Well, I'm not editing anymore. Back when I used to
have to deal with it, you were doing it to me.
Now you're just doing it to Corey. You look into
that camera, you apologize to Corey.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I just did it right, and I waited a long time.
Actually you did, so I think it'll be great. There's
nothing to apologize for.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You say sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You want me to apologize to you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I just want a recording of you saying sorry, to
make sure your mouth can form those shapes right.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Whenever I do something, your mouth could.
Speaker 2 (00:44):

It's a fish. Sure is. I witnessed it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You were the witness. That's right. We uh, we did
a courthouse thing for now, but we're gonna do like
a party and stuff later because our families like spread
all over the country. It's like, who do you know?
Do you invite certain people the only people who have
the resources or time to make it to the wedding.
That just seems unfair. So we just went with you.
(01:55):
You witnessed it, and then we're gonna fly to them
and have receptions.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Basically, Really, I didn't know that. I thought you were
gonna still make one.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, no, no, no, We're gonna do an la party. Then
we're gonna do one where our families are all of
the country. So that be fun. There's a brand new
missus Smalley, your step mama. Pretty cool. Yeah, she's amazing.

Yeah, what are we doing today? You start off annoying me?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You started off annoying me, bro, Well.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The difference is it's expected from me and I'm just
messing around. You take it up the butt, take it
up the butt, you take it personal, and then you're
like apologize.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
First of all, Angelica is a woman, so I take
nothing up the butty. That is none of your business.
Still do that prop Maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, that's a fact. Staying to the camera and say
I know it's straight though, yes, straight ish, yes, No, man,
there's a different there's you're you're.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Not okay, not gay, not gay, but not straight.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Male anatomy stays the same.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Sure, okay, but there's a.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Difference between one a guy versus one in the thing.
It's gross.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, well, anyway, let's keep it family.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So this one's for the boomers. Okay, this one's for
the boomers. This is the boomer episode. So all the
people that have been watching us do gen Z versus
gen X, and all the millennials talking about it. Boomer
gets thrown around as an insult.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A lot, it does.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, but they have their moment when they were cool,
just like we had our moment when we were cool,
and now we're not. And right now you think you're
the shit, and there will be a time. There will
be a time. I promise you who said there will
be a time when you're the old people and they're like, uh,
(04:19):
zoomers and they're making fun of you for being out
of touch. I swear it's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I hope I live long enough to see it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know I'm going to become old already am and
being with kids and like even like some of my
like fifteen year old like family members because of Zoe, Like,
I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm old compared to you
and what we experience.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So just wait until that's eighty percent of society, you
know what I mean. So there was a time when
they were using slang, they were using terms that their
parents didn't understand, and so I want to throw some
of those out at you today to see if you
know what these words mean, a lot of them. I
don't even want to give you any hints. I don't
want to give you any hints. But we're just gonna
to go through boomer slang.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, word jen X didn't take from boomers at all.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I feel like sometimes a little bit, yeah, a little bit,
but we had our own thing that we did that
they didn't do. Like, you know, words that I use
my mom, Like, what the hell does that mean? You
know we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Jen Alpha. Is that what it's called? Now?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Alpha's next? Yeah, but but.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
They have a different slang.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But your new little brother that's coming because we're also
having a baby. By the way, he's already going to
be Beta.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh he's not even Alpha.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
He's not even Alpha. No generation, Beta is going to
be the next.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
He's two generations. Yeah, that's crazy. That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, you're you're twenty one years apart.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, that's just I didn't really think about it like that.
I thought I just assumed he was going to be Alpha.
But Alpha right now has their own alphat.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I've had enough. Okay, that's right. I chose to have
two kids, uh, twenty one years apart.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Smart decision, honestly, So we don't have both at the
same time.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we wouldn't want to just get that over with
all at once. We want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
But his slang is going to be very different.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I've already heard some Alphas that I don't understand. We're
gonna have an Alpha episode as well. Let's get into boomers. Okay,
I'm just I'm going to tell you the word. You
tell me what you think it means. Okay, pretty straightforward,
all of it, all of its slangy groovy.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, groovy, I use groovy?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
What are you doing to the microphone?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Groovy?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Like like I would say, like if I had a
really good burger, it's groovy.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Cool, great and cool great or amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But yeah, I would have to it have to, Like
I feel like you have to do a dance with it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh? Is it because of Austin Powers? Groovy baby?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh? I have no idea, probably, but I think or
like if there's a song and it sounds.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well in music terms, there's like a groove.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah you know, Yeah, so I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Probably far out we're.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Gonna swing by. No, we can't. It's too far out.
That's that's what that would mean.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Too far out, something's far away.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, no, far out.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Try again.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, Like you're far from the point. You're far out.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're so wrong, you're so you're far out, you're far out.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, not even wrong, You're on a different subject.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I wonder if you were like transported back to the
fifties or sixties, if you would even be able to
communicate with those people.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It would be like learning a new language for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well and new lifestyle, because this is very different how
they get information versus how I would get information. You
know what I'm saying, And like if I got sent
there with my phone.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well you'd be you'd be a superstar. Yeah. Well the
towers wouldn't work or.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They would all think I'm like an alien and they're like,
what are you talking about? Technology, and then go back
to their box cables.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Far out means like and by the way, I will
I will tell you these answers on the podcast. It's
more long form for us to discuss it. I'll never
say it. I never let this out on TikTok because
I want I want people to send it to their
kids and see if they can figure out what it means.
Far out is like something is like amazing or mind blowing.
(08:44):
Like instead of saying, like, uh, something is incredible, far
out man, like we got four tickets to see Billion
the Hoppers. Far out me like something's just really cool,
something's great.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Usually when something's far out that's a bad thing. It's
like it's not close by. It sucks, But okay, dig
it Ooh, I use that. I dig it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What do you mean by that? Though?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I dig like I'm picking up what you're.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Putting down, understand or appreciate. That's what that means. Right on.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Mmm, I'll use that. I feel like our family uses
that more often, like southern Southern.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
A lot of these have come back. Yeah, came back
in a little bit early Gen X and some gen
z ers know it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Like yes, right on, like congrats.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, it was really in the seventies. It was a
lot of like right on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Man, like agreed, right on, yeah, keep yes.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yep, yeah, yep. Uh. Out of sight, out.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of sight, can't see it, it's too obvious, out of site.
Like why when I think that, I feel like I
think out of sight, out of mind, which brings me
to like ADHD and like why my pantry looks the
way that it looks. It's because everything has to be
(10:18):
at the front, because if it starts getting into the back,
it's out of sight, out of mind. I'll forget about
it and it'll rot.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So out of sight was slang for don't let your
food expire.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I well, for me, that's what it is, but I don't. Yeah,
I have to change everything about my fridge and my
pantry to make it all at the front so I
see it, so I know it's there. Otherwise I will
forget about it. But as far as slag out of sight,
like you can't see it anymore, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Gonna spell it for you. O U T T A SIGHD.
Out of sight.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
An insult.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
It's an insult meaning meaning.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't want to see you.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's out of sight, get out of my face. Yeah,
that's what it means. Hey, out of sight?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah like yeah, yeah, well maybe it's too straightforward. Out
of sight so.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You're in an argument and they're like, hey, out of sight.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, no, out of sight. It's not an insult. It
means a good thing. Out of sight. It is like yep,
don't even worry about it. It's out of sight, like
I'm not thinking.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
About it, Like I got something handled. Yeah, nope, it
means excellent or awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's kind of it's kind of it's kind.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Of No, you would never use it to say I
got it handled. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Excellent got it handled?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The second Okay, that's a stretch. That's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But it's it's no out of sight, you know, trying to.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Make yourself right after the fact. Yeah, if something is
like it's kind of like it's like far out out
of sight, it's far out out of side. It's the
same concept behind that, like.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Maybe because they didn't they didn't they didn't go they
didn't go places, and it wasn't very fast.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Man, that that is down the street.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's right next to me. How awesome that it's near
the man?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Oh we use that, yeah, meaning what like.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You're the man, Like he did that thing for me
and you're the you're the you're the man. Wos for doing.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That is not how they used it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
The man.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, that's interesting. You're right meant you're the man. Yeah,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They used it bad. Yeah, you're the man who means
you're icky and.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Gross, because men are icky and gross.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
A lot of them, not all of them, but a
lot of them are. Maybe that's when they were starting
to figure it out. They started they just forget the
other words. Just the man is an insult.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But I think you've heard this. I'm gonna be shocked
if you haven't heard this one, and you're gonna be like, oh,
I knew that one. I feel like man, Yeah, yeah,
the man is like the government authority, Like Sam, fight
the man. That's it's never just Sam, just a guy. Sure, sure,
(13:51):
but it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It's the same train of thought. The man and Sam
are like.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Keep your hands out of my camera.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh yeah, I'm explaining.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You'all are gonna forget all these and try to replicate them,
and it's gonna be like you're gonna have a picture
of him here. We all be like some dude, Tim,
Tim or some shit wants you to fight for the
military for education. Yeah, the man is like authority, Like
fight the man. Uh, whenever you're the whole thing of
(14:23):
like power to the people, fight the man.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Protests. There's a lot of protests in the sixties, big movement.
