laughingwithgingers
So shade is a good thing in the 50s, whereas when you throw shade ah in the, ah what, like 2010s, is that when you threw shade?
00:08:15
KRISTINA
yeah i don't know i don't i think they're still throwing it ah it's still being thrown i don't need any sunburns please
00:08:17
laughingwithgingers
um
00:08:26
laughingwithgingers
Oh my god, I will take the shade. Please. Oh god, you want to give me some current ones?
00:08:39
KRISTINA
Yeah. Okay.
Modern Slang: Acronyms and Social Media Influences
00:08:40
KRISTINA
So the acronym GOAT, do you know what it stands for?
00:08:45
laughingwithgingers
Greatest of all time.
00:08:47
KRISTINA
Yeah. I only found that out not that long ago. And there was another acronym that I looked up embarrassingly recently. Cause I'm like, I finally don't know what this means. I'm just going to look it up. And it's the Y I Y K Y K.
00:09:04
laughingwithgingers
If you know, you know.
00:09:05
KRISTINA
Yeah.
00:09:08
KRISTINA
I kept seeing it everywhere. I'm like, Oh God, Chrissy, just look it up. Just look it up.
00:09:13
laughingwithgingers
For me, the one that I always forget is T-I-L. Today I learned.
00:09:18
KRISTINA
Yeah. Yeah. That one is another one. There's another one. Oh God, I can't think of it right now, but there's a few that they abbreviate, especially on Reddit. Reddit's really good at abbreviating things that I'm like, I don't know what that means.
00:09:35
KRISTINA
um And then OK, here's here's another one I've got. Let's see. I've got I've got like four or five more. So this one, I actually have the origin and it's yeah.
00:09:47
laughingwithgingers
Ooh.
00:09:48
KRISTINA
And you might be able to guess this one, but it's Riz.
00:09:52
laughingwithgingers
Oh yeah, I know the origin of it, but you should you should read it.
00:09:55
KRISTINA
Yeah, I did not know this word nor have I ever used ribs at all. ah Do you use that word, Sarah?
00:10:05
laughingwithgingers
I'm not opposed to Riz, but no, I don't use it.
00:10:11
KRISTINA
Yeah, okay, so it originated from charisma, describes the captivating charm an Allura person exudes.
00:10:16
laughingwithgingers
Mmhmm.
00:10:21
KRISTINA
Its pronunciation mirrors its spelling, Riz, and the slang term gained traction among teenagers on the platforms like TikTok and various social media channels. ah But it's not actually just about the physical attractiveness that encompasses the ability to mesmerize others with one's own personality or like your presence. So it's not necessarily just about looks.
00:10:46
laughingwithgingers
Yeah.
00:10:46
KRISTINA
So there you go.
00:10:48
laughingwithgingers
Yeah. I mean, it makes sense. I always, with all of these, I always wonder if people are going to name businesses or brand around words like race.
00:11:00
KRISTINA
Mm hmm.
00:11:01
laughingwithgingers
Eventually it goes out, like, or my list wouldn't exist.
00:11:06
KRISTINA
Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly.
00:11:11
KRISTINA
Oh.
00:11:12
laughingwithgingers
Oh, man. um This one, I suspect you either heard or used. We'll see.
00:11:20
KRISTINA
oh
00:11:20
laughingwithgingers
It is pad.
00:11:23
KRISTINA
Oh, like your place where you live.
00:11:26
laughingwithgingers
Mm hmm.
00:11:27
KRISTINA
Yeah, I don't know if I ever used it, but it was a huge part of just how people talked around me.
00:11:36
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, I feel like, was it Clueless that made this? I should just look. um I feel like Clueless made this famous.
00:11:46
KRISTINA
Yeah, they might have. It was definitely like something that was said in so many movies and shows and everything.
00:11:56
laughingwithgingers
Yeah. Yeah, so um people in the 50s possibly thought they were frogs is what this article said. um Or they end being amphibious life. Yui can't think of a better explanation for why they'd call their apartments their pad.
00:12:18
KRISTINA
ah
00:12:18
laughingwithgingers
I think it's the weirdest term. I always hated it.
