Speaker 3: So if I'm hanging out with her with if I'm
Speaker 3: hanging out with my best friend with other people, we
Speaker 3: do a twin thing a lot. We spend a lot
Speaker 3: of time together, so we speak really similarly. We have
Speaker 3: really similar ideas about the world. But this new thing
Speaker 3: that's popped up with her is if I say something
Speaker 3: in order to like to verbally show that she's agreeing
Speaker 3: with me, she'll repeat exactly what I said.
Speaker 1: But louder, let's practice. Tell me how your day was

Speaker 4: say yeah.
Speaker 1: It's kind of nicer.
Speaker 4: When I don't repeat what you're saying and vice versa.
Speaker 1: Just a little a.
Speaker 3: Little feedback for yourself. It's kind of nice when I
Speaker 3: actually contribute to the conversation. I don't know, it kind
Speaker 3: of hits different.
Speaker 4: No, enough enough, let's get into it.
Speaker 1: You're listening to flex and forums. I'm Keita Flexie.
Speaker 4: It's time that I taught you a lesson for once
Speaker 4: and for all.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 4: I came across this TikTok, which is about the origin
Speaker 4: of human language. Please produce a Brookie play the record.
Speaker 2: But just words, just words like how do we collectively
Speaker 2: decide that this is a ball? So if you want
Speaker 2: a specific answer, the reason why we call these bottles
Speaker 2: is because the Indo Europeans, an ancient ethnic group that
Speaker 2: spoke an ancestor of English, decided that the roots sound
Speaker 2: behech what was the best way to describe the concepts
Speaker 2: of a container for liquids? But if you're asking how
Speaker 2: early humans collectively decided that certain concepts should be described
Speaker 2: with certain sounds, then we're going to have to dive
Speaker 2: into the more speculative theories regarding the origins of human language.
Speaker 2: Now keep in mind this is well outside of my
Speaker 2: expertise as a historicalphologist. I study old languages, but not
Speaker 2: eighty thousand years old. I call these theories because we'll
Speaker 2: never know for sure. The origins of human language is
Speaker 2: still a very abstract field for us linguists. But my
Speaker 2: personal theory, which you should take with a grain of salt,
Speaker 2: is a rather simple one. And then it just sort
Speaker 2: of happened, much in the same way that a new
Speaker 2: slang comes about every now and then over the years.
Speaker 2: Like we look at this picture of hairless rats. All right,
Speaker 2: this is literally me, we look at this rat and
Speaker 2: we think, oh, yeah, that's scrungly does not have any
Speaker 2: sort of old English etymology. It just appeared out of nowhere,
Speaker 2: and that's where I think the majority of words came from.
Speaker 2: It really was just a simple matter of yeah, this
Speaker 2: is a this a tree. Yeah. I mean, let's not
Speaker 2: underestimate the intelligence of these early humans. They had just
Speaker 2: as much capacity for language as we do today, so
Speaker 2: they were probably coming up with numerous slang terms to
Speaker 2: describe a whole bunch of different concepts, just like we
Speaker 2: do today.
Speaker 3: I have my file fla distry that whole time I
Speaker 3: can't explain to you, like it started off with a
Speaker 3: freemy accent I think that was Scottish, and then it
Speaker 3: dved out into like this ironic kind of like mean,
Speaker 3: do you know what it reminded me of. I went
Speaker 3: to this ration on in Melbourne once Quick Caveat and
Speaker 3: this waiter we couldn't figure out if he was just
Speaker 3: like the worst person in the world, like rude and
Speaker 3: over arrogant, or he was like really kind and charming.
Speaker 3: And it was the most like discombobulating experience because we
Speaker 3: were on edge the whole time.
Speaker 1: And he knew it. He knew it.
Speaker 3: It's good to know where it's just like happened from anywhere,
Speaker 3: and I would like to know. I mean, I'm a
Speaker 3: big fan of making up my words and introducing ones
Speaker 3: that feel good. And I think we should do that more,
Speaker 3: because like we can, you can submit a word to
Speaker 3: the dictionary, right.
Speaker 4: Maybe I've never done it? Have you done it? Brookie?
Speaker 1: I think we need to submit flex and frioms.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well let's let's let's I mean, flex is a word.
Speaker 1: Flex is a word as well.
Speaker 3: We should make up a word and add it to
Speaker 3: our lexic kind of use it frequently enough.
Speaker 4: You know how to do that?
Speaker 1: Yeah, make up words all the time.
Speaker 4: It's sim language schnegeldorp, yeah, schnegel d'Or it's a feeling.
Speaker 3: Make a bird word the other day, no, the other
Speaker 3: like last year? What do we call like the X
Speaker 3: of your ex?
Speaker 1: Oh, like pernini more or something pristini Christina Moore? Whatever
Speaker 1: can we find out from? Josh?
Speaker 2: Please?
Speaker 1: Brookie?
Speaker 4: I want it?
Speaker 1: Thank you. I'm gonna make a well where is in
Speaker 1: me and Josh? Yeah, babe through me is like assistant
Speaker 1: director or something.
Speaker 4: I've got one dog a log.
Speaker 1: What's that mean?
Speaker 4: It's a catalog but for dogs, there's something there. Pet
Speaker 4: barn TM this immediately, I do not for.
Speaker 1: Free katas, flex and frooms, Flex and frooms.
Speaker 3: Turns out, age does in fact matter, and thirty is
Speaker 3: too old to go clubbing, well, at least in most
Speaker 3: parts of Korea.
Speaker 1: Listened to this. Bye, we just went to get into
Speaker 1: a pub in Korea and the Islamic nine thirty, next forty?
