Ellen Quizzes Millennials on Old-School Slang

I recently celebrated my birthday. He was turned on. As the children say. He was off the chain. It was bomb.com for ram-a-lam-ding-dong. I don't know if they say that, but that's what I... It's hard to keep up with the latest

slang

, because it's always changing. As soon as an older person starts saying it, young people stop saying it. Because something that was wrong yesterday is now totally shameful. And if you thirst for tea, it's not really tea, it's gossip. And if it's salty, it's cloudy. And the shadow is unpleasant. And Gucci is unpleasant, if they snatch you away.

If you're not sexy, nasty is just nasty, and Gucci is something you can't afford. It's confusing AF. It's crazy. What's crazy is that all of these words start with one person. Do you realize that? One person says it and suddenly it's everywhere. I have some questions. Number one. How is that person so powerful that whatever he randomly says, fire, ignition, whatever, we start saying? Two. Is it always the same person who says these words? Or is it a different person? Three. Why do we say Netflix and relax? Because if we do it right, won't we be watching Netflix or relaxing?

You know what I'm talking? Listen, I don't want to play my own tuba, but I'm pretty famous. People know me. I have influence. So why can't I come up with some

slang

that will catch on? That's what I'll do. Here's one I'm starting today. I'm going to start saying knob. And just so you know what it is, the goatee is that strand of hair that escapes when you shave your legs. Look, we're not going to need it much. But when you do, I got you. Is what I see a knob on the knee? When I was a kid, the slang was totally different.

I thought it would be fun to see if any

millennials

in my audience know the way we used to drop funk. So how many of you are

millennials

Do you know what the boob tube is? Like television. Good? Oh, that was too easy. Alright. Alright. What does it mean to go out to lunch? Go to eat? No. It's not a trick question. It means something if someone goes out to lunch. Are you eating? No. Go out to eat? That's really all I can think of. Yes I know. It seems like... it's your kind of madness or confusion.

Oh, okay. If someone goes out to lunch, they're not really here. Everything there. OK. They are somewhere else. OK. You know what I mean? OK. Yes that's fine. That's all for you. OK. Thank you. She stands up like maybe there was a gift or something. I'm sorry. Not well. Who else said? Alright. Hello. Hello. What is your name? Sarah. Hello Sarah. Here. Do you want to hold this? Sure.

Not at all. Not well. What if I say my dogs bark? What would you think that means? Do your legs hurt? Oh, that's close. Your feet hurt? Yes. Wow. That's so impressive. I am an old soul. I jokingly said that to Portia the other day. I said, my dogs are barking. And she said, what? That? And I said, it's like an old expression. She says, no, she's not. I said, it is. I'm not making this up. I am an old soul. Yes. You are an old soul. Thank you. Thank you. Sit down. Alright. Choose me! Choose me!

How did you know my dogs are barking? My grandfather used to say it a lot. Yes. Yes. It's okay. What does it mean if I go like I have gas, man? I don't know. Man, I'm having gas. Didn't your grandfather say that? No, he didn't. It means you're having fun. Oh. That's what the hippies said. They were drinking gas, man. But that doesn't make sense. Yes Yes what?

That makes no sense. It is not like this. Well, neither does fire or lighting. OK? I guess. But you say it. Yes that's fine. So from now on you're going to start saying when you're having fun, like when you walk out of here and you're like, I went on The Ellen Show and they're like, Did you have fun?
