BOOMER Comedian Tries to Guess GEN-Z Slang | James Gregory

[@JonBooth-bi8cl]

Sir , you are not behind the times , you are timeless . I admire your take on life . Thankyou for not only making me laugh but sharing the truth as you see it . Keep on keepin'on .

[@nancywood9531]

I remember dank in literature " it was a dark, dank night" meaning wet, dreary, visibility bad etc scary night. Dank.

[@dwb142]

Mr. Gregory your last comment hit the nail on the head! 😂

[@Macsrus5]

“Really?” “Oh Really?” He’s so funny🤣

[@candyh9876]

Most of the "new" words going around make absolutely no sense its like people have forgotten how to speak English and communicate with gobbledeegook words , my boys (in their 20's) have to explain alot of these words , I prefer plain English thank you very much !

[@bensheard3969]

When a society is in decline instead of building on the language their goal is to confuse people who aren't part of the "in" crowd to live in cognitive dissonance.

[@nancywood9531]

Me too Cindy. I guess I'm old and I hate it that we learned cursive writting...no longer taught...math and English find kids graduating and can do neither. I think it's killing American culture. These kids are a lost generation. Don't want to work...can't count money . Honestly I had 16 cents coming back from. 2 dollars an the high school senior didn't know how to give me 16 cents. Dime. Nickle and penny. We are just a nation destroying itself. Waiting for China to come take us over.

[@pickledpopcorn8404]

I'm ok being in the same boat as you Mr Gregory. New generations, new double talk to mess with adults. Flappers, Zoot suits, beatniks, hippies, disco crowd, folk music, polka, classic - hard -soft- & more rock. I betcha Plato didn't know what the kids were talking about either 😂

[@bensheard3969]

It's indicative of a declining society because we are more interested in how it sounds than actually building on the language

[@ESPLTD322]

Don’t worry James, I just turned 27 and I only knew 2 of these. The slang is a bit dumb these days haha

[@caroann]

I’m a new fan but….. I watch you all the time now! You always make me LOL. 🤣

[@upsideways]

The glasses are Drip too! Keep on keepin on JG!!! Enjoy your comedy.

[@jenniferhoffpauir1048]

Wish they would have told what all the words meant. I love him so much!!!

[@2Madre]

😂😂😂 clapback 👏 👏 👏

[@nancywood9531]

Drip was used in 50's. You would say a guy was a drip...meaning boring. A nurd type, not popular or fun to be around.

[@craigpimlott204]

Or thick as a corned beef sandwich

[@jason4522]

Love your shows and comedy 🎭 thanks buddy. You’ve faced a whole bunch of us great memories of thanksgiving’s and family dinners of the past. Lol😂🎉😅 😜 👍🏼😎

[@ljtlove4519]

I love your comedy! You are one of THE BEST!!! Your southern stories are hilarious! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@janicedavis4325]

In the early 60’s, a drip was a nerdy person

[@Tambryl]

Dull or boring, lol

[@AngryRantsAndStuff]

My parents are from your generation, James. I don't know most of these either, but dank is actually from gen x Manny the hippie used to say it on Letterman. It probably means something different now.

[@axellno1759]

I score the same as you. I guess it's so wide spread nobody uses them.

[@gailbrezinka9766]

Hang on world next generation will have a whole different vocabulary 😂🤣😂 They say history repeats itself, 🤔 maybe the 1940s 1950s are next? 😂🤣😂 Don't feel bad James there's many of us that are right there with you. Older than some trees, not as old as dirt. I laugh at the, " ok boomer" 😂 someday those young ones will hopefully will be this old. I wonder what they'll be called? 🤔

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

they'll be called, "idiots". same as now.

[@razzieputin]

@@JohnLeePettimoreIII Same as the older folk called us when we were young. Its the circle of old...

[@georgeherod4252]

Dank used to mean like a dark wet moldy basement

[@christophercrone2117]

Dank isn't slang lol. It means damp

[@reidveryan9414]

Dank, to my understanding means damp, with perhaps the connotation of also being cold and musty as well.

[@emale03]

James is right on!

[@lisaburks2]

The best man on earth

[@daleeasterwood2683]

Hope this is a recent interview. He looks a lot better in it.

[@dave0246]

I’m 39 I knew like 2 of them sus and ok boomer that’s it, these words are sus

[@demetriuscooksey7147]

Dank means moist, moldy, and probably has a musty, unpleasant odor.

[@upsideways]

How about a Karen?

[@elizabethseals2001]

I'm 40 and i don't know what these words mean. I graduated high school in 2001. Wow. I can't believe I'm 40. I feel much younger. Lol

[@jeffreydillingham7630]

Stan "the man" Musial.

[@tplow95]

I was born in 1995 and I only knew one of those terms

[@stevenjohnson9855]

Hahahahahahaha

[@LolcowFarm-qr3if]

Boy thisnguy is right

[@richardcrouse9074]

Dank is the fist of thank you from a baby learning to talk, “dank ooo”

[@craigpimlott204]

In parts of England, Dank means an area that is wet or damp .and drip is somebody who’s thick as a brick ,or water dripping ..

[@kristenmarie9248]

Yes, and they mean that in Ohio too. 👍

[@JohnLeePettimoreIII]

same from Texas and everywhere else i have lived. (and i have lived all over the USA.)

[@Tambryl]

Some place that's dark and dank.

[@jadeblues357]

As a tail end Boomer Born in 1963 dank when I was a kid met something very much, the same as it does in England, dark and wet

[@stephanie3848]

Isn't that the proper meaning?? Lol

[@LadieFromHell]

👀😲😱😵😵😂😂🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣

[@LolcowFarm-qr3if]

Im 34 and dont know these

[@vashmatrix5769]

Hey I'm 30s & won't use most of these. Most make the speaker look foolish imo.

[@grumpyoldguy584]

In case you didn't already know, you don't have to use slang in order make yourself look foolish.

[@LolcowFarm-qr3if]

Why dont they explaine Them

[@Ehlaar]

I never knew what dank meant