That's when the Civil Rights Act was passed. It was
like the whole like black people voting, like women getting
you know, equal treatment, and like there was a huge
a lot of social justice was happening in the sixties,
and so the man was quite often referred to as
(14:48):
like we're fighting against the machine that is the authority
above us.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, and it's usually the man was probably referring to
the president also in this day symbolically yeah, yeah, okay, bread,
make that bread, make that cash.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You think that's how they used.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It, making dough no bread, that was another slang word,
like it meant something else.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I didn't say that. I said, do you think that's
how they meant it? I'm giving you a chance to
say that. That's just been a thing since the fifties
and sixties.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I feel like I saw wait making bread or just bread, bread, Okay.
I feel like that came up in like twenty seventeen.
For me, it could have been sooner before that, but
I feel like round twenty seventeen, I started hearing making
that dough, making that cash, Making that bread or just
bread became money, Like you can replace the word bread
(15:50):
with money or dough with money. So I feel like
that was newer. It definitely could have come back, But
I feel like bread for boomers wasn't money. I don't
feel like that was. I don't feel like that's equivalent.
Or maybe that's where we got it from, and then
we just there was a pause of Gen X and
(16:12):
millennials and we brought it back because back then they
probably how that's probably how a lot of fifties people, boomers,
boomers related to that, like making bread makes money. You know, wait,
how many how many food items were?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Like that's all they had to eat? They had bread.
Bread just meant food because there was no other food. Okay, yeah, no,
there was no fast food. It was just bread and
cheese something milk really really popular you had to get
from your own cow.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know how something's really popular and they're like, oh,
this is the thing for that amount of time, like
I don't know, like popsicles, that probably had a huge
spike in like popular right, right, So like in the fifties,
was that for bread?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You think bread got invented in the fifties and they
were like what just.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like really popular, maybe like different types.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So you think it actually referred to bread.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Now you say that, no, but I was thinking, yeah, no,
I was thinking that that it got popular at that
time and there was like different types of like I
don't know, twinkies and like they're like we we can
do things with this, and they're like whoa French toast
and like let's just bread. And then that was correlated
with making a lot of money. So maybe they used
(17:41):
it the same and we're just stealing it again, I'm
gonna go with it means the same.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It means the same. Okay, bread has meant money the
whole time. Really we used it. We used it in
the nineties. I heard it as a kid in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I didn't make that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
There were rappers in the eighties and nineties making that
noe making that bread like the way those those those
old school rhymes were. I mean, it's always been.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That popular in the fifties.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yes, you mean the actual food item, Yeah, absolutely, okay,
But like I think it comes from like bread winter,
like bringing home the bread, bringing home the bacon, the
idea that the man, the man was the bread winter
because he brought in right, right, he brought in money
that then paid for food as a.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Necessity, bread right, which is the only food that.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
They only had that food. And they were in black
and white.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, there is no color.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Black shirts, white shirts, human eye, human I couldn't seek no.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And it was all right blurry bug out They use
that now now.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Usually when I think bug out, someone's probably on drugs
and they're wigging out, bugging out and they're remember like
bug eyed or something, or just out of it. I
would say bug out. I think back then probably meant
that they were in like a group of people and
they just left without saying anything. Woo it bugged out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm really impressed. Both are right. There's gonna be a
trick question. They used it for both. It was to
quickly leave, man, she bugged out or to freak out?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, freaking if you flip.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Out over something, you were bugging out. I feel like,
which is why in the eighties nineties you would hear
she bugging, but we used bug we bugging. Yes, it's
like she's tripping, she's freaking out.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like now tripping would be
more like she's tripping on her own sober levels. But
bugging out seems like they're on drugs or something like
they're a little extra crazy and that's due to something else.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
What I'm just taking it in.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
What's the next one?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Square?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We had this conversation we have you gotta be square.
There's more. I know that's.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
More, but you just shift gears to go to your
own world. Let me go check onto.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That space, because I know there's a few different ones.
There's be fair, be square. No, what was it again,
be fair and square? Fair? Yeah, that's that's the same.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yes, it is be fair and square.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think so and then there's another one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Which is be on time, which is what you said
in the video be there being on time. I said,
what is b square mean? You said being on time?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Being on time?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And then you said, what's the phrase?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Be there or be square?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Because you want to be a circle. You don't want
to be square because they're straight edge. Opposite straight edge
is a circle?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, no more. It is like I want to be
a circle.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But right, but like round, saying like, okay, don't be
straight edge beyond don't.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You adjust your mic, don't be.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Don't be.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, what do you need stands?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
We do it keeps going down. Wait, hold on, because
be there or be square is like saying beyond time
or else you're straight edge?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Right, So so then what did square mean in the
sixties and some of the fifties? What which was what?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Wait? Hold on, are you saying just square meant something
by itself? I'd be like, that's square.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, the person probably.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
They're being square.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
They are a square, so.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They get on time everywhere, they iron their clothes. Okay,
may be considered a little OCD. They're very particular about routine.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You're going more into you're going more in the physical
behaviors when I think it's probably more along the lines of.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No drinking, yes, straight edge, don't.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No, no no not well, so square meant uh like
a traditional old fashioned person. So if we're like, hey,
let's go to this party it starts at nine pm,
and one person in the group was like, I'm gonna
go to bed because I'm getting up at six am
(23:08):
to mow the lawn, We're like square. They would literally
do this and then we would all go to the
party and bully them for being responsible. Essentially, so it's
a responsible or old fashioned person. Or if you're dating
someone and they're like, well, you haven't kissed yet, have
(23:31):
you because you need to wait to do that, and
they're like, such a square. I'm just gonna do what
I do chill out. Yeah. So square was like that.
So the the boomers when they were young and cool,
their parents would tell them be home at eight and
they'd be like, ah, such a square, and they would
(23:53):
go out and party. That's the idea, So be there,
be square had nothing to do with time. It is
about come to the party or else you'll be considered
an old fashioned, boring person.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
At first, it sounds like be there or be square
is like you better be there or else you're a square,
like be there on time or you're gonna be a square?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, yes, okay, be there to be square, just mean
to be there or you're not cool like us. Lame
you're lame, yeah, which is uh an insult. You'll get
canceled for saying lame.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Now, well, you can have like a lame foot, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So when people have a lame foot and they literally
can't help it, and then we use that word lame,
it's an insult to people who literally have medical problems.
That's what it just means.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
They're lagging behind. Right, whether it's your fault or not,
you're still lame, right.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Right, Well, heavy people walk slower. And imagine if two
skinny people were walking and one person was slow and
they're like, quit walking, fat, let's go. It's like that
you're like your fat walker, speed it up. It's like, okay, well,
you're using you're essentially using a body type situation as
(25:08):
an insult. That That's why I've been I've been told
I still I've still used the phrase lame lame.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, I feel like that only really means one thing.
Sometimes I feel like lame has turned into two different words.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well, to be fair, lame is something we used to
say that people had. Now it's mostly referred to with animals.
If it's if it's a person that has something wrong
with their foot, we usually don't call that lame.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's an Yeah, that's an old term. So most people
don't like I don't. I don't think I've heard anybody
in the last thirty years say they have a lame
foot or a lame leg. It's like, no, I sprained
my ankle. We use different verbiage for it now, so
I think that's why most people don't really care. Yeah,
all right, bummer.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I use that one.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, that's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's been a thing for a long time. Yeah, I'll
be honest. I did not know. I thought that was
like seventies, eighties. I didn't realize it was all the
way back to the sixties they used bummer.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Let's go fast on these because they're they're easy. Cool it,
cool down, colax cruising for a bruising.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Cruising for a bruising you're relaxing. What cruising for a bruising?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What is bruising?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Bruising is like when you get a bruise? Is that
what that means?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So if you're cruising for a bruising, cruising for a
bruisin would be what.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I was thought. I thought that was relaxing, cruising for
like I imagine feet kicked up.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So what does bruising have to do with it? No,
they don't just use words for rhyming.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Sometimes what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
You're cruising and then you get a bruise.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Which would mean cruising for a bruising.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You're cruising for a bruising. I'm going to relax to
get a bruise.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You you keep thinking cruising is relaxing cruising?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
What else does cruising mean? You're cruisings. They didn't use
it that way, cruising for a bruisin. They didn't use
cruise as a relax right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, they may have in a different context.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Cruisin for a bruising. Maybe they're looking for a fight.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yes, looking for trouble, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
But that's not Oh they're like shocking cruising looking.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Kind of like cruising, traveling, moving around. If you're on
a cruise or you're cruising in your car, you're moving.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You're chilling while you're moving, not like I'm ready to
fight someone right.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Right, cruising for a bruising. May you're looking for trouble.
