What is Gen Alpha even saying? Welcome to Good Mythical More. It's time to learn, Link. What is Gen Alpha saying? Slang is what they're saying. To brush up. To. Brush up on how the kids are talking. They're trying to say things that we don't understand so that we are fooled in the blind. Not gonna happen. Did you something, you okay. Yeah. Um, my toe popped. Alright, let's hear one. All right. What up chat. It's me, your resident gen alpha guy. Uh, your first one is. No, you're not. Larpmaxxing. So looksmaxxing. We know what that is. That's when you hold your face in a way to make it grow. We, and better. No. Looks, looksmaxxing is the entire category of doing all kinds of things to look as good as you possibly can according to a certain, so under the knife standard, but also viewing all, all of the above. Anything to, uh, maximize your look. Yep. Uh, eyebrow threading. I don't know if that is a thing that is part of it, but. I mean, if it maximizes your look to define the eyebrow, I just don't know if that's one of the top 10 things that people would list that they were starting to list things. I'll, I'll talk more about it later then. So, Larpmaxxing, we know that LARPing is. Live action role play. So, and, and I think LARPing has become a synonym for acting like you're trying to fit in. Oh, really? Yeah, he was like LARPing as a scientist for a while, right. I think, I mean, okay. I feel like I've heard so pretending he was LARPing as a college student, but he wasn't actually enrolled. Uh, you know, so is it So LARPsmax. Larpmaxxing. So is larpmaxxing when you aura farm to, to be somebody to, for people to think you're somebody you're not? I think it's. Very specific. Or a farming. So it's like you wanted to make it seem like you were a farmer, but you weren't a farmer. Right. So you might have a farm aesthetic and you might buy like manure off of the dark web chew. You might chew and put it on the bottom of your pants, chew a wheat stick, dark web manure. Yeah. I've never been on the dark web, but the first thing I'm gonna buy is manure. Yeah. Oh, he's just lark maxing. As a farmer, as a farmer. I think that's what it means. We believe we are correct. It's actually, yeah. Very specifically about the agriculture community. Uh, no, you're right. It is, it's copying or pretending to be something or someone that you are not. You got it? All right, next is Choppleganger. Choppleganger. Choppleganger. All right. It's when you look like El Chapo. Which is not necessarily a, a safe thing. No. No, you better go deep in the tunnels. Uh, if you're, if you're Larpmaxxing as Chappo, I'm sorry, what was it? Chopan chop, chop chop, Choppleganger. Choppleganger. So it's a doppelganger, but when you chop it up with somebody, isn't that when you like. When you hash it out, when you're just talking it up. So a Choppleganger is a friend that you talk to a lot that looks kind of like you. If you're, I don't have ever heard a Gen Alpha person say that they're chopping it up. Okay. And I, I, I've never used that a chop. But if you're gen alpha and you're chopped, then that is bad. Chopped is like, dude, you, you, oh, so it's somebody who looks like you, but it's like, it's like the busted version of you busted. Exactly. It's busted. Busted also specifically, or is that Z? The definition I have is the oo version of you. You bust the ugly a lot version. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Choppleganger. Okay. All right. Next is Unc. Okay. I've started hearing this. Um, yeah, you have. Lincoln. Yeah, you have Unc. Lincoln just turned 21 and we asked him on the family chat, he said, Lincoln, how, how is your, um, how's your birthday going? Do you have any planes to celebrate tonight? Because we couldn't drive down there until the phone weekend. And he said, I'm reaching. I'm approaching Unc status. Yeah, it just means getting old. It's old. Is that what it means? I'm getting old. Well, like, so the context that I've seen it in, like on the interwebs, Uhhuh, is. Like an older guy playing basketball with younger people. Like, and it like doing something like, Unc was Unc boxing it out, Uncs doing this or whatever. Box maxing. So we're definitely like Unc, like we're, we're like, I think we might, we're we're Uncs maxing. We are Unc at this point. We're on LARPing. Dude. Unc, no, Unc Uncs. Max maxing. I like you. You're LARPing as Uncs. We we're on, we're Onk Maxing. That's us. Yes. Yeah. It's an older out of touch person. Yeah. S maxing right here. An Unc. In fact, let's talk about this because there's a meta conversation to have. We probably had on this show, 'cause we've done a lot of episodes, so we're moving this to exclusively to Facebook. Yeah, yeah. This is, this is the Facebook portion of this. Come on episode, join us over on Facebook. Is the question around when you begin incorporating slang into your vocabulary, because I feel like. When you start, when you stop. Oh, when you stop. I feel like I don't, like, if I hear somebody my age say, bet, I'm just like, yeah. I don't, I just don't know. I like, I mean I, we we're both very self-conscious and I don't inc, neither one of us do this. I don't incorporate new sling. I think my vocabulary, you do it. Some is stuck. You do it. Some I just said busted a second ago. You said busted, the one that you actually do say now. Okay. Interesting. Is where you're going with this, bro. You will say, bro, I'm just telling you. I've heard you say, bro. Uh, my and you have a, you, you've grown comfortable with that one. Well look, okay, I have two uh, pieces. And you don't have to pieces information. Well, no, because I think bro and bet are completely different because. Bro is something that may have been said to someone in 1947. You know what I'm saying? Like I'm saying not in the way that it's being said