Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack, and I'm here with my co -host, Sochal.
And today, Sochal is going to teach me or quiz me on some Generation Z slang.
and we'll see how hip and cool i am and see if i understand any of these expressions so social whenever you're ready jack i think i think because so many like words or phrases and slang like start to become recycled over the years i'm i'm getting the feeling you might know some of these um what about hip
and cool am i hip no we'll give it our best shot anyway um okay no cap do you know what the meaning of no cap is no cap and i can use it in a sentence if you want me to oh you know what i just looked this up the other day because i i heard it and i don't know what it i couldn't remember what it meant
what it means no no cap means uh no no i'm sorry i'm confusing it with mid um no cap gosh i knew this one can you use it in a sentence give me a hint yeah this would make i think it'll make it easy okay for you to tell um no cap so um um jack your beanie looks really cool no cap oh no cap um it means
i'm i'm like serious no joking yes no lie or like for real for real what it means what what is where does it come from what's the what's the etymology behind no cap i actually don't know i'm gonna look it up no cap etymology no cap it's originated in reference to caps for teeth that can be removed and therefore
are considered inauthentic ah okay interesting so this is very much like in the the culture of young people like generation z yeah if i said this to my father i'm like dad i love you no cap He would be like I love you too son And I don't know what you're talking about You know I've never heard that expression I
have heard it before But I didn't know what it meant So you just taught me a new one there No cap No cap Okay The next one is Riz R -I -Z -Z Riz Riz Okay, Riz Is that the sound that a race car makes?
Riz, Riz No I'm not even close, right?
Riz, Riz I don't even think I can guess this one, I have no idea what Riz means You have no idea what Riz means at all it's riz riz i know what a whiz whiz like a smart person a whiz he's a math riz is that no i would say i'll use it you want me to use it in a sentence yeah sure give me a hint okay
will smith has a mad riz oh riz hatred no love no adoration respect oh respect no it's not respecting it I've never seen someone fail so miserably I'm sorry I I've I have no idea it's it really does it sounds like I mean, the closest I could guess would be like Mad Props.
No, it's Riz Me is short for charisma.
Oh, Mad Riz. OK, Mad Riz.
He's got a lot of charisma.
Mad Riz. Wow. OK, OK.
Huh. It's short for charisma and it comes from black culture.
just like most of these slang terms do right um and the funny thing about these these kinds of this kind of slang is that like 10 or 15 years later you'll hear it used on the news and stuff like that like right it cycles through the culture and it comes out the top taxes was taxing now taxes is relaxing

Upwear, stuffy, white -collared shirt, you know.
um their perfect hair parted uh reporters are using this slang 15 years later but anyway that's a side note yeah the last one i have for you i think you have a better chance of guessing this one okay chuggy it's so funny is that scooby's cousin chuggy no scooby isn't is that scratch Scrappy?
It is scrappy. Scrappy do.
You know what choogie means, don't you?
Chuggy. Chuggy. Chuggy.
Chuggy. Chuggy. This gum is chuggy.
No. Nothing to do with chewing.
This is so funny. Chuggy.
Do you want me to try to use it in a sentence or do you want to get another guess?
Should I keep – I mean, this must be just torture for you, listening to this old man trying to understand this young people slang choogy choogy choogy something is choogy it is i i don't even know i i don't know where to start i mean like riz makes sense because it's charisma you know like that i can i
can see where i missed that one but choogy like a choo -choo train i don't know i i have no idea i'm i'm lost you got to use it in a sentence give me a hint wearing ugg boots with a short jean skirt is so choo -gy oh out of fashion yes jack you got it it's like out of fashion trying too hard the opposite
of trendy or like styles that have yeah cycled through and are in the past okay so so like my understanding of slang is chuggie yeah yes kind of yeah you can use it that way i guess yeah or um you know yeah like old 2000 like frosted those jeans are yeah those jeans are chuggie or whatever don't wear
that shirt it's chuggie something like that yeah okay yeah chuggie um And it's kind of it's associated it's a little bit it's like parallel to tacky, but it doesn't really mean the same thing.
It's kind of like trends that were overdone and are out of style now.
Yeah, so it's like you're missing it by like one one step, you know, you're one step behind kind of times.
Yeah, the fashion curve or whatever.
Yeah, I understand what you mean.
it's not like it's not like totally ridiculously bad but it's just like it's a miss like yeah like it's just out of trend with the time period and yeah that's pretty like a tuscan kitchen in a modern home like this tuscan kitchen trend that would be choogy because that was from like the early 2000s
you know right okay that would be choogy yeah i'm trying to think of something else like yeah sure shag carpeting yeah shag carpeting could be choogy or um like blue eyeshadow could be choogy depending on how you do it like frosted tips every every pair of jeans i own are are choogy i'm sure yeah and probably
choogy my clothes from middle school is choogy now so it is what it is yes i'm just waiting for it if you wait long enough choogie becomes on choogie it becomes popular again yeah yeah you just i'm waiting yeah we'll see all right jack well those are our slang terms for this time around the gen z slang