So that was in the fifties and sixties. In the eighties,
my dad would say it to me because I was
doing ship. It was about to get me spanked, so
he would be like, boy, you're cruising for a bruising,
like you're on the way to get You're on the
way to get in a bruise essentially, but they used
(28:17):
it like this dude's out looking for a fight, like he's.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Those are the guys that would have their wet hair
and pull out their comb and do it to side
and like snap when they walk. They were cruising for
a bruising, right, And then more of them would show
up from the alley and they'd do it on sie.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
They it wasn't just for the musical. They just snap
walk yes, with their cigarettes rolled up into the They
snapped when they walked.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Skinny pants yeah, and they're low when they're low.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
They were all cruising for a bruises like Phonsie.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yep, like him. That's Phansie cruising for a person.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You don't know who Fonzie is. The fons.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Fuzzy Fonzie, Phonsie. Fuzzy, fuzzy, he was a bear. Fuzzyzzy
had no hair, fuzzy. He wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But that's Phansie or are you thinking of fozzy fozzy?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Is it an inn Phonsie Phansie? Well he was. He
was probably with the wet hair and white.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
It was wet. It was just shiny from well from
jail or oil. Yeah, with the combes. And they snapped
when they walk. That's how they just traveled. They were
cruising for a bruising. Always smoking in the in the bathroom, right,
there's a whole song about it, smoking in the bullsroom.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
But back then they could smoke wherever.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I thought, Yeah, but not usually not in school other kids,
so they would go smoke in the in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Made in the shade.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You made something in a dark time. That's the only thing.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I can think, Like, you are a painting you did
when you were depressed. You're like that was made in.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
The that's what sounds right.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You made it as a dark cloud that day and
you made it that was I love that you try.
That's my favorite part that you just throw it out
there and try. No, it meant made in the shade
means you're in an easy situation. Well, like you've heard
(31:15):
got it made? Yeah, it's like that, like you're this
is this is what you thought. Cruising meant you're just relaxing.
You're driving around. Man, we're made in the shade or
you you you you. You make an investment and you
make a bunch of money back on the investment you
(31:36):
made in the shade. Like you you got You're good
to go. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, well, al, I figured in the shade. Made the
shade sounds like something being made in the shade is
like a bad thing, as plants need.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, you're also thinking of shady too.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, I'm thinking of like plants trying to grow in
the shape. There are some plants made to be in
the shade, but majority of plants need sunlight. So I
was thinking it's sad because the plant's trying to grow
in the shade and it can't. But then it was
made in the shade, got it, So it was sad,
but it was it still made. I don't know, made.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Something understood, boss, It's not a person, it's a description.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Oh yeah, they definitely use that now, especially twenty fifteen.
It's like coming back in some ways, it's very y
two K. I feel like to be like that's so boss,
Like I feel like I went through a little phase definitely.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Used meaning good, yeah, excellent, outstanding.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Or like specifically relating to like females being queens, like
so boss. Like there's a whole like Fifth Harmony song
that's got like boss in it, like eleven times.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I think, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Nifty, Oh I use that? Can you fix your mic again?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't know if I use it right. I definitely
use nifty, but I don't know if I use it right.
I would say like crafty, oh nifty, like like maybe
like if if Zoe was if I walked in on
Zoe and Zoe was like sewing a blanket or something,
I'd be like, oh, very nifty with like like like
(33:23):
what is it called when you do when you clean
your teeth? Flossing floss like floss and like a bobby pin,
Like if Zoe was using that instead of a sewing kit,
I'd be like, it's very nifty of you. It's very
nifty to be using other things but getting it then
it's crafty. No, I would use it that way. I
(33:43):
feel like I'd be.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Completely wrong, although if you walked in and said nifty,
it would still make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Because it's wait, maybe I liked the craft Yep, then
that's just nifty because I like it's cool. Nifty is
neat that you're doing something that that's like crafty like
that maybe wouldn't normally be.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Nope, nope, it has nothing to do with crafty. Something
was nifty. It just meant you like it.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It was cool, okay, burn.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Rubber, Oh you're going fast in your car? Yep?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Sharp?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Smart?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay? What if they said you look sharp?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
You you iron your clothes, you get a suit.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
On, you're just stylish. It just means you look good.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No. I think sharp means it means oh.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
No, I'm telling you no. It means just like you
look nice, especially like your clothing.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yes, but I think sharp has to like it. But
if it was if it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Was probably more so used when someone was wearing a
suit and it was iron. But if everyone else was
wearing sh shorts and flip flops and t shirts and
you showed up in a button up shirt with slacks,
they would say you look sharp.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't think so, oh they would.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I want to ask, because you're not a boomer, and
while you have definitions, that's not always the truth.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
So I feel like sharp even now to this day,
would be you look nice. But I think back then
it it was like a specific type of nice. I
feel like back then it wasn't just oh you you
have nice clothes on. You have to be like ironed
and like.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Gotcha, like clean, Like they have irons.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Back then, that's all they used for all the things.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
When was the iron invented? Maybe it was invented like nineteen. Okay,
what is hip?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh? It's hip? It's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Kinda.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Are you hip to the game?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, which means you're like in the no?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Do you know the slang? Are you even hip?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
What is daddy?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Oh? Just what you would call somebody m hmm A.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Man like dude or bro daddy O? Cool daddyo. You
know Shelley that produced the song I wrote for you? Yes,
not proud of you. When I hit the producer Shelley,
he calls me daddy O all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Is he a boomer?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I think so? Yeah, yeah, he may be a young boomer,
which ask him what sharp means to him? Okay, greaser.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Or greaser, greezer, someone that puts the wet hair look
in their head.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yes, really yes, and that's why they were called that,
A rebellious youth, often working class, with slick backed hair
that snapped when they walked.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Are you serious? No?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I added that.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Big, meaning I was like I could just I just
aced that. That was one h I just then't then
got it right? And more Yeah, no, you got it right,
you got it right, but yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Cool cat?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Ohkay, I'll use that as a joke to be like
like cringey on on purpose, like what a cool cat
you are. It's just like I feel like millennials use
that more.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeap bird dog.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
A retriever. Those are bird dogs.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
It was it's a person.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
A person is a bird dog.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
This is like these are all people based daddy O, greaser,
cool cat, square square bird dog. And there's one more.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
They hunt you a bird dog.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I'll give you a hand. The last two are bird
dog and doll.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Doll. Bird dog and doll are people? Could I be
a bird dog? Not back then, but I can now?
(38:25):
Could I be a doll?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
So normally when people call like, people call me a doll? Now?
Oh so you're such a doll, Like so maybe so
sweet or you look pretty.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Or you look doll is an attractive girl.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Okay, so then bird dog it's not an attractive person.
Could be bird dog? That be mean like calling someone
a bird dog because they're not attractive.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
That's not it.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
It sounds like to me, it's some it's someone that hunts.
But you said exactly, you just said that that. I
just said that like two minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Right, But I gave you a hint from doll.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Bird dog it wouldn't be dog bird Nope, bird dog
means what that's so random.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
There's some evolution there that I'll get into in a second.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
But from Doll, no, bird dog means that they're skinny.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Please send this episode to your grandparents. Please send this
to your grandparents. So what would what would you think
it meant if someone today, If a girl today said, oh,
my boyfriend I had to break up with them he's
such a dog?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Oh yeah, what it mean?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Like aloof maybe or like like god we use dog
as like just like messed stuff up? Maybe or like just.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Wow, Maybe this is something that's gen X and millennial.
Maybe gen Z doesn't use it this way.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Dog is like they're just like almost like they have
to be watched like a dog, like because they destroy stuff.
They act like a dog in the ways that you
have to attend to them, and it's just like too much.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
So specifically, it's about a man who cheats on his girlfriend.
He's out running around like a dog. He's out sniffing
butts like a dog. He's out being a dog. Dog
behavior is like he's out womanizing, he's out whatever. I
(41:00):
think it came from bird dog in the fifties and
sixties because a bird dog is someone is a man
that hunts another guy's girlfriend. So he's out trying to
get someone else's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Oh, bird dog, Yeah, I've never heard of that. I've
heard of dog, and I feel like I could have.
