[Teen Talk] S2 Ep. 27 - Ei8ht

As a Zoomer, we need to discuss Gen Alpha slang FIRST AND FOREMOST 😤

ScoopyOopyPoopy

I can't believe the world would steal 100 men vs 1 Gorilla from this after podcast show 2 years later

David Guerrero

I picture scam as Mephisto from Blue Exorcist but a lil bit bigger build 🤭

IamSparloo

Don’t Tonk to me until I’ve have my Tonk

Drew Green

TRUE

Cody Moriah

Biggest betrayal ever has to be, and I quote: Do not trust Shepard, I repeat, Do not trust Shepard!

Andrew Worthington

my friends and I circa 2007/2008 came up with “Trophy” as a slang that evolved to “Troph” or “Trophberg” “Trophy” was used to describe someone who sweatily tried so hard at something that they deserved a participation Trophy for example: “Silent H asked his crush to homecoming in such an elaborate way and she still said no, what a Troph”

Silent H

Scam Likely is just magic man from adventure time for me

Cianan

I picture Scam Likely as Him, the devil guy from The Powerpuff Girls

Chequavia Dallis

I just realized, for some reason Scam has always kinda looked Dr. Robotnik 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️

Joe Tenschert

George almost certainly feels like he betrays Lennie, but I don't know if Lennie would think of it that way

Quantum OFZENTRIX

Hope Will finds out that “Brains” already has a sexual connotation lol

Jed

Didn't know that. it certainly popularized it though. It always bothered me but then once you play your first among us game you're like 'oh, yeah, what am I going to keep saying 'suspicious'?'

Chris

Question for the group, does George killing Lennie in Of Mice and Men qualify as a betrayal?

Christian A.

Scam Likely is Azul from Barbie as the island princess

Frankie Franco

Did anybody else feel like Scary was coming from a place like: "oops I fucked up, but im too proud to apologize for real to you men"

Dave Curriston

Me as a Gen Z-er not knowing HALF of the shit being said in the “gen z slang” section, holy shit. Guess that’s what I get for not being on tiktok? And yeah, whenever people say “gen z slang” or “internet slang,” it’s 95% of the time just appropriated AAVE lmfaooooo. “No cap,” “bussin,” “fire,” etc. etc. etc.)

Anna Deason

Tonks for this podcast!

Spinnaker

The British sitcom Coupling has a few episodes referring to one character owning a library of videos to remember his Body Count.

Joris Kemel

Ouch, I'm only(?) in my 30s but all that Gen Z slang made me feel painfully old 🥲

Michael

If you go back through the history of the English language, words get widespread adoption when they are adopted (or created!) by young women — basically teen to twenties. It was always a patriarchal society, but cool has always been determined by young ladies. I suspect this is true in other languages and maybe even for other primates. In-group signaling is obviously crucial for mating, and that’s just what slang is for on the most basic level. If Beth had said swimp, they’d’ve loved it. Sorry Freddie!

Tom!

Is based the opposite of debased?

Tom!

Ok no I love grippy sock vacation I’m not sorry 💀 lowkey the gen z slander in this one is sending me

Ashley

Also, Anthony's "wanna make out?" when he was being Link sent me

renaeisgae

I think it's funny that like half the gen z terms they talked about aren't ones anyone uses

renaeisgae

Really hoping that they plan on not blue balling us with 68.5 and that they reach that nice nice 69 episode mark.

Dragons Blood

I did try to "that's so books" today with my students and it felt very natural.

Alexandra Grilli

I picture a giant banana slug

Fearne Pérez

fuck I sound cringe. I hate speaking

TyPhoon

I love it when other Gen Zs are uncomfortable with the butchering of slang. As I am uncomfortable with slang in general. Feel my pain.

TyPhoon

Based just means that you think their opinion is good omg i have to skip this

mateo P

Absolutely brutal to listen to yall butcher gen z terms

mateo P

Oh my god the Toy Story 3 moment made me cry. Just seeing their acceptance killed me!

Invader Jimm

I think 4 or more Matt's trapped in a room with a Chimp probably win. 3 if they get lucky, anything less gets their faces ripped off.

