1
00:00:01,320 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: And Amanda gem Nation with.

2
00:00:03,680 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 2: The news it's fit to print M. Gillespian.

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:07,080
Speaker 3: That's entertainment.

4
00:00:07,320 --> 00:00:11,000
Speaker 2: Bitter print is an apt description because we're talking about

5
00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 2: the Cambridge Dictionary, which has just added a fresh batch

6
00:00:15,320 --> 00:00:18,520
Speaker 2: of words to make us all feel very, very old

7
00:00:18,680 --> 00:00:22,440
Speaker 2: and out of the picture. These are mostly shaped by

8
00:00:22,520 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: TikTok culture social media references, so I thought we'd break

9
00:00:27,200 --> 00:00:29,600
Speaker 2: down some of the highlights so hopefully we can all

10
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: commit this to memory and be very impressive the next

11
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:34,080
Speaker 2: time we're around Gen.

12
00:00:33,960 --> 00:00:36,160
Speaker 3: Alpha and how old is Jen Alpha?

13
00:00:36,320 --> 00:00:38,960
Speaker 2: Jen Alpha are in high school right now.

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:41,559
Speaker 1: So these are words that are going into the dictionary

15
00:00:41,640 --> 00:00:43,800
Speaker 1: just as regular words. They're not Hey, here's some new

16
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: kid words. It's here a regular words.

17
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: It's fully committed to the database of the Cambridge Dictionary,

18
00:00:50,600 --> 00:00:53,479
Speaker 2: as in the big one run by the University of

19
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,040
Speaker 2: Cambridge in the UK. Oxford jury is still out for them,

20
00:00:57,080 --> 00:00:57,920
Speaker 2: so we'll wait and see.

21
00:00:58,040 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: Elbow patches a kimbo.

22
00:00:59,520 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 2: The first.

23
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 3: This one is skibbity.

24
00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:06,200
Speaker 2: Now, from my research, the more you try to understand skibberty,

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:10,720
Speaker 2: the less you know. It's definition, according to Cambridge, a

26
00:01:10,760 --> 00:01:14,880
Speaker 2: flexible word that can mean cool, bad, or nothing.

27
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,040
Speaker 3: At all is about language.

28
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:19,760
Speaker 1: We're taking away anything that's descriptive about language.

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,839
Speaker 2: It's often just used for emphasis or as a joke.

30
00:01:22,959 --> 00:01:25,840
Speaker 2: Now the origin of it gets even more confusing. This

31
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,280
Speaker 2: word skibbity shot to fame with this viral YouTube series

32
00:01:29,319 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 2: called Skibbety Toilet, which I can only describe as entirely bizarre.

33
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:37,280
Speaker 2: It features these kind of like weird animated human heads

34
00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:42,200
Speaker 2: in toilets. It's very dystopian, nothing really happens. Example sentence,

35
00:01:42,600 --> 00:01:46,480
Speaker 2: what the skibbity are you doing? My fiance is a

36
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 2: school teacher, so I asked him about skibbety and the

37
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 2: look in his eyes I can only describe as a

38
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 2: sort of PTSD response, So I didn't want to push

39
00:01:55,400 --> 00:01:56,160
Speaker 2: it with him.

40
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,160
Speaker 1: It's interesting that it's okay that kids have their own language.

41
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,760
Speaker 1: That's fine. But if it's a word that means nothing,

42
00:02:01,800 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: that's fine on their terms. But to have that now

43
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,800
Speaker 1: in the dictionary, a word that means nothing, it's hugely

44
00:02:06,840 --> 00:02:07,680
Speaker 1: insulting to me.

45
00:02:08,520 --> 00:02:11,680
Speaker 2: It's in our day. Someone say the other day.

46
00:02:11,639 --> 00:02:16,320
Speaker 3: Unreal, I say, unreal.

47
00:02:17,240 --> 00:02:20,240
Speaker 2: I do, But at least that makes linguistic sense, like real,

48
00:02:21,200 --> 00:02:25,919
Speaker 2: like you cant and two together. People are jen alpha

49
00:02:26,280 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: tend to greet this word with despair, like US writer

50
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 2: and artist Lee Escabido, who wrote in the Guardian quote

51
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,240
Speaker 2: skibberty brain rod encapsulates a generation fluent in irony but

52
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,919
Speaker 2: starved for meaning. Oh yes, this kind of hyper chaotic

53
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,440
Speaker 2: media serves as both entertainment and an ambient worldview for

54
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:49,519
Speaker 2: young men raised online. Their minds normalize prank as expression.

55
00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:51,600
Speaker 3: Oh that's a great parent.

