[Teen Talk] S2 Ep. 27 - Ei8ht

ScoopyOopyPoopy

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

David Guerrero

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

IamSparloo

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

Drew Green

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

Cody Moriah

TRUE

Andrew Worthington

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

Silent H

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”

Cianan

Scam Likely is just magic man from adventure time for me

Chequavia Dallis

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

Joe Tenschert

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

Quantum OFZENTRIX

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

Jed

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

Chris

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'?'

Christian A.

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

Frankie Franco

Scam Likely is Azul from Barbie as the island princess

Dave Curriston

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"

Anna Deason

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.)

Spinnaker

Tonks for this podcast!

Joris Kemel

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

Michael

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

Tom!

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?

Ashley

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

renaeisgae

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

Dragons Blood

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

Alexandra Grilli

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

Fearne Pérez

I picture a giant banana slug

TyPhoon

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.

mateo P

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

Invader Jimm

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.

Lollie Roberts

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

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

John

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

Luke

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

Lazaretto

I pictured Scam Likely like a Merlin type of guy lmao

Morgan

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

Devox

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

Lokasenna

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

Pidgey koto

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"

Kimberly Oberklaus

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

Casey Francis Alger

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

Kevan Salisbury

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.

Jophis

It’s not technically ramen, but IndoMie rules

Lorelei The Succubus and Kyra her busty Queen

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"

Anna Levinson

Omg I forget you guys are old❤️

Grizz Lee

Choose Goose from Adventure Time

Grizz Lee

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

maddo

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

Olivia sutherland

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

Lisa, Professional dumb ass

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

Donovan Arnold

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

ace of diamonds

I see scan likely as Koro-sensei from assassination classroom

Phi Oglesby

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

streetdreams

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

Ficus Mans Forge

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

Marie Blanchet

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

Baggin_Black42

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.)

Cosmo Calloway

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

jeb

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 🍜🍜🍜🍜

Alex

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

Tony Woodward

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.

Reilly Gillis

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.

Tymme Zinni

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).

Ander Brightwood

this was medical

uncanny danny

this teen talk was mid

Jack Hill

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

Jubilee

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

Echo Shmecho

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

Jubilee

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

Matthew Morse

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

PAWGliacci

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.

Nyah Wilson

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

Racing for Tips

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.

Matthew Kyle Bealmear

Was wondering the same thing

Ilana Galpert

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

Aurie Dear

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.

Vampire the Assquerade

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

FusRohNahSon

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

Vampire the Assquerade

In trsponse to "infinite gets two?"

Vampire the Assquerade

Isn't hell in dbz hfil not hifl

Kaleb Phillips

Are we not able to download episodes anymore?

Mikaylee W.

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

Purpsikins

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.

Rowan Deen

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

Sarah H

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

Mel Bee

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

Andre Souza

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

Pamphleteer

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

Hydro

Satan should wear a Santa outfit 😂

JakeFrostick

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

DeviantRabbits

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

Purpsikins

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

Abigail Leach

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

Rebecca Thomas

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

Chance

Early Teen Talk?!!