Invader Jimm

While I get what Will was going for with 'brains' I will say that phrases 'big brained' 'galaxy brain' and 'Your brain. Huge.' are in fact already popular slang. I would assume it was popularised by a meme template a couple years back

Lollie Roberts

I described this to one of my friends and he said "why do you put yourself through these things"

The brand is actually Nongshim, and their Tonkotsu line is fine. But Shin Ramyun and Shin Black are top-tier.

John

i was hoping way too hard for a shin ramen shoutout at the end of this episode, that’s my top media betrayal

Luke

I pictured Scam Likely like a Merlin type of guy lmao

Lazaretto

The most beautifully cringe episode of dad talk or teen talk 😅😅😅

Morgan

I pictured Scam Likely as something similar to Ice King from Adventure time

Devox

I've always imagine Scam Likely as Mr Meeseeks from Rick & Morty. Just a simple, chaotic dude

Lokasenna

MillenZial here: we used sus before Among Us. That's just when everyone else discovered it. I also picture Scam as Alphys from Undertale like. & Then as Well Actually just add a trench coat and "fedora"

Pidgey koto

I don't let my kids say "shut up" to anyone in the house, but literally anything else is a go 😂🤣

Kimberly Oberklaus

"Swimp" i.e. Sam Waterson's depiction of Nick Caraway in the 70's adaptation of The Great Gatsby

Casey Francis Alger

Brain = 90s hip hop slang for a blowjob. Not just hanging brain, but also getting brain. See also, Black Rob "Whoa". But I love the repurposing.

Kevan Salisbury

It’s not technically ramen, but IndoMie rules

Jophis

Lord of the rings is Mid at best no cap

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

I feel I'm the only person who says "Sweet Nectar" instead of cool

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

Saying "brains" is very Adventure Time adjacent to things like "mathematical"

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

Omg I forget you guys are old❤️

Anna Levinson

Choose Goose from Adventure Time

Grizz Lee

I always imagined Scam Likely as Choose Goose from Adventure Time.

Grizz Lee

Ok I doubt anyone will read this much less the players but this was my defense of the word “spoopy” In college a woc friend of mine pointed out that “spook” came from a racialize slur from long ago so for a while I spent a lot of time conscientiously using replacement words every time I meant “spook” or “spooky.” Eventually I learned that the linguistic origin isn’t racist but I still personally use spoopy because I like to be annoying

maddo

Can’t believe no one mentioned “ribbed for your suffering” as a favorite

Olivia sutherland

I always imagined Scam as a big turtle on two legs, mainly cuz he's related to the Library who I just also imagined as a big turtle but with the books on his back

Lisa, Professional dumb ass

Gotta say I always pictured Scam Likely as a skinny, long-necked, cartoon (Roger Rabbit style) duck person dressed in a carnival outfit.

Donovan Arnold

I see scan likely as Koro-sensei from assassination classroom

ace of diamonds

Link definitely shows some autistic traits but not nearly as many Normal. The fact that he can't tell that nobody liked his teeny the teen and especially the backstory of him falling on his face as a little kid on purpose. He can tell that people are laughing but not the social cues that they are laughing at him, which is unfortunately exactly what it's like to grow up with autism

Phi Oglesby

I always just saw it as Gollum going "Oh no!!" because he was burning to death and in pain, pfffr

streetdreams

Dads trying to make a meme and make it popular....... yep subscribed to the right podcast

Ficus Mans Forge

Days since Anthony said “eh it was an okay episode” about one of the best episodes of the season: 0

Marie Blanchet

I love listen to older people trying to connect and understand the younger generation speech. That is how you properly use the word bussy grandpa good on you. ( all a joke. Love you guys this teen talk was a solid sode.)

Baggin_Black42

Oh and for Darrly, I always pictured the dad from big city greens. They kinda sound similar too

Cosmo Calloway

I always imagined scam likely as a fairy from fairly odd parents or that flying green frog creature from the rayman games. Wait does scam fly? Why do I think he flys? Ooh you know what! Mxyzptlk!

Cosmo Calloway

I didn't know spoopy was a thing. I use that all the time but I got it from mbmbam I think. an older episode too. Does it mean spooky? Cuz that's how I use it

Cosmo Calloway

BETHHH yaa NISSIN BRAND TONKOTSU RAMEN best instant ramen out there, all their flavors especially the black garlic . Usually 70c at Chinese grocery they have the little blond boy on the package 🍜🍜🍜🍜

jeb

I personally liked this episode way more than the previous one.