Speaker 1: What a file?
Speaker 4: Thirty thirty?
Speaker 1: We're too old to.
Speaker 2: Be in the club, I'd like translator, I went like this,
Speaker 2: Oh my god, like this.
Speaker 1: In case that was too hard for you to discern.
Speaker 3: Basically, these group of people try to go clubbing in Korea.
Speaker 3: When they get to the door, the door persons using
Speaker 3: Google Translate to gest to them that they are too old,
Speaker 3: and then so they go around and like, okay, well
Speaker 3: the youngest person in our group is thirty and the
Speaker 3: oldest person is forty, and granted they look like young, cool,
Speaker 3: fun their influencers, et cetera. But it's just too old
Speaker 3: for that club. And the age range is eighteen to
Speaker 3: twenty nine. So I'm thinking it's this like a widespread thing.
Speaker 3: Can you not go clubbing in Korea? Are we missing something?
Speaker 3: And so after some research, what I found out is
Speaker 3: that there's this district called home Day Hong Day, someone
Speaker 3: will correct me, and it's more strict on its age
Speaker 3: because's the college town. But other neighborhoods are more open
Speaker 3: to older people. Now more open does not feel like
Speaker 3: old people inclusive. That feels like you might get away
Speaker 3: with it if you're extra hot, but not for the regular.
Speaker 3: Someone was also saying that actually, now they think about it,
Speaker 3: all clubs should have twenty to twenty nine year old policies.
Speaker 3: You know, when you're too old to go and you're
Speaker 3: opted out, and people like it, Actually is a good
Speaker 3: idea to make thirty and older clubs because I will say,
Speaker 3: you know, I lost my best clubbing years to being
Speaker 3: a DJ. People think it's fun, it's actually quite lonely.
Speaker 3: You're the center of the party, but you're not part
Speaker 3: of the party at all. And so now I'm like
Speaker 3: got my second wind. I don't feel too old to
Speaker 3: go clubbing. But knowing that there are eighteen nineteen twenty
Speaker 3: year olds in there and I'm like about to be
Speaker 3: twenty nine, I'm thinking, should we really be engaging in
Speaker 3: close quarters like this is a little different.
Speaker 1: Probably not.
Speaker 4: I was planning on going to South Korea on holiday.
Speaker 3: I love the emphasis on South Korea.
Speaker 4: I'd been once before and I'd been clubbing there and
Speaker 4: it was it wasn't that young, I swear though. I
Speaker 4: got photos with men that were.
Speaker 1: Like forty photos.
Speaker 4: Yeah, like like making memories, Yeah, making memories, making memories.
Speaker 4: South Korea is a vibe if you like going out.
Speaker 4: Like that alcohol that they drink, that al cahol that
Speaker 4: I drank was like table cleaner and it was so
Speaker 4: strong it was bleach. It was pretty much. And so
Speaker 4: that's such a shame because I wanted to go there
Speaker 4: for the party atmosphere.
Speaker 1: You've still got another year in you.
Speaker 4: Yeah, But I mean, as we know, I'm either twenty
Speaker 4: or sixty, So I can't my ego can't handle the
Speaker 4: rejection of not getting into a club in South Korea
Speaker 4: and I've traveled from X amount of hours. Do I
Speaker 4: think that there should be age limits in clubs? I mean,
Speaker 4: I just hope that Like in Melbourne, there's definitely venues
Speaker 4: you go to where you know the Asias. In Sydney
Speaker 4: there is no such thing. We don't have the luxuries
Speaker 4: of particular clubs that are particular ages. So if you
Speaker 4: are a fan of clubbing, you know what I say,
Speaker 4: go down to Melbourne.
Speaker 3: Simple as that you're not blinking again. For me, it's
Speaker 3: not like rocking back and forth and not blinking.
Speaker 1: I'm saying, what's gone. I'm a bit triggered by this
Speaker 1: story out. It's a cry for help.
Speaker 3: Look, I think I agree. I feel like I think
Speaker 3: it's fair. It's a college district. It's nice to hang
Speaker 3: out with your age mates and have a good time,
Speaker 3: because there are very few things worse than like when
Speaker 3: you're in a clubbing environment having like an amazing time
Speaker 3: and somebody older and jaded is like, oh my goodness,
Speaker 3: is like why are you doing that? Why are you
Speaker 3: standing around? Why are you like yelling whiney or whatever,
Speaker 3: And it's like we're young and loose, babe, Like this
Speaker 3: is how we operate. Yes, I'm gonna take my shoes
Speaker 3: off and climb on the table and the sink, and
Speaker 3: you young people should be able to do that with
Speaker 3: this the scrutiny of an older person being like and
Speaker 3: even the novelty like I feel like some clubs for
Speaker 3: like an older demographic miss out on novelty. That's actually
Speaker 3: quite fun the jugs, like the fun little cocktails and
Speaker 3: like do a little Have you seen that shot where
Speaker 3: you take it and they like grab your head and
Speaker 3: they shake it.
Speaker 1: No funny, it's funny, but you can see shots.
Speaker 3: Sure, whatever it might be, I will say that I
Speaker 3: think we should start bringing in thirty plus clubs. I
Speaker 3: think it's a really safe thing to do. There's no
Speaker 3: need for thirty plus people to be interacting with eighteen
Speaker 3: year olds, and clubbing is saturated by eighteen year olds,
Speaker 3: nineteen year olds, twenty year olds, and you can't just
Speaker 3: tell how someone is by just looking at them, so
Speaker 3: separate and segregate fact.
Speaker 1: Thank you bring it back. You've been listening to the
Speaker 1: Flex and Frooms Daily podcast.
