Slank. Slank. You're listening to the Influency Podcast.

Are you ready? Let's do it!
So, as a mother to two tween girls, I often come across the slang.
So, I decided to bring a friend of mine.
His name is Asef. Say hi, Asef.
Hi. And he will help us understand a little bit more about Gen Alpha slang.
Now, would you recommend people like me, who are obviously not Gen Alpha, to use the slang regularly?
No. No. Why not? Because you won't use it properly.
You won't use it properly.
Even after watching this video?
Maybe. You mean that if we use the slang we're gonna be very Ohio.
Yeah. If you don't know what Ohio means, stay tuned because we are going to talk about it.
If you're new to my channel, my name is Hadar.
I'm a non -native speaker of English, and I'm here with Asaph to help you speak English confidently and clearly, even if it's in...
Ten alpha. Exactly.
Asaph, how many languages do you speak?
Four? Four? Five. Oh, my God.
Tell me. Wait, no. Ten?
It's ten, no. No. English, Spanish, Hebrew.
Yes. Catalan. And maybe French.
And maybe French. Oh, and you know what you forgot?
What? Genova. Yeah.
What language do you feel most comfortable in?
Hebrew or English. Or English.
And what language do you think in?
English. English. So cool.
Inside the brain of a multilingual child.
All right. So let's get started.
Yeah. Okay, good. So the first word that we are going to talk about is riz.
What is riz? Riz is like you have charisma.
Charisma. So it means like someone who is a charmer.
Yeah. Yeah. How do you call someone who has riz?
A Rizler. A Rizler.
Are you a Rizler, Asaph?
I don't know. You're a Rizler.
You have Riz. What is Gjat?
A butt. A butt! I would ask you to put it in a sentence, but maybe we can skip to the next one.
Okay, so Gjat is...
A butt. A butt. Okay, good.
This is really interesting because my daughters do that all the time.
What is Mewing? It's like improving your jawline.
You're improving your jawline.
Yeah. And why in the world an eight -year -old person needs to improve their jawline?
For photos. For photos, okay, good.
To look good. Yeah.
Okay, and how do you do that?
Put your tongue on top of your gum.
And then with here.
The teeth? The teeth you...
You clench your teeth?
Yeah. Oh, I see this.
Got it. Does it hurt?
A little. Okay. Don't you at home.
What is Ohio? It's like an insult.
It's an insult? Yeah.
So if I say, oh, you're such, you're, how do you say it?
You're so Ohio. You're such an Ohio.
So that means that you're what?
Like, uh, like, like cringe.
Yeah. Like, like the opposite of Riz.
So like, you are Riz and I'm Ohio.
What else is an insult?
How about mid? Mid, yeah.
Yeah? Cause if someone says, oh, you're so mid.
That's not good. So, mid is like average.
Like middle, like somewhere in the middle.
But it's an insult.
Kids, like, use it more as like really bad.
Really bad. Because nowadays average is bad.
Probably. Right? So, we don't want to be mid.
We want to be res. Skibbity toilet.
But when I say skibbity toilet, I'm just Ohio.
Okay. What else? Aurora.
Aura? What's aura? It's like cool.
Cool? Like if you're cool, you're just cool.
And then you get like 10 ,000 aura points.
Okay. You just get aura points.
Aura points. I like aura points.
Can I get some aura points?
Okay. Oh, I know one more.
Speaking of aura and cool and Riz, sigma.
What's sigma? It's like you have aura.
Oh, you have aura. Okay, got it.
So, Sigma is like a cool person?
Yeah. So, I'm Sigma.
Yeah. He had no choice.
He had no choice. Is there anything else you think people should know about you, about Gen Alpha, about your slang?
I don't think so. Okay, good.
Does that mean that we are done with a video?
Yeah. Okay. What was your first video?
If you see it now, you're gonna laugh at me.
It was when I taught how to say world, I said how to pronounce world.
World? World? This is how I spoke.
I'll show you later.
What do you think about making mistakes in a second language?
In a language that is not your native language, how do you feel about it?
Embarrassing. But do you think it's a bad thing, it's Ohio, or is it...
How do you deal with it?
You just say that it's not your native language or something.
So, when you make a mistake in, let's say, what?
Catalan? Then do you feel bad?
Yeah. Okay, but you know that because you speak so many languages it's okay to make mistakes.
You know that? Yeah.
You know that making mistakes is a big part of speaking a second language?
The fact that you make mistakes means that you know another language, you know that?
Yeah. Good! And knowing many languages is a powerful thing.
It's really riz. You know that?
Yes. It's sigma. Am I using it wrong?
Yeah. You can't say riz.
I can't say riz. Okay.
It's great. It's just awesome.
It's fantastic. Asaph, thank you so, so much.