Alex

Augh, chuegy was made up by Buzzfeed! Gen Z kids got paid to spread it on TikTok for "Generation Warfare" purposes and instead they exposed Buzzfeed. It was a whole thing.

Tony Woodward

Gen z didn't love Amazon primes "the tick" enough to keep it from being FUCKING CANCELED. my absolute favorite show in recent memory, and they canceled it after two season. It's fucking tragic.

Reilly Gillis

It's funny that Matt's idea of Scam Likely is a Futurama reference when my thought was a version of Glurmo (the tour guide from Fry and the Slurm Factory).

Tymme Zinni

this was medical

Ander Brightwood

this teen talk was mid

uncanny danny

I always pictured scam likely to look kinda like the mayor from nightmare before christmas

Jack Hill

I pretty much always imagine scam likely as magic man from adventure time

Jubilee

Only ever seen "grippy socks vacation" used by people with several mental illnesses

Echo Shmecho

Disappointed that Anthony didn’t bring up MJF popularising mid.

Jubilee

As a gen z this was exceptionally funny to listen to you guys analyze current slang

Matthew Morse

So this really was just the "talk over and cut off Freddie" episode huh lmao Got kind of frustrating hearing Freddie try to start the same sentence like 5 times.

PAWGliacci

No idea why but in my head Scam Likely is a giant owl

Nyah Wilson

I've been casually pitching rated as slang. There's underrated, overrated, and now, rated. Sometimes people popularly think a thing is good, and they're right, and that thing is rated. Mazda Miata? Rated. Nintendo switch? Rated.

Racing for Tips

Was wondering the same thing

Matthew Kyle Bealmear

I imagine Scam like the original uncle fester meets GOT Varys, only with the smuggest shit eating grin

Ilana Galpert

Also sus was also AAVE! People just thought we were referring to Among Us and then that became the new term. “Sus” stood for suspect which normally just meant someone who was two faced.

Aurie Dear

The ick is when you don’t really like someone and they kind of do the final thing to turn you off. So if you already weren’t into someone then holding their fork wrong or wearing an ugly hat is like your final straw.

Aurie Dear

SUS WAS NOT FROM AMONGUS. it meant suspicious or suspect and usually aimed at something that was sort of gay

Vampire the Assquerade

To "chomp" there is already "a munch" which is a guy that is basically a lame player only going after booty

FusRohNahSon

Will rallying the fanbasw to use their new slang is the same energy as henry making Rocks Rock without the talent or efforr

FusRohNahSon

In trsponse to "infinite gets two?"

Vampire the Assquerade

Isn't hell in dbz hfil not hifl

Vampire the Assquerade

Are we not able to download episodes anymore?

Kaleb Phillips

favorite ick I’ve heard “imagining him jumping on a trampoline”.

Mikaylee W.

According to The District Bulletins on Something Awful, Swimp is the the Sweet Cookie Bear who lives in the Moon. Be sure to holler for a Superior should you see Dorroile, the most horrible man.

Purpsikins

Gonna start saying things are medical and and brains to my parents because theres nothing funnier than deploying slang theyve never heard of like its completely casual

Rowan Deen

My mind was blown when I found out that "rizz" (think, he's got the rizz) was just short for charisma.

Sarah H

i feel like we gotta give more love for the normal/hermie stuff this week - as a kid who was weird and closeted in high school, it is so important to me to see this weird dynamic represented

Mel Bee

I dont think season 2 is bad by any means, but this was the episode that fully got me on board

Andre Souza

Very funny that Anthony said Home For Infinite Losers (HFIL) and Will heard it as Home for InFinite Losers (HIFL)

Pamphleteer

Satan should wear a Santa outfit 😂

Hydro

I loved the hell episode particularly The sound editing and Satan Peter. Also if theres a slang term to bring be we need bonkers2023

JakeFrostick

Oooooh, released during my shift? Don't mind if I do ~

DeviantRabbits

Teeny saying “I’m going to do this forever” is just BURNED into my brain

Purpsikins

You guys killed it with this episode, so much creativity, one liners. Start to finish it was a blast!

Abigail Leach

Whoo-hooo! A Teen Talk posted early enough to be my dinner prep soundtrack 😁

Rebecca Thomas

Early Teen Talk?!!
