What is a phrase that millennials are kind of known for saying that maybe younger people find embarrassing? I have a list of 10. There are some I actually agree with. It's like we shouldn't be saying this anymore. Others I don't agree with and then there's even a third category that I didn't even know it was a phrase. Oh, okay. Uh, like Bella, where have you been? Loka. Oh, yeah, I... You know, not familiar? I never, never heard that one. Here's one that irritated me as soon as it started. Thanks a lot of Hunger Games. I volunteer as tribute. I hate whatever people say that. I've always hated people say that. I mean, I haven't said it just because I never watched a Hunger Games or read any of the books, but it didn't bother me when people said it. Like, do your thing, whatever. Who are you people? That's funny. What is that from? I don't know, but it's funny. Leave us alone, Gen.C. The Muffin Man. Yeah, again, leave us alone. You weren't there. You weren't there whenever the OG Shrek dropped. Okay, it was a moment.
Squeeze me. Is that supposed to say I'm wondering if they meant ex-squeeze me, which is an embarrassing thing to say. It is embarrassing, but also I'm going to say it. How about Wazap? Does anyone even do that anymore? I, we should bring it back. I think I did because I disagree. Like Wazap is funny. Tina Eat, Eat the Food. Is that Napoleon Dynamite? Yeah. That's not one that I hear that much, but the one I do hear and still like is Tina Yafat-Large. Right, no, that's the full phrase. I feel like Gen.C. They just haven't heard it. They don't know exactly what it is. And that's fair. You didn't live Napoleon Dynamite. It is a cringe movie. It had to be there, but let us have Tina Yafat-Large come get your dinner. How about how rude? Are you feeling like this whole list is pretty rude? It is pretty rude because a lot of these are pop culture moments. Like we grew up watching full house. So sue us. She doesn't even go here. Mean girls. And finally, it's been 84 years.
Oh, I don't know that one. I don't, there are several of these that I just don't know. 601-995-1017. Katie from Pearl says, Stop Sign. What Stop Sign? Is that supposed to be embarrassing or just another millennial phrase? And I don't know what that's from. I'm so sorry. Uh, that's what's up. Is an embarrassing millennial phrase from Greg. Thanks for that. What, what is that embarrassing? That's what's up. That's what's up. That's what's up.
