so welcome to the aid is english podcast my name is jack and i'm here with my co -host social and today we are going back to webster's dictionary and looking at uh some words that have recently been added to webster's dictionary in 2023 and social the first one i have no idea what this means here uh
finsta finsta oh a finsta you you don't know what this is um it sounds like some kind of tax thing that i have to file or something no no it's a it's a an insta but for like friends it's like a private insta which sounds kind of weird um like friend insta or something but it's a private insta um because a lot
of people have per uh public instagrams now um and finsta just has more private content and it's less geared towards like it's not really a it's a social media page in the same way that your personal facebook would be a social media page and less in the way that a typical instagram is run which is kind
of for like likes and clout and stuff you know?
Oh, so like on Facebook, I because I'm so old, I use Facebook mostly.
I can I can make my page public or private.
Right. I can. So only my friends can see it.
But like other strangers out there in the world cannot if they if they go to my page, there's no information there.
Yes. This is basically like a second Instagram account.
But it's it's just for your friends, like any just for the people that you want to see it not promoting your i don't know what like promoting your self image or promoting your whatever you're selling or whatever um that would be your public instagram your regular instagram yes okay all right yeah okay
finsta it says here that it stands for fake insta like fake and insta instagram but maybe you said friend insta i think that makes more sense to mean finsta like friend and insta finsta now i'm gonna google it because what is finsta which i'm sure our fans will be happy to hear yeah fake instagram account
made so a user can post images interact with other accounts in a more private way yeah account followers to close friends yeah so that's what i thought friend insta not fake insta um yeah well we're we're quibbling over the portmanteau but ultimately but the meaning is the same the meaning is exactly
the same yeah okay alright so number 2 the second one is Grammable Grammable means able to post on Instagram okay if you get a plate of food and it's just glad that's not grammable but if you get a served like a plate of sushi and it's beautiful colors and really neat looking then that's grammable you
can post it on the gram instagram okay um so i should i ask my wife uh honey am i grammable is my face grammable yeah i don't i probably don't want to know the answer right to that you probably i think it's probably used more for like your outfit like if you dressed up like an outfit in a certain outfit
and you're like is this outfit grammable like I think it's it's less about like a person's attractiveness more about less about attractiveness it's more about just like the the situation or whatever the the you know the the outfit or the the way the the food is plated um yes the way the sun is hitting
the mountaintop or whatever yes i think it means picture picturesque picturesque picturesque like is it picturesque basically grammable yeah that's funny i've just i've never heard this before grammable but it it makes a lot of sense i haven't really i haven't really heard anyone use it i'll be real
but i just know i know what it means because people say put it on the gram kind of as a joke or do it for the gram it's kind of ironic but it's not usually used in a in a literal like people aren't people are using it in an ironic way so I kind of knew to him for what it means but honestly I've never
heard anyone kind of say it in real life so I could the way I could see it used to be like a group of friends are sitting around and then the the waiter brings all the food or waitress brings the food uh server brings the food and then somebody goes like grammable like kind of as a question and then
everyone goes yeah and then they pull out their cameras right that could work or like dang this plate is very grammable or something and people whip out their phones or whatever yeah i think so ladies and gentlemen we are now boarding group a please have your boarding passes ready to scan if your phone
is cracked old or was chewed up by your chihuahua travel companion please refrain from holding up the line instead go to verizon and trade in any phone in any condition from one of their top brands for the new Samsung Galaxy S25 Plus with Galaxy AI and a watch and tab on any plan.

long snacks limited time okay awesome all right so that was our second one that was related to uh uh to social media and the last one this one is not but um this one is uh i think kind of um i think it's it's kind of applicable to like these days like how people are feeling rage quit oh yeah that one
is it's it's usually used in the context of video games where something dumb happens when you're playing a video game and it makes you rage quit like you throw the remote control yes into the thing and break it it's like let's say your video game is lagging and it keeps kind of lagging and being slow
and taking a long time to load screens or switch screens and so at that point you just get fed up and you rage quit because you're in a very high like it's got to work out kind of mindset you know so i think anger or frustration something like that yes yes so i think for um i think it can be used now
like with anything like you could say oh i rage quit my job yesterday because we had a line of of 50 customers and i was the only person working yeah you you you push the like the uh i forget what you call those uh the the cash register you just threw it on the ground and walked out of the the you know
took your badge off threw it on the floor and walked out and never went back to that job again that would be rage quitting right yes yeah yeah have you ever rage quit anything before um I don't think I've ever rage quit I'm more of a do it like put your head down do it even though you don't want to
and then quit later yeah I'm a I'm a I'm a quiet quitter I think there's another yeah I'm a quiet quitter too jack that's another one our our listeners may not know uh quiet quitting is is uh something use nowadays to refer to someone who starts doing the bare minimum or under the bare minimum of responsibilities
at a job um in order to basically kind of quit or get fired without having to quit yeah it's very passive aggressive but but it's but it's much easier than like facing the boss and telling them, you know, I hate this job.
You know, it's, it's when I worked in like a lot of like customer service jobs when I was young, you know, when I was in high school and college and, you know, I would quiet quit, you know, basically like mentally I'm, I'm done working, um, six months before I actually stopped working the job.
So, you know, I wasn't even doing any of the work anymore or just uh just barely enough to not get fired you know um yeah i was quiet i was quite quitting at the law firm i worked at when i first got out of um college and my first job at college was at that law firm i hated that job and i definitely
quite quit especially when i worked out how much i was making an hour right uh no no way was i going to be sitting there working my butt off it was just a no -brainer I quite quit immediately yeah you're gonna you're gonna pay me the the lowest amount legally possible you're gonna get that level of effort
for me that's it yes like how hard I try is very much compares very much to how much you pay me you know you want to pay me 50 bucks an hour I'll work my butt off you know so it's just capitalism, folks, but yeah.