I've seen it use in the sense where they were cheating,
but it was I've heard it more in the use
of dog as they just they have high energy. They
have to be watched. They destroy stuff. They're like, you know,
(41:36):
can't handle themselves by themselves, essentially compared to.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
A cat going steady, going.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Steady, going sober, like they're taking a teammak.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Someone stops drinking alcohol. They're going steady.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yeah, wow, what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
This is such a cool podcast. I'm proud to be
a part of it. Going steady means dating someone exclusively,
so we we would say what she said that, No
mean like that.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
One like like not, I mean that's okay, that's just
describing someone that who's not steady.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
No, going steady is you and Zoe. You are going steady,
I know, Jake and I are.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Going steady being a gardening tool.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
If you're not steady, you're owen.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
No, that's one of the options because you're you're you're
not steady.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
So we would say. When I was younger, we would say,
will you go with me? It was just like we
go together, and then in high school it became going out.
But I then I learned from my mom that they
called it going steady YEP, and they would say are
(43:07):
y'all steady or like, are y'all dating around? As soon
as I mentioned that, no.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
It's fine, I'm just tired, all right, I'm with you?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Going almost done. Back seat bingo.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Sounds sturdy like back seat bingo, Well, I know it's
not like a pop up bingo game for your back
seat at your car. Could be the people playing bingo.

Is that like nasty making out in a car?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Oh? Okay?
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Ankle biter.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Okay, Now I've seen people refer to an ankle biter
someone who's got like really big teeth.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Really really bad, or like like.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
You're gonna get us canceled.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I'm not. I'm just saying this is what other people say.
Like if someone's got bigger teeth or like spaced out teeth,
it's just a lot happening. They'd be like, that's the
ankle biter, just really messed up.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
What have you heard ankle biter in a different context? No,
you've heard the little dogs. Well, yeah, so in the sixties,
fifties and sixties, an ankle biter was someone's little kid. Really,
I can tell a little ankle biter out of here.
Speaker 2 (44:32):

Speaker 1 (45:23):
A wet rag is a boring person.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, not gross person, No, just boring. Just what is it?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Why?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
I don't know, just just it's like a dry rag
is more boring than a wet rag.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
I don't want to know what you do with rags.
So knuckle sandwich.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Oh that's fighting. Like give someone a knuckle sandwich right
to the mouth.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yeah, take a bite. Bad news, it's not good news.
Sometimes I would walk in around my uncle would say,
here goes bad news.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Someone a person walks in, or a dog or someone.
He's labeling them as bad news. Like because a travel maker.
Speaker 1 (46:17):

your wig?
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Flip your wig?
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Someone flips their wig? What do they do.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
If someone does that? Or you're telling someone to flip
their wig.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, you would never tell someone to flip their wig.
You would just watch someone flip their wig and then
tell other people he flipped his wig.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Got really mad, pulled his hair out.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
I don't know you're so specific.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, really mad.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
It means to get really excited or go crazy. But
it could be good or bad. Okay, you could like
we would today, we would say lose your shit, right,
you could be like he was so mad after the
parking incident he lost his shit, or we gave him
four tickets at the Dallas Cowboy game and he lost
his shit. Like another one, flip your wig. It's the same.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
I know one having a cow m that was more eighties,

Yeah, clearly, But I like.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Annoying you, so it's hard hard.
Speaker 1 (00:20):
Well, I'm not editing anymore. Back when I used to
have to deal with it, you were doing it to me.
Now you're just doing it to Corey. You look into
that camera, you apologize to Corey.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
I just did it right, and I waited a long time.
Actually you did, so I think it'll be great. There's
nothing to apologize for.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
You say sorry.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
You want me to apologize to you.
Speaker 1 (00:35):
I just want a recording of you saying sorry, to
make sure your mouth can form those shapes right.
Speaker 3 (00:42):
Whenever I do something, your mouth could.
Speaker 2 (00:44):
But you know, normally with you know, I apologize when
there's something to apologize for it.
Speaker 1 (00:53):
Oh, one day there will be. By the way, funny.
Speaker 2 (00:57):
He's talking about that. Actually you know what I'm talking
I know exactly what I'm talking about. Your nails. No,
you ring?
Speaker 1 (01:14):
I got a ring. Somebody put a.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ring on it. I think somebody did.
Speaker 1 (01:18):
I got married, y'all.
Speaker 2 (01:19):
We didn't even started the podcast yet. Let's Dot Podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:22):
Welcome to the Daughter Issues. I got married, y'all.
Speaker 2 (01:25):
I thought we were going to start it, and then.
Speaker 1 (01:29):
It's a fish.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
It's a fish. Sure is. I witnessed it.
Speaker 1 (01:34):
You were the witness. That's right. We uh, we did
a courthouse thing for now, but we're gonna do like
a party and stuff later because our families like spread
all over the country. It's like, who do you know?
Do you invite certain people the only people who have
the resources or time to make it to the wedding.
That just seems unfair. So we just went with you.
(01:55):
You witnessed it, and then we're gonna fly to them
and have receptions.
Speaker 2 (02:01):
Basically, Really, I didn't know that. I thought you were
gonna still make one.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
No, no, no, no, We're gonna do an la party. Then
we're gonna do one where our families are all of
the country. So that be fun. There's a brand new
missus Smalley, your step mama. Pretty cool. Yeah, she's amazing.
Speaker 2 (02:20):
Is so.
Speaker 1 (02:24):
I have some fun I have some fun stuff today.
Speaker 2 (02:26):
Yeah, what are we doing today? You start off annoying me?
Speaker 1 (02:29):
You started off annoying me, bro, Well.
Speaker 2 (02:32):
The difference is it's expected from me and I'm just
messing around. You take it up the butt, take it
up the butt, you take it personal, and then you're
like apologize.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
First of all, Angelica is a woman, so I take
nothing up the butty. That is none of your business.
Still do that prop Maybe.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
No, that's a fact. Staying to the camera and say
I know it's straight though, yes, straight ish, yes, No, man,
there's a different there's you're you're.
Speaker 1 (03:08):
Not okay, not gay, not gay, but not straight.
Speaker 2 (03:14):
Male anatomy stays the same.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Sure, okay, but there's a.
Speaker 2 (03:20):
Difference between one a guy versus one in the thing.
It's gross.
Speaker 1 (03:28):
I couldn't. I couldn't.
Speaker 3 (03:31):
Yeah, well, anyway, let's keep it family.
Speaker 1 (03:37):
So this one's for the boomers. Okay, this one's for
the boomers. This is the boomer episode. So all the
people that have been watching us do gen Z versus
gen X, and all the millennials talking about it. Boomer
gets thrown around as an insult.
Speaker 3 (03:56):
A lot, it does.
Speaker 1 (03:57):
Yeah, but they have their moment when they were cool,
just like we had our moment when we were cool,
and now we're not. And right now you think you're
the shit, and there will be a time. There will
be a time. I promise you who said there will
be a time when you're the old people and they're like, uh,
(04:19):
zoomers and they're making fun of you for being out
of touch. I swear it's coming.
Speaker 2 (04:26):
Well.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
I hope I live long enough to see it.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
I know I'm going to become old already am and
being with kids and like even like some of my
like fifteen year old like family members because of Zoe, Like,
I'm like, oh my goodness, I'm old compared to you
and what we experience.
Speaker 1 (04:42):
So just wait until that's eighty percent of society, you
know what I mean. So there was a time when
they were using slang, they were using terms that their
parents didn't understand, and so I want to throw some
of those out at you today to see if you
know what these words mean, a lot of them. I
don't even want to give you any hints. I don't
want to give you any hints. But we're just gonna
to go through boomer slang.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
Yeah, word jen X didn't take from boomers at all.
Speaker 1 (05:04):
I feel like sometimes a little bit, yeah, a little bit,
but we had our own thing that we did that
they didn't do. Like, you know, words that I use
my mom, Like, what the hell does that mean? You
know we're gonna have to do.
Speaker 2 (05:16):
Jen Alpha. Is that what it's called? Now?
Speaker 1 (05:18):
Alpha's next? Yeah, but but.
Speaker 2 (05:19):
They have a different slang.
Speaker 1 (05:20):
But your new little brother that's coming because we're also
having a baby. By the way, he's already going to
be Beta.
Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh he's not even Alpha.
Speaker 1 (05:29):
He's not even Alpha. No generation, Beta is going to
be the next.
Speaker 2 (05:33):
He's two generations. Yeah, that's crazy. That makes sense.
Speaker 1 (05:35):
Well, you're you're twenty one years apart.
Speaker 2 (05:37):
Yeah, that's just I didn't really think about it like that.
I thought I just assumed he was going to be Alpha.
But Alpha right now has their own alphat.
Speaker 1 (05:47):
I've had enough. Okay, that's right. I chose to have
two kids, uh, twenty one years apart.
Speaker 2 (06:01):
Smart decision, honestly, So we don't have both at the
same time.
Speaker 1 (06:08):
Yeah, we wouldn't want to just get that over with
all at once. We want to make sure.