00:12:23
KRISTINA
Yeah, it is a little weird and didn't quite make any sense.
00:12:29
laughingwithgingers
But wasn't Pimp My Pad one of those shows, those like, um oh God, who did Pimp My Ride exhibit?
00:12:35
KRISTINA
Like mt MTV.
00:12:38
laughingwithgingers
Yeah.
00:12:39
KRISTINA
I remember Pimp My Ride. You're probably right. Pimp my pad. It just sounds so weird.
00:12:46
laughingwithgingers
It's so weird.
00:12:51
KRISTINA
Oh, God.
00:12:53
laughingwithgingers
Yeah.
00:12:53
KRISTINA
Yeah, I had to open a show.
00:12:56
laughingwithgingers
um This one I definitely used. Wet rag.
00:13:03
KRISTINA
Oh, like someone's like being a poo poo head.
00:13:10
laughingwithgingers
Yep. If somebody's no fun, um they ah then they are being a wet rag.
00:13:17
KRISTINA
No one likes a wet rag.
00:13:21
laughingwithgingers
No one likes a wet rag.
00:13:22
KRISTINA
It's kind of a gross description.
00:13:25
laughingwithgingers
It really is. It really is. Do you want to give me some more of yours?
00:13:31
KRISTINA
Yes, so ah there is a word I definitely haven't used this. um And I guess I heard it, but I didn't know exactly what it meant, but it's the word bet.
00:13:48
KRISTINA
B-E-T. So it's used to express agreement, confirmation, or understanding. Like, we're meeting at seven, right? And then the other person responds, bet.
00:14:01
laughingwithgingers
Oh, like you bet.
00:14:03
KRISTINA
Yeah. Yeah. They can't be bothered to say you.
00:14:09
laughingwithgingers
It's like when people started saying whatever, because they couldn't be bothered to say whatever.
00:14:12
KRISTINA
Yeah.
00:14:17
KRISTINA
Time is of the essence.
00:14:22
laughingwithgingers
It's so weird. I mean, charisma is like that too. Riz is like that too, you know?
00:14:26
KRISTINA
Exactly. um Or, you know, the acronym GOAT. You can't just claim someone is greatest of all time. ah It's so weird.
00:14:42
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, I mean, unless they're claiming it about me, then in which case they would be correct.
00:14:46
KRISTINA
But then I'm OK with it.
00:14:50
KRISTINA
Oh, God.
00:14:52
laughingwithgingers
um You want to give me another one or you want me to go?
00:14:53
KRISTINA
All right.
00:14:56
KRISTINA
I'm throwing it to you.
00:14:58
laughingwithgingers
All right. um Shindig.
00:15:01
KRISTINA
Oh, yeah, I totally said that. I feel like I still do.
00:15:08
laughingwithgingers
I might also still say it.
00:15:08
KRISTINA
ah
00:15:10
laughingwithgingers
I don't know. um So it's not just a party.
00:15:11
KRISTINA
um
00:15:13
laughingwithgingers
It's a shindig. It grew in popularity during the 60s because of a wildly popular TV show called shindig, which I have never heard of.
00:15:24
KRISTINA
No, me neither.
00:15:24
laughingwithgingers
um Where you could catch performances by hot artists like James Brown, the Beach Boys and Tina Turner. um So to describe your party as a shindig meant it was so groovy, Sunny and Cher might show up.
00:15:40
KRISTINA
I just use it as like a blanket term of like a get together, you know?
00:15:47
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, yeah, i I would have never thought of it that way.
00:15:52
KRISTINA
Yeah, it was like an elevated fanciness.
00:15:56
laughingwithgingers
What about psych?
00:15:59
KRISTINA
Oh, my God. I think I definitely use that when I was a kid. Mm hmm. It's so ridiculous. I feel like Bart Simpson made that popular or something.
00:16:14
laughingwithgingers
Oh my God, probably. um When something is presented and then it's quickly taken away, this is a taunting jovial or a taunting word for jovial denial. So um it would be like me saying, hey, Christina, you want to um you want a piece of gum? Sure, here you go. And then I pull the pull it away and go, psych.
