Welcome to the A to Z English podcast.
My name is Jack and I'm here with my co -host Sochal.
And today I'm going to test Sochal's knowledge of 2010's slang.
And so here's the first one.
Sochal, what does lit mean if something is lit?
Oh, lit means... Well, it has a couple meanings.
but one of them is like, I'm lit is like getting drunk or tipsy or like under the influence.
And the other one is like, Oh, that party is lit.
It's like, Oh, it's awesome.
It's a great time. Like, right.
Amazing. Fun, exciting.
Yep. That party last night was so lit.
Yep. Okay. All right.
You got it. Uh, number two, this is right in your wheelhouse though.
So yeah, this is like, this is university for you right here yeah well this is a high school i think probably high school sorry yeah than i thought number two uh slay slay um yeah this is high school for me like slay queen is like um it's hard to describe it's kind of like imagine that someone shows
up at a party dressed in an amazing outfit and you'd be like slay queen go off it's like it's like kill them with that awesomeness kind of i don't know how to do something or to wear something exceptionally well or to look stunning like you look amazing uh here's an example she absolutely slayed that performance
yeah there that's a good idea that's a good way to put it too all right number three FOMO fear of missing out Jack and I talk about this all the time it literally just means um you know maybe you're at a party and you hear about another party and you want to go to that party you're always waiting for the next
best thing to happen right I I suffer from serious FOMO like fear of missing out of things um example I didn't go out with my friends last night because of FOMO?
Does that make sense?
No, that doesn't. Wait, I'm sorry.
I'm reading this off ChatGPT.
That makes no sense at all.
That makes no sense.
It's the opposite of FOMO.
Yeah. I went out with my friends last night because of FOMO.
Yes, that's correct.
Yeah. Sorry, everyone.
ChatGPT let me down here on this one.
Yeah, because if you're, if you have FOMO, then you have to go out.
Yes. If you have FOMO, you can't miss out on an opportunity to go out.
Yeah. If you, if you don't go out and you stay home, you're suffering from serious FOMO like fear of missing out.
Okay. Number three squad, like your squad, your squad.
This country was built on a distinctly American work ethic, but today work is in trouble.
We've outsourced most of our manufacturing to other countries.
And with that, we sent away good jobs and diminished our capability to make things.
American Giant is a clothing company that's pushing back against this tide.
They make a variety of high -quality clothing and activewear, like sweatshirts, jeans, dresses, jackets, and so much more.
All made right here in the USA, from growing the cotton and adding the final touches.
So when you buy American Giant, you create jobs for seamsters, cutters, and factory workers in towns and cities across the United States.
And it's about more than an income.
Jobs bring pride. Purpose.
They stitch people together.
If all that sounds good to you, visit American -Giant .com and get 20 % off your first order when you use code STAPLE20 at checkout.
