Breakfast Bonus: Do we know Gen Z slang?

Welcome to the Breakfast Bonus Podcast - an exclusive online only chat released each weekday.

Every generation has their own slang and Gen Z is no different. With Alexa recently incorporating some new slang we've decided to test if we're still hip with the kids!

Speaker 1 (00:00):
The Coast Breakfast Bonus Podcast with Tony Jason, Sam.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
Thanks for listening to our Breakfast Bonus podcast. Today we're
talking about the upgrades to Alexa. Have you got an
alixa one of those things that it's like a speaker
you can talk to I.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Don't have one, but two of my children do because
Nana got it for them.

Speaker 2 (00:16):
Oh nice. It's like having Siri on your phone, you know?

Speaker 3 (00:18):
Can I just ask a question about it? So if
you wanted, do you have to put money on it
to make certain things work?

Speaker 2 (00:24):
I think you've got to be a subscription. I think
it's a subscribe to Amazon.

Speaker 4 (00:27):
I think are you paying for that?

Speaker 2 (00:28):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:29):
Yeah? Into the Netflix and the Alexa and Google at home?

Speaker 2 (00:37):
Like why do we have both?

Speaker 4 (00:38):
So do you say hey Google?

Speaker 2 (00:40):
Yeah, Hey Google? Hey Alexa yeah? Or your vocals Hey Siri.
So anyway, Alex has been given a bit of an
upgrade now and because now it feels like gen Z
or gen Z what if you want to say, they're
the way most people are speaking. I don't believe this,
but anyway, Alexa has got the upgrade so that she
can now talk to you as a gen Z.

Speaker 4 (00:56):
How does a gen Z talk well, things.

Speaker 2 (00:59):
Like they say tea for gossip or things.

Speaker 4 (01:02):
What's the tea?

Speaker 2 (01:02):
Yeah? Things are at mid today, things are at mid.

Speaker 4 (01:04):
Do you not mid means beverage?

Speaker 2 (01:06):
Yeah? Mediocre?

Speaker 4 (01:07):
Yeah yeah. If they said mid, I agree, mediocre.

Speaker 2 (01:11):
So what they've done is I've given it twenty new
phrases to use because a survey of eighty three percent
of gen z feel that the older generation doesn't know
what they're saying, and older generations aren't really using this technology.

Speaker 4 (01:22):
So alex is better to understand the young ones.

Speaker 2 (01:24):
Apparently so apparently so. So now you'll be able to
say things like slay in the ex conversation and you'll
be sounding away cooler.

Speaker 3 (01:29):
So what you're saying is if I say to Alixa, hey, Alixa,
tell me what's a snazzy outfit to wear?

Speaker 4 (01:36):
Are you saying she's not gonna understand you.

Speaker 2 (01:38):
No, she'd tell you what slaps though, because the same thing.

Speaker 4 (01:41):
Isn't snazzy. A great will, but.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
What looks foosh? What looks?

Speaker 3 (01:48):
You know? What I heard actually from ad gen ZDA
recently is the term buddies no good anymore and they
find it offensive. So hey, buddy, I say buddy a
lot to my kids. I'll say to my son, he
apparently it's it's not cool when it's making us old
Jason and Leaks probably wouldn't understand.

Speaker 4 (02:07):
We head back and say, I'm not your buddy.

Speaker 2 (02:09):
That's right. So Aleaks of things, things like Loki or
something gives the lick.

Speaker 4 (02:15):
Youre really out of yourself here, exactly, all.

Speaker 2 (02:18):
Right, So let's see how how how up to date