00:16:40
laughingwithgingers
It's so dumb.
00:16:42
KRISTINA
It's so ridiculous, like I definitely said that as a kid. It's a kid of the 90s right there.
00:16:53
laughingwithgingers
Yep, yep. What about cool beans?
00:16:58
KRISTINA
Oh, yeah, definitely.
00:17:02
laughingwithgingers
Use it in a sentence, Christina.
00:17:06
KRISTINA
I think Sarah is cool beans.
00:17:13
laughingwithgingers
So it means like, um Basically, it's an expression of approval, I guess is how I would describe it.
00:17:18
KRISTINA
yeah yeah It means you're a cool beans. What's the origin of that?
00:17:26
laughingwithgingers
I don't know.
00:17:29
KRISTINA
So weird. I definitely use those as a kid.
00:17:33
laughingwithgingers
It's so weird. It's so weird. um Do you want to give me how many more do you have?
00:17:41
KRISTINA
um One, two, three.
00:17:45
laughingwithgingers
Okay, you want to give me one more and then I'll give you two?
00:17:48
KRISTINA
Yeah. OK, so the most popular Gen Z slang word right now, according to the Internet, is Dalulu.
00:17:59
laughingwithgingers
Delusional.
00:18:00
KRISTINA
Yeah, yeah, delusional thinking or delusional behavior. Commonly used to dismiss unrealistic or irrational ideas.
00:18:13
KRISTINA
Delulu. It's kind of funny. I like it. I might have to use it.
00:18:18
laughingwithgingers
there's
00:18:21
laughingwithgingers
There's probably not until the rest of the cool kids stop using it though.
00:18:26
KRISTINA
I know, I know. Well, as soon as I start using it, they're going to be like, mer no, can't use that word now.
00:18:34
laughingwithgingers
but
00:18:37
laughingwithgingers
ah What about this one, Christina? Did you ever use the phrase don't have a cow?
00:18:44
KRISTINA
Oh, God, I'm sure seven year old k Christina thought it was so funny and totally said that to my mom.
00:18:56
laughingwithgingers
That is exactly what I think happened with me. um So when you're getting too emotional or upset about something, you're having a cow. How exactly a cow is being had is open-term irritation.
00:19:08
KRISTINA
Had.
00:19:11
laughingwithgingers
Are you giving birth to the cow?
00:19:16
laughingwithgingers
Are you inviting the cow home? um
00:19:20
KRISTINA
I mean, this is on Bart Simpson again, I think.
00:19:24
laughingwithgingers
It is, actually. that is this He is credited with this one. um so he I think invented the or they invented this for Bart Simpson. um
00:19:34
KRISTINA
Oh my gosh.
00:19:35
laughingwithgingers
so he says ah When he says, don't have a cow, seriously, don't do that, um then today, of course, it's something that only older people say.
00:19:49
KRISTINA
Oh, God. I mean, I think I grew out of it pretty quick.
00:19:56
KRISTINA
Oh, no.
00:19:57
laughingwithgingers
Oh, man. It is a really cute little saying now I always imagined the cow is like a small cow that you were just like bringing home. you Like on a little rope leash.
00:20:10
KRISTINA
I always was like, am I birthing a cow?
00:20:17
laughingwithgingers
Honestly, that's probably more likely what it meant. But I like my visual better.
Regional Slang: Unique Terms and Origins
00:20:23
KRISTINA
Yeah, yours is better, honestly.
00:20:27
laughingwithgingers
Do you want to give me your last one and then I'll give you two more?
00:20:30
KRISTINA
Yeah, okay, so I have two that are actually like ah related to the area that you live in.
00:20:33
laughingwithgingers
Oh, right.
00:20:40
laughingwithgingers
Oh.
00:20:41
KRISTINA
So there's Chicago slang words, where I've not ever heard of them, but one is called a French room. And it refers to the front room of a bungalow or a flat, typically positioned overlooking the street. And the space often houses the family's finest furniture, but is primarily reserved for entertaining guests and or unwrapping Christmas presents.
00:21:07
laughingwithgingers
Ah, that's a living room for us.
