When I tell you had to fast forward to the second half of the video where they were reacting to videos because I couldn’t cringe anymore. There is NO WAY our generation came up with that… that’s definitely a gen alpha thing. Rt?!
Hearing most the slang we Millennials didn't say makes my brain yell "Stop it right F'ing now." Like how everyone is on the current "Demure" train. Every time I see it or hear it on my YT shorts (Since I don't watch TikTok) it's an automatic skip.
I think some boomer or gen Xer made it up when writing an article about slang to troll everyone. Because I've only heard it in the context of people listing off slang. I've never seen it in the wild.
"I'll scratch his face! I'll scratch his face on the spot!"......"I'll claw his eyes!"😂😂😂 James PLEASE take self defense classes NOW😅..We don't wanna lose you!
I'd love to thank James for my two year old picking up "brudah" in a perfect British accent 😂 she's going around "brudah swear" to her sister and my oldest says "innit" now absolutely peak love it here ❤
20:03 AS SOON AS HE SAID "I saw one of these ruddas in New York" I knew who he was talking ab, then he said "bleach blonde buzz cut" that just confirmed it for me 🤣🤣
A millennial wrote an article claiming cheugy was the new Gen Z slang (she was mistaken) then a bunch of millennial influencers started using it thinking it was cool, it's literally not a term
I swear to everything on earth I’ve never seen a channel that makes me laugh like so hard ,makes me feel good and stress free I love these three guys so much ❤All the way from Ghana 🇬🇭 thank you guys for being here
Basically, a lot of Gen A slang is video game and tech based. My son always talks about “glitching” if people stutter or zone out or something, or he’ll ask how I “spawned” by him if I just “pop up from nowhere”, or “maxxing” like hitting max skills in a game 😂😂😂
That just sounds like gamer slang, honestly. *Meaning, there was a period 5-10 years ago where my friend group would exclusively say “glitching” and “spawned”. “Maxxing” is more new I would say, so that can be attributed to gen alpha but not the other two.
@@kikialeaki1850 it mostly is, but a lot of it is applied to things that don’t necessarily make intuitive sense. I can’t think k of particular examples now but there was something my daughter kept saying recently and I was like “I don’t think that means what you think knit means”, but they’re genuinely just making up new definitions for shit 😂
@@jackjohnson2309 hmm, was it demure? lol jk maybe smth like bop. But I’m not around gen alpha much so if there’s missing context, sorry for contradicting you.
"tea" started WAAAAAAAAY back in Ballroom culture. Lady Chablis used the term in 1997 in the movie Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil. It was the first time a mainstream American film featured a transgender actor portraying a transgender woman. Lady Chablis was a boomer.
This is also a part of getting older, it's the realization that words change meaning. The word "prank" used to mean "to pull a practical joke on someone", today it means "try and get shot/assaulted by random people you're harrasing"
27:45 This is Manhattanhenge, also called the Manhattan Solstice. It is an event during which the setting sun or the rising sun is aligned with the east-west streets of the main street grid of Manhattan, New York City. The astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson claims to have coined the term. The sunsets and sunrises each align twice a year, on dates evenly spaced around the summer solstice and winter solstice. The sunset alignments occur around May 28 and July 13. The sunrise alignments occur around December 5 and January 8.
James is totally right, "tea" has been in the US black LGBT community since probaby gen X, but LGBT ppl all over started saying it in millenial circles after Rupaul's drag race, and everyone else because of tiktok etc is a gen Z thing
Funny thing is my family been saying it for years, I was spilling tea without knowing what it was as a kid and my family from Caribbean but they don't call it tea though. It's when I got in my late 20s someone told me it was called tea. 😂
As a 1990 millennial.. skkrrrtt is DEFINITELY MILLENNIAL!! Im dying on this hill all day lmao. Gen z wish they came up with that 😂 .. it was in rap songs in the early 2000s-2010s and people used it as slang back then.
I don't think so because at least 'it's giving' sounds somewhat correct and rolls off the tongue easily😅 I don't think there's any situation I would find myself in that I'd ever use "looks maxxing" lol
The term lookmaxxing comes from incels and incelforums, I'm surprised it became mainstream, it was incels trying to max out their looks to get women originally, max out as in similar to gaming analogy where you have stats and you are trying max out your Attack stats or defense stats
LMFAOOOO James' face transition at the snowie twerking had me howling. man went from a straight face to an opened mouth to an opened mouthed smile to a raised bro swallowing his saliva😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
We BEEN saying this in Ohio which is how ik someone from Ohio started this 😭 been saying it since 2016. And it’s cuz some of us here are self aware enough to realize this stud is not normal.
Tbf the slang part of the “looks maxing” one IS the maxing part cuz people use it for any subject, so fitness-maxing or design-maxing for example. Looks-maxing is just the most used version of it cuz it applies to basically everyone
27:50 That's not an influencer thing. It's that one day a year the sun sets perfectly between buildings in Manhattan and photographers from all over come to see it. It's called Manhattanhenge and it's an event now