Speaker 2 (06:14):
But his slang is going to be very different.
Speaker 3 (06:15):
Yeah, I feel like.
Speaker 1 (06:18):
I've already heard some Alphas that I don't understand. We're
gonna have an Alpha episode as well. Let's get into boomers. Okay,
I'm just I'm going to tell you the word. You
tell me what you think it means. Okay, pretty straightforward,
all of it, all of its slangy groovy.
Speaker 2 (06:34):
Oh, groovy, I use groovy?
Speaker 1 (06:38):
What are you doing to the microphone?
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Groovy?
Speaker 1 (06:40):
What does that mean?
Speaker 2 (06:41):
Like like I would say, like if I had a
really good burger, it's groovy.
Speaker 1 (06:46):
Cool, great and cool great or amazing.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But yeah, I would have to it have to, Like
I feel like you have to do a dance with it.
Speaker 1 (06:54):
Oh? Is it because of Austin Powers? Groovy baby?
Speaker 2 (06:58):
Oh? I have no idea, probably, but I think or
like if there's a song and it sounds.
Speaker 1 (07:05):
Well in music terms, there's like a groove.
Speaker 2 (07:07):
Yeah you know, Yeah, so I think that's what it is.
Speaker 1 (07:09):
Probably far out we're.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Gonna swing by. No, we can't. It's too far out.
That's that's what that would mean.
Speaker 1 (07:24):
Too far out, something's far away.
Speaker 3 (07:25):
Yeah, yeah, no, far out.
Speaker 1 (07:28):
Try again.
Speaker 2 (07:28):
Yeah, Like you're far from the point. You're far out.
Speaker 1 (07:32):
You're so wrong, you're so you're far out, you're far out.
Speaker 2 (07:36):
Yeah, not even wrong, You're on a different subject.
Speaker 1 (07:42):
I wonder if you were like transported back to the
fifties or sixties, if you would even be able to
communicate with those people.
Speaker 2 (07:50):
Probably not.
Speaker 1 (07:51):
It would be like learning a new language for sure.
Speaker 2 (07:53):
Well and new lifestyle, because this is very different how
they get information versus how I would get information. You
know what I'm saying, And like if I got sent
there with my phone.
Speaker 1 (08:02):
Well you'd be you'd be a superstar. Yeah. Well the
towers wouldn't work or.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
They would all think I'm like an alien and they're like,
what are you talking about? Technology, and then go back
to their box cables.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
Far out means like and by the way, I will
I will tell you these answers on the podcast. It's
more long form for us to discuss it. I'll never
say it. I never let this out on TikTok because
I want I want people to send it to their
kids and see if they can figure out what it means.
Far out is like something is like amazing or mind blowing.
(08:44):
Like instead of saying, like, uh, something is incredible, far
out man, like we got four tickets to see Billion
the Hoppers. Far out me like something's just really cool,
something's great.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
Usually when something's far out that's a bad thing. It's
like it's not close by. It sucks, But okay, dig
it Ooh, I use that. I dig it.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
What do you mean by that? Though?
Speaker 2 (09:16):
I dig like I'm picking up what you're.
Speaker 1 (09:18):
Putting down, understand or appreciate. That's what that means. Right on.
Speaker 2 (09:24):
Mmm, I'll use that. I feel like our family uses
that more often, like southern Southern.
Speaker 1 (09:31):
A lot of these have come back. Yeah, came back
in a little bit early Gen X and some gen
z ers know it.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Like yes, right on, like congrats.
Speaker 1 (09:40):
Yeah, it was really in the seventies. It was a
lot of like right on.
Speaker 2 (09:44):
Man, like agreed, right on, yeah, keep yes.
Speaker 1 (09:49):
Yep, yeah, yep. Uh. Out of sight, out.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Of sight, can't see it, it's too obvious, out of site.
Like why when I think that, I feel like I
think out of sight, out of mind, which brings me
to like ADHD and like why my pantry looks the
way that it looks. It's because everything has to be
(10:18):
at the front, because if it starts getting into the back,
it's out of sight, out of mind. I'll forget about
it and it'll rot.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
So out of sight was slang for don't let your
food expire.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
I well, for me, that's what it is, but I don't. Yeah,
I have to change everything about my fridge and my
pantry to make it all at the front so I
see it, so I know it's there. Otherwise I will
forget about it. But as far as slag out of sight,
like you can't see it anymore, I'm.
Speaker 1 (10:46):
Gonna spell it for you. O U T T A SIGHD.
Out of sight.
Speaker 2 (11:00):
An insult.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
It's an insult meaning meaning.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
I don't want to see you.
Speaker 1 (11:07):
It's out of sight, get out of my face. Yeah,
that's what it means. Hey, out of sight?
Speaker 2 (11:13):
Yeah like yeah, yeah, well maybe it's too straightforward. Out
of sight so.
Speaker 1 (11:21):
You're in an argument and they're like, hey, out of sight.
Speaker 2 (11:27):
Yeah, no, out of sight. It's not an insult. It
means a good thing. Out of sight. It is like yep,
don't even worry about it. It's out of sight, like
I'm not thinking.
Speaker 1 (11:40):
About it, Like I got something handled. Yeah, nope, it
means excellent or awesome.
Speaker 2 (11:50):
That's kind of it's kind of it's kind.
Speaker 1 (11:54):
Of No, you would never use it to say I
got it handled. I don't think so.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
Excellent got it handled?
Speaker 1 (12:03):
The second Okay, that's a stretch. That's a stretch.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
But it's it's no out of sight, you know, trying to.
Speaker 1 (12:13):
Make yourself right after the fact. Yeah, if something is
like it's kind of like it's like far out out
of sight, it's far out out of side. It's the
same concept behind that, like.
Speaker 2 (12:23):
Maybe because they didn't they didn't they didn't go they
didn't go places, and it wasn't very fast.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
Man, that that is down the street.
Speaker 2 (12:34):
That's right next to me. How awesome that it's near
the man?
Speaker 3 (12:41):
Oh we use that, yeah, meaning what like.
Speaker 2 (12:43):
You're the man, Like he did that thing for me
and you're the you're the you're the man. Wos for doing.
Speaker 1 (12:51):
That is not how they used it.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
The man.
Speaker 1 (12:54):
Yeah, that's interesting. You're right meant you're the man. Yeah,
that's funny.
Speaker 2 (13:02):
They used it bad. Yeah, you're the man who means
you're icky and.
Speaker 1 (13:07):
Gross, because men are icky and gross.
Speaker 2 (13:16):
A lot of them, not all of them, but a
lot of them are. Maybe that's when they were starting
to figure it out. They started they just forget the
other words. Just the man is an insult.
Speaker 1 (13:26):
But I think you've heard this. I'm gonna be shocked
if you haven't heard this one, and you're gonna be like, oh,
I knew that one. I feel like man, Yeah, yeah,
the man is like the government authority, Like Sam, fight
the man. That's it's never just Sam, just a guy. Sure, sure,
(13:51):
but it's not.
Speaker 2 (13:53):
It's the same train of thought. The man and Sam
are like.
Speaker 1 (13:58):
Keep your hands out of my camera.
Speaker 2 (14:00):
Oh yeah, I'm explaining.
Speaker 1 (14:03):
You'all are gonna forget all these and try to replicate them,
and it's gonna be like you're gonna have a picture
of him here. We all be like some dude, Tim,
Tim or some shit wants you to fight for the
military for education. Yeah, the man is like authority, Like
fight the man. Uh, whenever you're the whole thing of
(14:23):
like power to the people, fight the man.
Speaker 2 (14:25):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (14:26):
Protests. There's a lot of protests in the sixties, big movement.
That's when the Civil Rights Act was passed. It was
like the whole like black people voting, like women getting
you know, equal treatment, and like there was a huge
a lot of social justice was happening in the sixties,
and so the man was quite often referred to as
(14:48):
like we're fighting against the machine that is the authority
above us.
Speaker 2 (14:52):
Well, and it's usually the man was probably referring to
the president also in this day symbolically yeah, yeah, okay, bread,
make that bread, make that cash.
Speaker 1 (15:07):
You think that's how they used.
Speaker 2 (15:08):
It, making dough no bread, that was another slang word,
like it meant something else.
Speaker 1 (15:18):
I didn't say that. I said, do you think that's
how they meant it? I'm giving you a chance to
say that. That's just been a thing since the fifties
and sixties.
Speaker 2 (15:27):
I feel like I saw wait making bread or just bread, bread, Okay.
I feel like that came up in like twenty seventeen.
For me, it could have been sooner before that, but
I feel like round twenty seventeen, I started hearing making
that dough, making that cash, Making that bread or just
bread became money, Like you can replace the word bread
(15:50):
with money or dough with money. So I feel like
that was newer. It definitely could have come back, But
I feel like bread for boomers wasn't money. I don't
feel like that was. I don't feel like that's equivalent.