00:21:10
KRISTINA
Mm hmm. Yeah. So I guess French room meaning like fun, but lunch room, but like also like fancy and, you know, all that wrapped into one. um And then there's a ah word called gangway, which denotes the sidewalk situated between two houses in a narrow space, which I think they mean an alleyway.
00:21:39
laughingwithgingers
That that's what it sounds like.
00:21:42
KRISTINA
Yeah, but they call it a gangway.
00:21:47
KRISTINA
I know it's like, does that mean it's like, you know, like gangs, like gangsters? It's they're like.
00:21:52
laughingwithgingers
Like gang activity.
00:21:54
KRISTINA
Yeah, yeah, in the dark alleyway.
00:21:58
laughingwithgingers
Maybe we always had graffiti in our alley.
00:21:59
KRISTINA
ye I mean, garbage goes there and people running for under the cover of a night.
00:22:11
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, you know, huh. I have never heard of either of those.
00:22:15
KRISTINA
Yeah.
00:22:17
KRISTINA
Me neither. But I don't live in Chicago.
00:22:19
laughingwithgingers
And yeah, well, I don't either. And also, I'm not from Chicago. And it's halfway between us.
00:22:29
KRISTINA
Exactly.
00:22:33
laughingwithgingers
It's toward me and toward you. we We could meet there. It would be about the same distance to fly.
00:22:40
KRISTINA
ah Yeah, I would. It would. It's kind of smack in the middle.
00:22:46
laughingwithgingers
All right, have you ever slash do you still use this word? Word.
00:22:57
KRISTINA
Yes, and yes.
00:23:01
laughingwithgingers
Oh my God, you still use.
00:23:03
KRISTINA
I think I use it in like ironic ways.
00:23:06
laughingwithgingers
ah
00:23:06
KRISTINA
you know
00:23:10
KRISTINA
ah Just to be funny.
00:23:14
laughingwithgingers
Oh my gosh. um So for all of you out there who don't know, um word was sort of a punctuation that either you said or someone else said back to you. So shouting word essentially means I rest my case, which is not how I would describe it. But that's how this article does. So ah yeah, you wouldn't either. It's like, I would say that's the word. Like, it's just like a And it can also be used, yeah, it also can be used as a yes.
00:23:45
KRISTINA
It's an agreement.
00:23:49
KRISTINA
Yeah, exactly. It could be a yes, an agreement, a confirmation, or just an end to that discussion.
00:23:58
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, exactly. um Which I guess is what they mean by I rest my case, but that seems like not how I would describe it.
00:24:00
KRISTINA
Like we're ending this.
00:24:06
KRISTINA
Oh, yeah.
00:24:09
laughingwithgingers
um
00:24:10
KRISTINA
me
00:24:11
laughingwithgingers
And if you add to your mother, mother that really settles it.
00:24:20
KRISTINA
right
00:24:21
laughingwithgingers
Oh my God, word has been delivered to your mother, so don't even bother with a counter argument.
00:24:23
KRISTINA
no
00:24:28
KRISTINA
Don't even. I think LL Cool J said that word to your mother.
00:24:36
laughingwithgingers
Oh my God. Yes, he did. Remember there was that song, Word Up?
00:24:42
KRISTINA
Yeah. yeah
00:24:44
laughingwithgingers
ah Oh my God, so funny. Okay, I will give you one more.
90s Slang: Gestures and Humor
00:24:55
laughingwithgingers
Talk to the hand.
00:25:00
KRISTINA
Because the face don't look that way. How do I finish that?
00:25:05
laughingwithgingers
The face isn't li or ain't listening.
00:25:08
KRISTINA
Can't listen in something like that.
00:25:08
laughingwithgingers
Isn't that what it is?
00:25:09
KRISTINA
Yeah, something like.
00:25:11
laughingwithgingers
Yeah.
00:25:15
KRISTINA
Oh, my God, that's so ridiculous.
00:25:19
laughingwithgingers
So whatever the other person is trying to tell you, you are rejecting when you say talk to the hand and it had a hand motion to it was like your hand like swooped over your shoulder like
00:25:28
KRISTINA
Yeah, talk to the hand.
