Language evolves faster than we realize, and sometimes all it takes is one unexpected phrase to make us feel like we’ve missed an entire chapter of modern communication. In this episode of OATS UNCUT!, Host and Communication Coach Vineeta Khanna unpacks the world of Gen Z language — a world that has confused parents, startled managers, and quietly amused teachers.
But here’s the twist:
Some Gen Z terms don’t just belong in casual conversations. They actually strengthen workplace communication when used with intention.
Vineeta shares the moment she realized Gen Z speaks an entirely different dialect, how a simple phrase like “low key nervous” opened up a whole new understanding, and why these expressions are more than trends — they are reflections of how the new generation communicates emotion, efficiency, and honesty.
This episode breaks down:
• Gen Z terms that work beautifully in professional spaces
• Terms that should stay far away from boardrooms
• Why certain phrases connect across generations
• How language shapes our comfort, clarity, and confidence
• What adaptability in communication looks like today
Through stories from her classroom, real-life interactions, and her own learning curve, Vineeta explores how Gen Z language can soften tension, signal emotional truth, and make workplaces feel a little more human and relatable.
At its core, this episode is about connection — how we speak, how we listen, and how language becomes a bridge rather than a barrier.
And as always on OATS UNCUT!, this conversation is a reminder that communication isn’t just a skill; it’s a powerful tool that helps us understand each other across ages, cultures, and perspectives.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