Fun fact for you young man, 3:58 trolling came from the gaming community as a way of saying that you are making fun or pranking some person nonstop to the point where they start to believe something even if they know it's not true.
As an American who is also licensed... that man is very lucky if he don't get arrested because having a license does not mean you can use it for anything other than protection of yours or someone else's life.
From what I could see, he didn't draw his gun, which would be assault if it was unnecessary for protection. Telling someone you're strapped isn't a crime, though.
Black LGBTQAI+ is not so much a slang "niche" as it is a slang "source". There are growing socio-linguistic studies showing how terms, phrases and expressions created, sometimes long ago, in the black LGBTQ+ slowly got popularised through adoption by the wider public. There is even a sociological adoption-model that suggests terms created in the aforementioned community tend be adopted by white LGBTQ communities, then black cis communities, then white cis female communities, before finally being adopted and or adapted at large. Terms like "serving", "tea", "giving", etc all emanated from the Black LGBTQ+ communities, with certain terms dated back to the 1980s. Other terms like "woke" for example are also rooted in African American culture, before they were coopted by white conservatives all across the world to iconically describe anything back and/or queer...
I mean, we also use tea to describe if someone's body looks good. "Oh my god, your body is tea." and "Her body is so tea, no wonder that her boyfriend is British."
"He looked at me, i looked away."
That sums up Fuhad and James' relationship 🤣
Didn't even bother to push his posterior in the other direction to help him out. 🤣
😂😂😂
I'm dying. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀
25:43
Lmao!
Rem : "N.5, Cheugy"
James : "Scuse me ???" 🤨❓❓
Me : "Scuse me ??"
Rem : "It's Gen Z"
Me : "SCUSE ME ???????"
“Stay peng, stay demure” is a closing LINE you man 😂
Too funny, I’d buy that merch
“He looked at me, I looked away” 😂😂😂 Fuhad is hilarious
As an American Gen Z, cheugy is not a real word 😭
Agreed😂😂😂😂
I second that 😂
Thank you 😂😂
Def some Gen alpha chat
When I tell you had to fast forward to the second half of the video where they were reacting to videos because I couldn’t cringe anymore. There is NO WAY our generation came up with that… that’s definitely a gen alpha thing. Rt?!
I'm loving Ellis' little notes, make it funnier
Hearing the Gen Alpha slang has my Millennial brain looping “Stop trying to make Fetch happen.”
GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! glad im not the only one
Gen Z's make the memes they watch their entire personalities and when the meme gets popularity, they "created" it
i bet gen x was thinking the same thing bout millennials lmao
I cannot. Unsee this.
Hearing most the slang we Millennials didn't say makes my brain yell "Stop it right F'ing now." Like how everyone is on the current "Demure" train. Every time I see it or hear it on my YT shorts (Since I don't watch TikTok) it's an automatic skip.
James has the defense tactics of an angry two year old😂 what do you mean you’ll claw my eyes out
I busted a gut when he said that lol. I always say I’ll push them down but scratching is way funnier to picture 😂
Tf is cheugy😭never heard that in my god damn life and I'm Gen Z
Thinking the same 😂😂
I’ve never heard of it either
broo i was thinking the same thing
I think some boomer or gen Xer made it up when writing an article about slang to troll everyone. Because I've only heard it in the context of people listing off slang. I've never seen it in the wild.
It means cringe pookie but yeah the word itself is cringe
17:30 when james gets defensive when fuhad doesn’t back him up about the girl being butters (primarily her voice) it’s so funny 😂
You’re not a teammate 😂
"I'll scratch his face! I'll scratch his face on the spot!"......"I'll claw his eyes!"😂😂😂
James PLEASE take self defense classes NOW😅..We don't wanna lose you!
Lmaooo yes
😂😂😂
He used to box and did jiu-jitsu for a bit
Ahaha this comment killed me 😂😂
Never heard it and I’m from USA chuggy 😩
At 4:32 Fuhad and Rem synchronised so perfectly when they repeated “they weren’t” twice lmao
Me seeing this comment at the exact moment they said that
"F**k a prank" "I had a long day" relatable
13:56 I laughed so hard I crrriieeeddddddd. “I’ll scratch his face on the spot” 😭😭😭😭😭😭🤣🤣🤣
24:48 this was also equally as damn funny 🤣🤣🤣😭😭
I died laughing at “You’re not a teammate.” 😂
That calm "excuse me?" from James when he heard Cheugy... chef's kiss 😂😅
I'd love to thank James for my two year old picking up "brudah" in a perfect British accent 😂 she's going around "brudah swear" to her sister and my oldest says "innit" now absolutely peak love it here ❤
That's so cute 😂😂😍😍😍😍😍
20:03 AS SOON AS HE SAID "I saw one of these ruddas in New York" I knew who he was talking ab, then he said "bleach blonde buzz cut" that just confirmed it for me 🤣🤣
Rem: Cheuge
James: Excuse me?🤨
😂😂😂
5:43 tf is this word (I’m GenZ)
Same bro
Same
A millennial wrote an article claiming cheugy was the new Gen Z slang (she was mistaken) then a bunch of millennial influencers started using it thinking it was cool, it's literally not a term
facts never heard that word in my life
That 😂😂😂
Ellis passive aggressive notes on the video is my vibe 😆
I’ll scratch his face on the spot is diabolical 😂😂😂😂😂. James has no chill
the synchronized expression at 07:28 was immaculate because same
I swear to everything on earth I’ve never seen a channel that makes me laugh like so hard ,makes me feel good and stress free
I love these three guys so much ❤All the way from Ghana 🇬🇭 thank you guys for being here