00:25:32
laughingwithgingers
There's like a ah rotation with it, like, yeah, like a stop to the word up stock.
00:25:39
KRISTINA
There's a whole dance. There's a whole dance to it. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Yeah, that's so funny.
00:25:48
laughingwithgingers
So it means you're no longer interested in the conversation. And if they want to continue anyway, well, they are welcome to direct their grievances toward your open palm that you have in their face.
00:26:00
KRISTINA
It's a very professional way of describing that.
00:26:04
laughingwithgingers
Oh, God, I have 100 of these. So we can definitely do more.
00:26:09
KRISTINA
Oh my God. Oh my God. TBD.
00:26:17
KRISTINA
a
00:26:17
laughingwithgingers
Oh, my God, there's so many that came from clueless or that clueless made popular.
00:26:21
KRISTINA
Oh.
00:26:23
KRISTINA
i
00:26:23
laughingwithgingers
um As you go further down, it's just so funny because these are all organized by like what you
00:26:30
laughingwithgingers
like decade they actually were said.
00:26:31
KRISTINA
Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
00:26:34
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, like Christina.
00:26:35
KRISTINA
As if.
00:26:37
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, that's, that's on here. um God, I forgot about that.
00:26:39
KRISTINA
He's a Monet.
00:26:45
laughingwithgingers
So for reference, everyone as if is a sarcastic retort to a preposterous suggestion.
00:26:45
KRISTINA
you
00:26:52
laughingwithgingers
So, um like, he thinks he's gonna get married and have a bunch of kids with me as if. Like I can't even. That's, it's been.
00:27:03
KRISTINA
i i it's Yeah, I can't even like a upgraded version. I definitely said both of those.
00:27:14
laughingwithgingers
Oh God, my favorite is when, cause there were so many in like the nineties that came with a hand motion.
00:27:14
KRISTINA
ah
00:27:20
KRISTINA
he
00:27:23
KRISTINA
who Yeah, we were very ah gesture heavy.
00:27:29
laughingwithgingers
Yes. When you delivered an insult, you punctuated it with a gesticulation.
00:27:37
KRISTINA
Wait, there was to like too legit to quit. can't I don't remember. I don't remember how to do it.
00:27:46
KRISTINA
Do you remember that one?
00:27:46
laughingwithgingers
Oh my god.
00:27:48
laughingwithgingers
Was that LL Cool J too?
00:27:50
KRISTINA
No, it was a different group.
00:27:51
laughingwithgingers
Yeah, who was that?
00:27:53
KRISTINA
um um Oh my God, I'm blinking.
00:27:57
laughingwithgingers
And now I want to say digital underground, but I don't think that's who it is either.
00:28:01
KRISTINA
It was too legit to quit. Hey, hey.
00:28:06
laughingwithgingers
Too legit, too legit, too quit.
00:28:10
KRISTINA
Oh, God, who was it?
00:28:10
laughingwithgingers
um
00:28:12
KRISTINA
I can't. I can't. I can't think of it, but that was definitely a gesture heavy slang thing.
00:28:20
laughingwithgingers
It was da the 90s, we talked with our hands.
00:28:23
KRISTINA
Mm hmm.
00:28:25
laughingwithgingers
A lot.
00:28:26
KRISTINA
Mm hmm.
00:28:27
laughingwithgingers
And we, we did a lot of songs around our weird slang too.
00:28:29
KRISTINA
Mm hmm. Yeah, we did. You're right. They're they're not doing that these days.
00:28:39
KRISTINA
Maybe they are. I don't know.
00:28:39
laughingwithgingers
I mean, there's, the slang is very different in the 2000s and beyond too, because like they were, a lot of it was phrases.
00:28:52
KRISTINA
hu Yeah, not just a word.
00:28:54
laughingwithgingers
Um, who
00:28:59
laughingwithgingers
Yeah. And a lot of it wasn't necessarily nice either.
00:29:03
KRISTINA
yeah e
00:29:05
laughingwithgingers
So it was like if you had a beef song, it would be around, yeah, different times.