Or maybe that's where we got it from, and then
we just there was a pause of Gen X and
(16:12):
millennials and we brought it back because back then they
probably how that's probably how a lot of fifties people, boomers,
boomers related to that, like making bread makes money. You know, wait,
how many how many food items were?
Speaker 1 (16:34):
Like that's all they had to eat? They had bread.
Bread just meant food because there was no other food. Okay, yeah, no,
there was no fast food. It was just bread and
cheese something milk really really popular you had to get
from your own cow.
Speaker 2 (16:54):
You know how something's really popular and they're like, oh,
this is the thing for that amount of time, like
I don't know, like popsicles, that probably had a huge
spike in like popular right, right, So like in the fifties,
was that for bread?
Speaker 1 (17:09):
You think bread got invented in the fifties and they
were like what just.
Speaker 2 (17:13):
Like really popular, maybe like different types.
Speaker 1 (17:16):
So you think it actually referred to bread.
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Now you say that, no, but I was thinking, yeah, no,
I was thinking that that it got popular at that
time and there was like different types of like I
don't know, twinkies and like they're like we we can
do things with this, and they're like whoa French toast
and like let's just bread. And then that was correlated
with making a lot of money. So maybe they used
(17:41):
it the same and we're just stealing it again, I'm
gonna go with it means the same.
Speaker 1 (17:47):
It means the same. Okay, bread has meant money the
whole time. Really we used it. We used it in
the nineties. I heard it as a kid in the eighties.
Speaker 2 (17:57):
I didn't make that.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
There were rappers in the eighties and nineties making that
noe making that bread like the way those those those
old school rhymes were. I mean, it's always been.
Speaker 2 (18:09):
That popular in the fifties.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
Yes, you mean the actual food item, Yeah, absolutely, okay,
But like I think it comes from like bread winter,
like bringing home the bread, bringing home the bacon, the
idea that the man, the man was the bread winter
because he brought in right, right, he brought in money
that then paid for food as a.
Speaker 3 (18:31):
Necessity, bread right, which is the only food that.
Speaker 1 (18:33):
They only had that food. And they were in black
and white.
Speaker 2 (18:37):
Yeah, there is no color.
Speaker 1 (18:39):
Black shirts, white shirts, human eye, human I couldn't seek no.
Speaker 3 (18:45):
And it was all right blurry bug out They use
that now now.
Speaker 2 (18:56):
Usually when I think bug out, someone's probably on drugs
and they're wigging out, bugging out and they're remember like
bug eyed or something, or just out of it. I
would say bug out. I think back then probably meant
that they were in like a group of people and
they just left without saying anything. Woo it bugged out.
Speaker 1 (19:21):
I'm really impressed. Both are right. There's gonna be a
trick question. They used it for both. It was to
quickly leave, man, she bugged out or to freak out?
Speaker 3 (19:34):
Yeah, freaking if you flip.
Speaker 1 (19:35):
Out over something, you were bugging out. I feel like,
which is why in the eighties nineties you would hear
she bugging, but we used bug we bugging. Yes, it's
like she's tripping, she's freaking out.
Speaker 2 (19:45):
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I feel like now tripping would be
more like she's tripping on her own sober levels. But
bugging out seems like they're on drugs or something like
they're a little extra crazy and that's due to something else.
Speaker 1 (20:00):
What I'm just taking it in.
Speaker 2 (20:02):
What's the next one?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Square?
Speaker 2 (20:06):
We had this conversation we have you gotta be square.
There's more. I know that's.
Speaker 1 (20:15):
More, but you just shift gears to go to your
own world. Let me go check onto.
Speaker 2 (20:20):
That space, because I know there's a few different ones.
There's be fair, be square. No, what was it again,
be fair and square? Fair? Yeah, that's that's the same.
Speaker 1 (20:43):
Yes, it is be fair and square.
Speaker 2 (20:45):
I think so and then there's another one.
Speaker 1 (20:48):
Which is be on time, which is what you said
in the video be there being on time. I said,
what is b square mean? You said being on time?
Speaker 2 (21:00):
Being on time?
Speaker 1 (21:01):
And then you said, what's the phrase?
Speaker 2 (21:05):
Be there or be square?
Speaker 1 (21:06):
Right?
Speaker 2 (21:06):
Because you want to be a circle. You don't want
to be square because they're straight edge. Opposite straight edge
is a circle?
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Okay, no more. It is like I want to be
a circle.
Speaker 2 (21:18):
But right, but like round, saying like, okay, don't be
straight edge beyond don't.
Speaker 1 (21:31):
You adjust your mic, don't be.
Speaker 2 (21:37):
Don't be.
Speaker 1 (21:41):
Yeah, what do you need stands?
Speaker 2 (21:43):
We do it keeps going down. Wait, hold on, because
be there or be square is like saying beyond time
or else you're straight edge?
Speaker 1 (21:53):
Right, So so then what did square mean in the
sixties and some of the fifties? What which was what?
Speaker 2 (22:05):
Wait? Hold on, are you saying just square meant something
by itself? I'd be like, that's square.
Speaker 1 (22:15):
No, the person probably.
Speaker 2 (22:18):
They're being square.
Speaker 1 (22:20):
They are a square, so.
Speaker 2 (22:21):
They get on time everywhere, they iron their clothes. Okay,
may be considered a little OCD. They're very particular about routine.
Speaker 1 (22:38):
You're going more into you're going more in the physical
behaviors when I think it's probably more along the lines of.
Speaker 2 (22:44):
No drinking, yes, straight edge, don't.
Speaker 1 (22:47):
No, no no not well, so square meant uh like
a traditional old fashioned person. So if we're like, hey,
let's go to this party it starts at nine pm,
and one person in the group was like, I'm gonna
go to bed because I'm getting up at six am
(23:08):
to mow the lawn, We're like square. They would literally
do this and then we would all go to the
party and bully them for being responsible. Essentially, so it's
a responsible or old fashioned person. Or if you're dating
someone and they're like, well, you haven't kissed yet, have
(23:31):
you because you need to wait to do that, and
they're like, such a square. I'm just gonna do what
I do chill out. Yeah. So square was like that.
So the the boomers when they were young and cool,
their parents would tell them be home at eight and
they'd be like, ah, such a square, and they would
(23:53):
go out and party. That's the idea, So be there,
be square had nothing to do with time. It is
about come to the party or else you'll be considered
an old fashioned, boring person.
Speaker 2 (24:08):
At first, it sounds like be there or be square
is like you better be there or else you're a square,
like be there on time or you're gonna be a square?
Speaker 1 (24:15):
No, yes, okay, be there to be square, just mean
to be there or you're not cool like us. Lame
you're lame, yeah, which is uh an insult. You'll get
canceled for saying lame.
Speaker 2 (24:27):
Now, well, you can have like a lame foot, I know.
Speaker 1 (24:30):
So when people have a lame foot and they literally
can't help it, and then we use that word lame,
it's an insult to people who literally have medical problems.
That's what it just means.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
They're lagging behind. Right, whether it's your fault or not,
you're still lame, right.
Speaker 1 (24:45):
Right, Well, heavy people walk slower. And imagine if two
skinny people were walking and one person was slow and
they're like, quit walking, fat, let's go. It's like that
you're like your fat walker, speed it up. It's like, okay, well,
you're using you're essentially using a body type situation as
(25:08):
an insult. That That's why I've been I've been told
I still I've still used the phrase lame lame.
Speaker 2 (25:14):
Well, I feel like that only really means one thing.
Sometimes I feel like lame has turned into two different words.
Speaker 1 (25:20):
Well, to be fair, lame is something we used to
say that people had. Now it's mostly referred to with animals.
If it's if it's a person that has something wrong
with their foot, we usually don't call that lame.
Speaker 2 (25:31):
That's it.
Speaker 1 (25:32):
That's an Yeah, that's an old term. So most people
don't like I don't. I don't think I've heard anybody
in the last thirty years say they have a lame
foot or a lame leg. It's like, no, I sprained
my ankle. We use different verbiage for it now, so
I think that's why most people don't really care. Yeah,
all right, bummer.
Speaker 2 (25:48):
I use that one.
Speaker 3 (25:49):
Yeah, that's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (25:50):
It's been a thing for a long time. Yeah, I'll
be honest. I did not know. I thought that was
like seventies, eighties. I didn't realize it was all the
way back to the sixties they used bummer.
Speaker 2 (26:00):
That's a bummer.
Speaker 1 (26:01):
Let's go fast on these because they're they're easy. Cool it,
cool down, colax cruising for a bruising.
Speaker 2 (26:09):
Cruising for a bruising you're relaxing. What cruising for a bruising?