James: Guys
Fuhad: Girls
Me: Daddies

Def Gen X. Paris is Burning documentary proves it.

5:49 chugey hasn’t reached America yet
Yeah because I was like whew ...
Never heard it either
Right what is that😭
It was briefly a thing pre-pandemic. I only heard white fashion girlies saying it
I've heard it a few times in the US, but can't remember where/when
Them gen alpha ones are taking me out😭😭😭
They say the children are the future I'm scared
Hahaha no them wait till the children of those mofos get out
“You’re not a teammate.” 😂
The fact that when that girl asked for the rate and fake giggled, I also viscerally responded with a harmonious pained 'ahhh', made me laugh 😂
That was so bad
15:20-15:25 That brother James is STAARVING😭
My man said “scratch his face” that caught me off guard 😭😭
The way they look like their hearing is failing when they don’t know the word 😂😂😂
Every story with Fuhad admitting he looks away when James looks to him for help because he cant bare to see James hurt always gets me to laugh.
20:09 James might have to tap into the NPC bag... He's a natural😂
"That never crossed the waters"😂😂😂valid!...ain't NEVER heard 'cheugy' from nowhere
25:55 “he looked at me, I looked away” is WILD 😂
The African version of “Ohio” as a slang is “Zimbabwe” 🤣🤣🤣that’s mad funny.. also no Zim slander❤ love y’all
So true😂😂. It's giving Zimbabwe 😂😂
True 😂
Can't believe Zimbabwe is Ohio 😂💀
😂😂😂 this is so true lol!!
😂😂😂 I think it's hilarious that Africa has an equal to our Ohio. The people of Zimbabwe must be pissed! 😂😂
25:55 :I looked away" gave me the hardest laugh for the show 😂😂😂😂😂😂
"Terrible movie. Action packed." Sent meeeeee 🤣😂🤣😂 Because it's so true! 🤣😂🤣
I thought he said 'Terrible movie, actual pants' - especially cos they muted the word pants (for some f***ing reason)
@@kanedaku it's not beeped on mine.
@@SCole-ul5fb Silly me, I had subs on and they blanked out the _"p---"_ word.

