Speaker 1 (00:00):
So I guess there's a college over in Michigan that
puts out an annual list of words that we should
stop using. Now by the time it gets to them,
they're already dead like it, you know what I mean.
But they're publishing this so that we got something to
look back at. Six seven is at the top of
the list of stop, yeah, just stop. Also cooked, cooked

(00:21):
is on the list of how do you use cooked? Now.

Speaker 2 (00:26):
It's like if you're tired or you're exhausted, like oh,
I'm cooked, or I'll be like, let me just cook,
like if I'm doing a really good job, like in
the like in whatever I'm doing in the kitchen, that
makes sense in the kitchen, work in the kitchen. I'm
trying to say, like, uh, if I'm like on a
roll with something like I'm doing good or just like
let me cook, like let me do my thing.

Speaker 1 (00:44):
Yeah, No, we're not going to let you cook because
you're not going to use it anymore. So s Yeah.
Also I say this one a lot. Don't use it.
People are tired of it. Full stop. I say full
stop a lot. I thought that was a yeah. I
did say full stop a lot. It's like I'm it
helps me not keep talking. I just say somebody that
say full stop, and I don't keep explaining myself.

feel like you haven't used it in a while, like
you already stopped.

Speaker 1 (01:10):
Good, I'm ahead of it. And then the other is
my bad. My bad is something that people get annoyed by. Oh,