Speaker 1 (26:23):
What is bruising?
Speaker 2 (26:26):
Bruising is like when you get a bruise? Is that
what that means?
Speaker 1 (26:30):
So if you're cruising for a bruising, cruising for a
bruisin would be what.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I was thought. I thought that was relaxing, cruising for
like I imagine feet kicked up.
Speaker 1 (26:44):
So what does bruising have to do with it? No,
they don't just use words for rhyming.
Speaker 3 (26:48):
Sometimes what does it mean?
Speaker 2 (26:51):
You're cruising and then you get a bruise.
Speaker 3 (26:54):
Which would mean cruising for a bruising.
Speaker 2 (27:00):
You're cruising for a bruising. I'm going to relax to
get a bruise.
Speaker 1 (27:04):
You you keep thinking cruising is relaxing cruising?
Speaker 2 (27:08):
What else does cruising mean? You're cruisings. They didn't use
it that way, cruising for a bruisin. They didn't use
cruise as a relax right.
Speaker 1 (27:26):
Yeah, they may have in a different context.
Speaker 2 (27:29):
Cruisin for a bruising. Maybe they're looking for a fight.
Speaker 1 (27:35):
Yes, looking for trouble, okay.
Speaker 2 (27:38):
But that's not Oh they're like shocking cruising looking.
Speaker 1 (27:42):
Kind of like cruising, traveling, moving around. If you're on
a cruise or you're cruising in your car, you're moving.
Speaker 2 (27:49):
You're chilling while you're moving, not like I'm ready to
fight someone right.
Speaker 1 (27:54):
Right, cruising for a bruising. May you're looking for trouble.
So that was in the fifties and sixties. In the eighties,
my dad would say it to me because I was
doing ship. It was about to get me spanked, so
he would be like, boy, you're cruising for a bruising,
like you're on the way to get You're on the
way to get in a bruise essentially, but they used
(28:17):
it like this dude's out looking for a fight, like he's.
Speaker 2 (28:21):
Those are the guys that would have their wet hair
and pull out their comb and do it to side
and like snap when they walk. They were cruising for
a bruising, right, And then more of them would show
up from the alley and they'd do it on sie.
Speaker 1 (28:41):
They it wasn't just for the musical. They just snap
walk yes, with their cigarettes rolled up into the They
snapped when they walked.
Speaker 2 (28:50):
Skinny pants yeah, and they're low when they're low.
Speaker 1 (28:55):
They were all cruising for a bruises like Phonsie.
Speaker 2 (28:59):
Yep, like him. That's Phansie cruising for a person.
Speaker 1 (29:09):
You don't know who Fonzie is. The fons.
Speaker 2 (29:16):
Fuzzy Fonzie, Phonsie. Fuzzy, fuzzy, he was a bear. Fuzzyzzy
had no hair, fuzzy. He wasn't very fuzzy, was he?
Speaker 3 (29:29):
But that's Phansie or are you thinking of fozzy fozzy?
Speaker 2 (29:37):
Is it an inn Phonsie Phansie? Well he was. He
was probably with the wet hair and white.
Speaker 1 (29:49):
It was wet. It was just shiny from well from
jail or oil. Yeah, with the combes. And they snapped
when they walk. That's how they just traveled. They were
cruising for a bruising. Always smoking in the in the bathroom, right,
there's a whole song about it, smoking in the bullsroom.
Speaker 2 (30:10):
But back then they could smoke wherever.
Speaker 4 (30:12):
I thought, Yeah, but not usually not in school other kids,
so they would go smoke in the in the bathroom.
Speaker 1 (30:22):
Made in the shade.
Speaker 2 (30:28):
You made something in a dark time. That's the only thing.
Speaker 1 (30:35):
I can think, Like, you are a painting you did
when you were depressed. You're like that was made in.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
The that's what sounds right.
Speaker 1 (30:53):
You made it as a dark cloud that day and
you made it that was I love that you try.
That's my favorite part that you just throw it out
there and try. No, it meant made in the shade
means you're in an easy situation. Well, like you've heard
(31:15):
got it made? Yeah, it's like that, like you're this
is this is what you thought. Cruising meant you're just relaxing.
You're driving around. Man, we're made in the shade or
you you you you. You make an investment and you
make a bunch of money back on the investment you
(31:36):
made in the shade. Like you you got You're good
to go. Yeah?
Speaker 2 (31:41):
Yeah, well, al, I figured in the shade. Made the
shade sounds like something being made in the shade is
like a bad thing, as plants need.
Speaker 1 (31:54):
Well, you're also thinking of shady too.
Speaker 2 (31:58):
No, I'm thinking of like plants trying to grow in
the shape. There are some plants made to be in
the shade, but majority of plants need sunlight. So I
was thinking it's sad because the plant's trying to grow
in the shade and it can't. But then it was
made in the shade, got it, So it was sad,
but it was it still made. I don't know, made.
Speaker 1 (32:15):
Something understood, boss, It's not a person, it's a description.
Speaker 2 (32:25):
Oh yeah, they definitely use that now, especially twenty fifteen.
It's like coming back in some ways, it's very y
two K. I feel like to be like that's so boss,
Like I feel like I went through a little phase definitely.
Speaker 1 (32:37):
Used meaning good, yeah, excellent, outstanding.
Speaker 2 (32:39):
Or like specifically relating to like females being queens, like
so boss. Like there's a whole like Fifth Harmony song
that's got like boss in it, like eleven times.
Speaker 3 (32:50):
I think, Okay, yeah.
Speaker 1 (32:52):
Nifty, Oh I use that? Can you fix your mic again?
Speaker 2 (32:57):
I don't know if I use it right. I definitely
use nifty, but I don't know if I use it right.
I would say like crafty, oh nifty, like like maybe
like if if Zoe was if I walked in on
Zoe and Zoe was like sewing a blanket or something,
I'd be like, oh, very nifty with like like like
(33:23):
what is it called when you do when you clean
your teeth? Flossing floss like floss and like a bobby pin,
Like if Zoe was using that instead of a sewing kit,
I'd be like, it's very nifty of you. It's very
nifty to be using other things but getting it then
it's crafty. No, I would use it that way. I
(33:43):
feel like I'd be.
Speaker 1 (33:44):
Completely wrong, although if you walked in and said nifty,
it would still make sense.
Speaker 2 (33:51):
Because it's wait, maybe I liked the craft Yep, then
that's just nifty because I like it's cool. Nifty is
neat that you're doing something that that's like crafty like
that maybe wouldn't normally be.
Speaker 1 (34:10):
Nope, nope, it has nothing to do with crafty. Something
was nifty. It just meant you like it.
Speaker 3 (34:16):
It was cool, okay, burn.
Speaker 2 (34:20):
Rubber, Oh you're going fast in your car? Yep?
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Sharp?
Speaker 2 (34:26):
Smart?
Speaker 1 (34:28):
Okay? What if they said you look sharp?
Speaker 2 (34:31):
You you iron your clothes, you get a suit.
Speaker 1 (34:35):
On, you're just stylish. It just means you look good.
Speaker 2 (34:40):
No. I think sharp means it means oh.
Speaker 1 (34:43):
No, I'm telling you no. It means just like you
look nice, especially like your clothing.
Speaker 2 (34:48):
Yes, but I think sharp has to like it. But
if it was if it.
Speaker 1 (34:52):
Was probably more so used when someone was wearing a
suit and it was iron. But if everyone else was
wearing sh shorts and flip flops and t shirts and
you showed up in a button up shirt with slacks,
they would say you look sharp.
Speaker 3 (35:09):
I don't think so, oh they would.
Speaker 2 (35:11):
I want to ask, because you're not a boomer, and
while you have definitions, that's not always the truth.
Speaker 1 (35:17):
Okay.
Speaker 2 (35:18):
So I feel like sharp even now to this day,
would be you look nice. But I think back then
it it was like a specific type of nice. I
feel like back then it wasn't just oh you you
have nice clothes on. You have to be like ironed
and like.
Speaker 1 (35:34):
Gotcha, like clean, Like they have irons.
Speaker 2 (35:36):
Back then, that's all they used for all the things.
Speaker 1 (35:39):
When was the iron invented? Maybe it was invented like nineteen. Okay,
what is hip?
Speaker 2 (35:46):
Oh? It's hip? It's cool.
Speaker 1 (35:51):
Kinda.
Speaker 2 (35:53):
Are you hip to the game?
Speaker 1 (35:55):
Yeah, which means you're like in the no?
Speaker 2 (35:56):
Yeah?
Speaker 1 (35:57):
Yeah?
Speaker 2 (35:58):
Do you know the slang? Are you even hip?
Speaker 1 (36:00):
What is daddy?