The leaning forward at the same time was the uncle status loading...😂😂😂
24:48 When I say I NEED Kaio to animate this story ASAP 😂😂😂
Imagine being late for work and to take the train only to see a girl in an inflatable pool😂😂😭 24:22

James’s over extension almost killed me! 25:04 I had to put my phone down and walk away 🚶♀️😂
"I'd scratch his face" 🤣 The things James says are literally the funniest
“Wanted terrible movie…. Action packed” is probably the most accurate description of that movie ever said

Thaaaaankyou gentlemen 🤣🤣🤣 14:05 had me rolling and then the discussion began...☠
I'm a Gen Z and I ain't ever heard "cheugy" in my life 😭🤣
I've heard it against my will. Was a gen z fashion student making videos about fashion trends that are now 'cheugy'. Couldn't take it seriously

When yall started using the Gen A slang had me laughing😂. Yall made it sound good lol
Ellis' comments are giving me life 😂😂😂😂😂
Tbf the slang part of the “looks maxing” one IS the maxing part cuz people use it for any subject, so fitness-maxing or design-maxing for example. Looks-maxing is just the most used version of it cuz it applies to basically everyone
17:39 I live for these moments in every episode 😂😂
Sooo funny lmaoooo
I literally just paused at this moment. You could see James boiling 😂 literally like when your partner says "we need to talk" 😂
I can't believe I'm a Millennial, engaged to be married to a Gen Z.
I'm 1996 and he's 1998 but why do I feel like a cougar all of a sudden 😭😭
Rem: Sigma
Fuhad: That's slang!?😧
Had me gone🤣🤣
Literally same! 🤣🤣🤣
5:31 my middle schooler said “What? Cheugy? That hadn’t made it to middle school yet”😂😂😂😂😂
27:50 That's not an influencer thing. It's that one day a year the sun sets perfectly between buildings in Manhattan and photographers from all over come to see it. It's called Manhattanhenge and it's an event now
I think the influencer part was the woman being filmed dancing in front of it while moving through the crosswalk.
James saying gonna make me feel old and butters these boys crack me up😅😅😅😅😅
"YOU'RE NOT A TEAMMATE" 😂
“That’s a tough day’s work” sent me! 🤣🤣🤣 by far the most depressing clip
What beach is that?
Rem: One you won't find me at. 💀
Haha love you guys so much. I immediately yelled that's us! I've been trolling people on WoW since 2008!
The alpha slang had them befuddled 😂
Lmfaooooo when Fuhad said he looked at me and I looked away. I was on the floor choking on my food 😂😂😂😂😂
7:28 I am actually crying the unison in their “TF YOU SAY” lean and look
Fun fact for you young man, 3:58
trolling came from the gaming community as a way of saying that you are making fun or pranking some person nonstop to the point where they start to believe something even if they know it's not true.
"you're not a team mate" this SENT ME
I’ll scratch his face 😂😂😂James is too funny
Millenials use 'Ate" too, but it means something else like 'wiped out' as in "he was snowboarding and ate it"
"ate the dirt" or "he ate shit". Lol.
You are both funny, but the facial expressions of the guy on the right, are so funny! Super cute too! XD
Skkrt it Caribbean Millennial!!! We Been curving and skrrting since Xibit was rapping and DMX was opening up shop!!!🤣
Yesss!! Thank youuuuu!! I was literally fuming when they try to say that was Gen Z! 😂
Been hearing/ saying it since 2005 bruh
Skrtt is def millennial.. that part made me mad ngl
"I'll scratch his face"😂😂😂