56
00:02:51,680 --> 00:02:54,320
Speaker 2: You'd like that one, Amanda. Yes, well, let's move on

57
00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 2: from skibberty. That one can stay in the toilet trad

58
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: wife has also been added to the Cambridge Dictionary this year. Now,

59
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 2: if you're not across this kind of social media movement,

60
00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,640
Speaker 2: it's a conservative woman who really embraces the kind of

61
00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,440
Speaker 2: traditional roles of wifehood. When I say traditional, I mean

62
00:03:11,480 --> 00:03:16,680
Speaker 2: like eighteen hundreds very home based duties. It's really an

63
00:03:16,800 --> 00:03:20,520
Speaker 2: influencer subculture, a lot of baking and homemaking, which looks

64
00:03:20,560 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 2: very pretty on the surface, Yes, lovely.

65
00:03:22,440 --> 00:03:24,760
Speaker 3: It's pretty different to people who are actually living that life.

66
00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:28,880
Speaker 2: Yes, but then there's this kind of deeper conservative political

67
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:32,480
Speaker 2: sort of subtext underneath all of that. It's been criticized

68
00:03:32,520 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 2: for romanticizing outdated gender roles. So that's traadwife. Another one

69
00:03:37,240 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 2: which I'm sure you're across, de lulu.

70
00:03:40,120 --> 00:03:42,400
Speaker 3: I think Anthony Alberinezi used it yesterday. He did.

71
00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:44,840
Speaker 2: He used it earlier this year when he said that

72
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:49,120
Speaker 2: the opposition was de lulu with no sululu, delusional with

73
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:49,720
Speaker 2: no solution.

74
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:50,320
Speaker 3: I like it.

75
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:56,119
Speaker 1: He made up s lulu though, didn't he I heok.

76
00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,560
Speaker 2: Went full rip off of it started as an insult

77
00:03:57,680 --> 00:04:02,080
Speaker 2: towards K pop obsessive fan. So that's from the internet.

78
00:04:02,760 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 2: One thing I hadn't heard of this one broler garchy.

79
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:09,840
Speaker 2: Now this is bro and oligarchy. It's a term used

80
00:04:09,840 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 2: to describe tech industry leaders, many of whom are responsible

81
00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:15,720
Speaker 2: for some of these terrible words that we're talking about.

82
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:19,800
Speaker 2: So example sentence, some say Silicon Valley is run by

83
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: a broler garky.

84
00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:25,280
Speaker 3: Yeah right, quite liked that one. But two more for you.

85
00:04:25,400 --> 00:04:26,240
Speaker 2: Mouse jiggler.

86
00:04:26,520 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 3: This is a good one.

87
00:04:27,400 --> 00:04:30,600
Speaker 2: A device or software that moves your cursor to make

88
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 2: it look like you're working when you're not. So it

89
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:35,080
Speaker 2: keeps your computer active and makes the mouse move around

90
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:37,440
Speaker 2: the screen. So if the boss goes, are you online

91
00:04:37,560 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: the little green dots activated? But maybe you're down at

92
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:42,160
Speaker 2: the nail salon getting a fresh shot.

93
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 3: When you're at home with a mouse jiggler, a mouse

94
00:04:45,279 --> 00:04:46,359
Speaker 3: jiggling all the time.

95
00:04:46,839 --> 00:04:48,800
Speaker 2: And then I thought this was a really nice one

96
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:53,599
Speaker 2: to finish on work spouse a colleague you have a close, supportive,

97
00:04:53,680 --> 00:04:58,160
Speaker 2: almost partner like relationship with, but strictly in the workplace. So,

98
00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:00,760
Speaker 2: for example, use it in a sentence Jones and Amanda

99
00:05:00,760 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 2: are still looking for their work spouse.

100
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,640
Speaker 3: I'm still waiting, still waiting for that.

101
00:05:04,800 --> 00:05:06,000
Speaker 2: What about some of my ones?

102
00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 3: What are your ones?

103
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:11,960
Speaker 2: Al Goo, that's not like algorithm? Thank you, TZ love

Speaker 3: That's TZ terrible terrible.

106
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:20,200
Speaker 2: Well, what if your name's Terrence and you get like TZ?

107
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:22,240
Speaker 3: For sure, they're just shortenings. They're not you.

108
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 2: What about tomasa pan? Is that when you take tmazapan

109
00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:28,919
Speaker 2: tomorrow tomorrow? But I'll see you Tomas.

110
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,839
Speaker 1: Actually your explanation of it was better than I'll take

111
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: that drug tomorrow.

112
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 2: The CDA is reviewing. Put them in the book.