Speaker 2 (36:01):
Oh? Just what you would call somebody m hmm A.
Speaker 1 (36:09):
Man like dude or bro daddy O? Cool daddyo. You
know Shelley that produced the song I wrote for you? Yes,
not proud of you. When I hit the producer Shelley,
he calls me daddy O all the time.
Speaker 2 (36:26):
Is he a boomer?
Speaker 1 (36:27):
I think so? Yeah, yeah, he may be a young boomer,
which ask him what sharp means to him? Okay, greaser.
Speaker 2 (36:42):
Or greaser, greezer, someone that puts the wet hair look
in their head.
Speaker 1 (36:46):
Yes, really yes, and that's why they were called that,
A rebellious youth, often working class, with slick backed hair
that snapped when they walked.
Speaker 2 (36:57):
Are you serious? No?
Speaker 1 (36:58):
I added that.
Speaker 2 (37:00):
Big, meaning I was like I could just I just
aced that. That was one h I just then't then
got it right? And more Yeah, no, you got it right,
you got it right, but yeah, I got it.
Speaker 1 (37:12):
Cool cat?
Speaker 2 (37:14):
Ohkay, I'll use that as a joke to be like
like cringey on on purpose, like what a cool cat
you are. It's just like I feel like millennials use
that more.
Speaker 1 (37:29):
Yeap bird dog.
Speaker 2 (37:38):
A retriever. Those are bird dogs.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
It was it's a person.
Speaker 2 (37:45):
A person is a bird dog.
Speaker 1 (37:47):
This is like these are all people based daddy O, greaser,
cool cat, square square bird dog. And there's one more.
Speaker 2 (37:57):
They hunt you a bird dog.
Speaker 1 (38:00):
I'll give you a hand. The last two are bird
dog and doll.
Speaker 2 (38:04):
Doll. Bird dog and doll are people? Could I be
a bird dog? Not back then, but I can now?
(38:25):
Could I be a doll?
Speaker 1 (38:26):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (38:29):
So normally when people call like, people call me a doll? Now?
Oh so you're such a doll, Like so maybe so
sweet or you look pretty.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
Or you look doll is an attractive girl.
Speaker 2 (38:41):
Okay, so then bird dog it's not an attractive person.
Could be bird dog? That be mean like calling someone
a bird dog because they're not attractive.
Speaker 1 (38:58):
That's not it.
Speaker 2 (38:59):
It sounds like to me, it's some it's someone that hunts.
But you said exactly, you just said that that. I
just said that like two minutes ago.
Speaker 1 (39:07):
Right, But I gave you a hint from doll.
Speaker 2 (39:14):
Bird dog it wouldn't be dog bird Nope, bird dog
means what that's so random.
Speaker 1 (39:25):
There's some evolution there that I'll get into in a second.
Speaker 2 (39:28):
But from Doll, no, bird dog means that they're skinny.
Speaker 1 (39:43):
Please send this episode to your grandparents. Please send this
to your grandparents. So what would what would you think
it meant if someone today, If a girl today said, oh,
my boyfriend I had to break up with them he's
such a dog?
Speaker 3 (40:03):
Oh yeah, what it mean?
Speaker 2 (40:05):
Like aloof maybe or like like god we use dog
as like just like messed stuff up? Maybe or like just.
Speaker 1 (40:19):
Wow, Maybe this is something that's gen X and millennial.
Maybe gen Z doesn't use it this way.
Speaker 2 (40:23):
Dog is like they're just like almost like they have
to be watched like a dog, like because they destroy stuff.
They act like a dog in the ways that you
have to attend to them, and it's just like too much.
Speaker 1 (40:39):
So specifically, it's about a man who cheats on his girlfriend.
He's out running around like a dog. He's out sniffing
butts like a dog. He's out being a dog. Dog
behavior is like he's out womanizing, he's out whatever. I
(41:00):
think it came from bird dog in the fifties and
sixties because a bird dog is someone is a man
that hunts another guy's girlfriend. So he's out trying to
get someone else's girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (41:14):
Oh, bird dog, Yeah, I've never heard of that. I've
heard of dog, and I feel like I could have.
I've seen it use in the sense where they were cheating,
but it was I've heard it more in the use
of dog as they just they have high energy. They
have to be watched. They destroy stuff. They're like, you know,
(41:36):
can't handle themselves by themselves, essentially compared to.
Speaker 3 (41:39):
A cat going steady, going.
Speaker 2 (41:42):
Steady, going sober, like they're taking a teammak.
Speaker 1 (41:52):
Someone stops drinking alcohol. They're going steady.
Speaker 2 (41:57):
Yeah, wow, what does it mean?
Speaker 1 (42:04):
This is such a cool podcast. I'm proud to be
a part of it. Going steady means dating someone exclusively,
so we we would say what she said that, No
mean like that.
Speaker 2 (42:24):
One like like not, I mean that's okay, that's just
describing someone that who's not steady.
Speaker 1 (42:30):
No, going steady is you and Zoe. You are going steady,
I know, Jake and I are.
Speaker 3 (42:36):
Going steady being a gardening tool.
Speaker 1 (42:41):
If you're not steady, you're owen.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
No, that's one of the options because you're you're you're
not steady.
Speaker 1 (42:47):
So we would say. When I was younger, we would say,
will you go with me? It was just like we
go together, and then in high school it became going out.
But I then I learned from my mom that they
called it going steady YEP, and they would say are
(43:07):
y'all steady or like, are y'all dating around? As soon
as I mentioned that, no.
Speaker 2 (43:15):
It's fine, I'm just tired, all right, I'm with you?
Speaker 1 (43:19):
Going almost done. Back seat bingo.
Speaker 2 (43:27):
Sounds sturdy like back seat bingo, Well, I know it's
not like a pop up bingo game for your back
seat at your car. Could be the people playing bingo.
Speaker 3 (43:40):
Is that like nasty making out in a car?
Speaker 2 (43:44):
Oh? Okay?
Speaker 1 (43:46):
Ankle biter.
Speaker 2 (43:51):
Okay, Now I've seen people refer to an ankle biter
someone who's got like really big teeth.
Speaker 1 (43:59):
Oh my god, it's.
Speaker 2 (44:02):
Really really bad, or like like.
Speaker 1 (44:05):
You're gonna get us canceled.
Speaker 2 (44:06):
I'm not. I'm just saying this is what other people say.
Like if someone's got bigger teeth or like spaced out teeth,
it's just a lot happening. They'd be like, that's the
ankle biter, just really messed up.
Speaker 1 (44:18):
What have you heard ankle biter in a different context? No,
you've heard the little dogs. Well, yeah, so in the sixties,
fifties and sixties, an ankle biter was someone's little kid. Really,
I can tell a little ankle biter out of here.
Speaker 2 (44:32):
That's funny. Okay, that's funny. U pad house, we use
that slide through the pad.

Speaker 1 (45:23):
A wet rag is a boring person.
Speaker 2 (45:25):
Oh, not gross person, No, just boring. Just what is it?
Speaker 1 (45:30):
Why?
Speaker 2 (45:33):
I don't know, just just it's like a dry rag
is more boring than a wet rag.
Speaker 1 (45:40):
I don't want to know what you do with rags.
So knuckle sandwich.
Speaker 2 (45:49):
Oh that's fighting. Like give someone a knuckle sandwich right
to the mouth.
Speaker 1 (45:54):
Yeah, take a bite. Bad news, it's not good news.
Sometimes I would walk in around my uncle would say,
here goes bad news.
Speaker 2 (46:09):
Someone a person walks in, or a dog or someone.
He's labeling them as bad news. Like because a travel maker.
Speaker 1 (46:17):

your wig?
Speaker 2 (46:28):
Flip your wig?
Speaker 1 (46:32):
Someone flips their wig? What do they do.
Speaker 2 (46:34):
If someone does that? Or you're telling someone to flip
their wig.
Speaker 1 (46:38):
No, you would never tell someone to flip their wig.
You would just watch someone flip their wig and then
tell other people he flipped his wig.
Speaker 2 (46:51):
Got really mad, pulled his hair out.
Speaker 1 (46:58):
I don't know you're so specific.
Speaker 2 (47:01):
Yeah, really mad.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
It means to get really excited or go crazy. But
it could be good or bad. Okay, you could like
we would today, we would say lose your shit, right,
you could be like he was so mad after the
parking incident he lost his shit, or we gave him
four tickets at the Dallas Cowboy game and he lost
his shit. Like another one, flip your wig. It's the same.
Speaker 3 (47:24):
I know one having a cow m that was more eighties,
I think really.
Speaker 2 (47:31):
Because I feel like I got that from Nanny.
Speaker 1 (47:33):

like stuff like that.
Speaker 2 (47:37):
Oh No, I've always been like, well she didn't gonna