now. If you go back to the go, go watch 80 Bro is different, bro, but bro, in like eighties movies, like go back and watch uh, surfing movie in the eighties. But that's not how you're using it now. Well, no, but I'm just saying that it's not a completely new word. So you don't wanna own the fact that you are using it in a new way because you are, uh. Just because it's how your kids talk. Oh, it's how my kids talk for sure. So you're saying, bro, in a new way, Unc, you're ing up. That's different though, because what I thought you were gonna say is you were gonna give me a completely new word, like looksmaxxing or like something that no one is using before and then incorporating it into my vocabulary. And I'm not saying I have made an effort not to, it's just when I hear somebody say something, I'm like, well, I already have a way of saying that I don't feel like I need to update it. So you're saying that when they say, bro, you feel like you're saying, bro, enough of how you used to say, bro, that you can, you feel comfortable saying it. It's just like a friend or a guy. It's another dude, bro. But you, but you always say it in a negative context, bro. See only, and that's what's new about it. I think it's a, so you've learned something. I think it's a resurgence of an old word. I feel like that's a little different. If you give me an example of an actual novel. Piece of new sling that you've heard me use or you have used in serious conversation? Um, I think bro is one of them. We just can disagree. Okay. Besides, bro, how about this? I was just making the point that bro was the only one. Oh, so you're saying you don't do this either? Exactly. And I also don't say bro. Well, maybe you should. Well, it's, I've. I've seen how it works for you. I'm, when have I, when have you heard me? I say this to you in the context of the show a lot. But what, what, bro? No, you don't. I wouldn't, I wouldn't, I wouldn't go with that. Yes, I do. Look at Mikayla. I do all, I do it all the time, bro. Yeah, but like, when have you heard me say it outside? When have you heard me say it to like, okay, we're the, we're the group of people and I'm like, bro. What I'm just saying. No, I'm just, I'm saying why are you defensive? Because I'm trying to isolate this, the particular situation, because you say it all the time. It's like anytime you disapprove of somebody's actions, there's a little bro that comes out. There's nothing wrong with it. I'm just saying you're not as drunk as you thought. Hold. Hold on. You are the one who's talking about it as if there's something wrong with it. That's that. That's why, just because I'm accusing you of it, that's the why I'm asking the question about. It doesn't mean I'm just, 'cause I'm accusing you of it doesn't mean that I'm judging you for it. I think that, I don't think I use it in the context of what you're talking about, bro. Okay. Lit. I've never said that unless it was talking about a fire. Well, that's true. But I think maybe you have, bro. No, I, I'm tempted. But, but the thing is, is that, because I know all of 'em, but I think that with your, uh, your alter ego as a dj, you, you might need to be using some of this. I know. I just feel like I just, I can't do it. Let's see. The ne maybe the next one. I feel like I've heard both of you say this next one get send. Get Cindy. Um, so Cindy is when you, um, is this with a c, uh, s Is this the womans name? NDY. So this is probably a derivative of full send. Okay. Yeah. Or if you send it, if you send it, which is probably. If you send it, that probably came from like snowboarding cult culture. Like somebody's really gone for snowboarding cults, and then there was the whole full sin thing that happened. So if you're getting Cindy, it means you're getting a little risky. Yeah. You're, you're, you're at the verge of injury, Unc. Right. Uh, yeah, it's to go all in or commit fully to an activity. Okay. So it's basically this? Yes. You going full sentence. Getting sick. Alright. Not gonna use that one. All right. I think you probably know this one. You've been talking about this one for the entire episode. aura farming. Yes. aura Farming. I can use aura farming. I used it earlier because. It's the, it's a practice. It's concept. It's a concept. It's a practice. It's not just a slang word that you throw into sentences. Right. It, and it actually, I, I don't know if there's any other words for it, like, um, or a farming, it's like, um, what is it like? But there's nothing, there's no other terms for it. That's why I love it. Uh, if you're, basically you're manipulating your, um, perception, how you're perceived, but there's no word for that. What's the word for manipulating how you're perceived? We would say you're front, you're front if you're, if you're lying, but it's not aura. Farming is not a complete lie. It might be some things that are true about you, that you're like, you're really put in front and center like. Um, if your glasses are real big and you start your aura farming like nearsightedness, so is is an aura farmer? aura? aura, not aura. It's not, it doesn't have anything to do with that aura farmer, a performative male. Uh, I don't, are performative males trying to like, uh. Be specifically showing off the, I mean, I guess they are, they're showing, showing off something. Yes, definitely. Yeah. Then I guess so. Yeah. 'cause it's trying way too hard or being really obvious that you're showing off. It's a subset to attain a coveted high aura status. Yeah. Sometimes the way that I like to aura farm is like go to find a perch at a party, even last night. We found a good perch. We were at a party, sit down at a party, and we found a good perch at the party. And there was a, um, it was a place where people were a backdrop. People were having their pictures made. They were, and then we were, we watched every single person, oh, this is a good spot to, to watch people get their pictures made and to judge them silently and. If we wanna call them over to our perch to, uh, speak with you. Well, that was on you. I didn't do that. If we knew 'em, we'd call 'em over like, oh, that's Leanne from that show. Leanne. She's funny. Let's talk to her. I did a little aura farming with Leanne and her daughter. It was like, oh, you guys are just perched up over here at the corner. But it's always said in a negative context, right? It's like, uh, we need to change that. Oh, I don't think there's anything wrong with, with some, some nice tempered aura farming, but yes, I think it something you're proud of that you wanna show off. No, but what if someone, I think it's kind of negative. That's, or a gardening if I feel like, like you're calling somebody out. What if somebody is Larpmaxxing as an aura farmer? Um, where do they get their fake manure? Is it, is that also still on the dark web? Hmm. Yes. Does Gen Z, does Gen Alpha, do they go on the dark web? Uh, not, I think the dark web just happened to Gen X and, and a little bit of. Yeah. They don't, they don't dark web. And many of y'all else know how to get to it. I was gonna say, it's like how, how you said your kids aren't good at typing a while ago. Like I don't think they could find their way to the dark web if they wanted to. Right. That's true. Aura farming's my favorite. I think I've been pretty clear on that. All right. Next I, I'm gonna try my best to pronounce this next one. Lowkenuinely. Lowkenuinely. It, I mean. Lo quin, what. If you can't say it. Lowkenuinely. It might be one of those ones that's more like typed out. Can you spell it. Or just. Can you spell it? This is Scandinavian Alpha. L-O-W-K-E-N-U-I-N-E-L-Y. Okay, well the seeing it helps press that out like a phone number. Oh, okay. Because you got low key and genuine. Yeah, yeah. Right. It is a cross between low key and genuinely. This is interesting. So, so I think if you're aura farming low, genuinely, that's what I think. That's where you were talking about link, making it more of a positive instead of a negative. But if so, and of course we don't say this and I would never accuse Red of saying it 'cause he doesn't. Pro, but you would, I mean, you don't do this low key, you don't do this. And I also would not say low key. That's what I'm saying. So low key means I'm being, I'm being a little quiet about this, this between you and me, but I'm also being real. But if I'm being real, real, then I'm Lowkenuinely. Lowkenuinely. But the, I hear my. It's on the low down, but also completely sincere. I hear Shepherd's friends and Shepherd say low key a lot, and they don't, it's actually, what do they mean? It's more used as like unexpectedly something. So it's just like lowkey. It was great. Like it's not low key. It was great. Yes. That's how they always use it. I thought, I thought the low key was more about how I'm saying it versus what it is I'm talking about. I'm just telling you how I've used, I, I hear it used at low key. I'm speaking. I'm not trying to sell this to you. It just is what it is. Is that what that means or surprisingly is what? I don't think it's surprisingly, I'm just telling you how I've heard, like it was, it was low key fun, man, that so, so surprisingly, so basically like it wasn't. It high key fund, it was low key fund, but they usually tend to, they use it in the context of saying that something is unexpectedly the thing that it is and that's how they use low key I. So it's not on the down low. No. Keep it low key, but I'm saying me and you would say, Hey, you, you've got that. I understand surprisingly, keep it low key that you've got. COVID right now. I don't. I don't, uh, but see, that's how people in our age group would use it, but they would never use it in that way. They wouldn't say keep something low key. They say That's, man, that's low key. Obvious low key. It was hot Unc status, right about low key. Don't think, I don't think you quite get it. I'm not saying I, I get it. I'm just telling you the. I have heard Southern California, Los Angeles. You're saying surprisingly use it in that way. I would agree with that, but yeah, that might be, it might be a little more local, but that is how lo lowkey is used here. Yeah, it's surprisingly, yeah, but so then what's low? When low can you kingly? It is just a cross between key and genuinely, so I am genuinely surprised. Okay with what I'm saying. And I, I think it kind of, this is, this is a nothing word. This is a word that doesn't need to exist because it basically can't understand the way that it's already being used is incorporating genuineness, right? People are saying, nah, that's whack. The party was low key party was low key. Getting rid, look genuinely. Okay. And then, uh, Hz, how many Z's? Two Z's, of course, Hz, Hz. Is this, has it got something to do with husband or hussy? Uh, I would not say it has anything to do with husband hussy, like hussy, hussy. Like my mom would always say about other women that couldn't hear her talking and, oh, she's a huy. And what does that mean? I think it means kind of like a, yeah, I think kind of a hoe. Wow. Oh yeah. Uh, my mom, your mom is, is right there with the Gen A Kids. She is so Hu hu Hz. Uh, so it started off as a a VE for Ho and then it transformed into like a singular, just like one person can be a hus. And it got sanitized into a word that's now like your crush. So it started as ho and it's evolved over into the language is so interesting. Or somebody that you got a crush on. A huz is somebody you have a crush on. Lowkenuinely, I'm huzzin on some, somebody maybe? Huzzing on somebody. Maybe. I, I verbed it there, but Hu Hus, I think that's how it works though. Yeah. Hmm. Okay, bro.
