[@Guyver02USA]

I thought gaslight girlboss & gatekeep are 3 entire different thing ? In my mind : Gaslight is to cheat or lie to get others to believe or do things of opposite intention Girlboss is self-explanatory ( empowering the female ) Gatekeep is to be so that at something that the person is near-impossible to defeat … 🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️

|BEFORE I BEGIN| Many if not most "slang" words used by gen z originate from aave or gay culture, so please keep that in mind. NOW sus is also commonly used in a homophobic(?) way. guys my age use sus to call people gay. rizz comes from the word charisma. here are some common gen z words/saying u guys left out if u want to make another video: -drip (attractive clothing) -take several seats (be humble, calm down.) -living rent free in my brain (constantly on your mind) -altered my brain chemistry (affected you in a major way, but usually used for trivial things) -chronically online (someone who is online more than they are not, and you can tell) -touch grass (get a life) -situationship (more than talking but less than a relationship) -caught in 4k (caught doing something embarassing) -the ick (idk its just the ick) -npc (used in an often ableist way labelling people who are quiet or socially awkward as an "npc") -(insert word here)-core (the suffix of "core" can be applied to literally anything and basically means and aestheticized or romanticized view of that subject.) -its on sight (used in an exaggerated way meaning as soon as you see that person or thing you will attack them/it) -zesty (used in an often homophobic way to call someone gay) -nepo baby (used in a usually insulting way to celebrities who owe their careers to nepotism.) -the closet is glass (used to call people gay) -F (from press f to pay respects, used to sympathize with people -o7 (looks like a little guy doing a salute) -giggling, blushing, kicking my feet, twirling my hair. (i think the meaning is obvious.) -in my (insert word) era. (ex: in my flop era) -(blank) my beloved

Back in December, I was a part of my school’s Madrigal Dinner where we time travel to 1526 as the lords and ladies of the court and sing both Madrigal tunes as well as well known Christmas music as Madrigals. Our director always has 3 scenes in our script that changes per year, and this year was all about the “future”. The first scene had a trunk with a bunch of items, including an iPhone, AirPods, and a Pop-it. The second scene was all of the slang, with sus, mid, G.O.A.T., and TYSM, all included in a letter, and then we (the court) try and decipher what it means 😂 one of my favorite lines in the whole script was my friend saying “so, like it’s a little sus that we don’t have any figgy pudding yet?” And I got to attempt to define Mid by saying it was in the middle of doing something. Once we actually learned it, someone insulted the Jesters and called out their marriage (we got to have some fun with the script once we had it). Our last section for the future was all about the music, where a music box opens and plays songs from the future as Madrigals. The Girls got to sing Wanabee (Spice Girls) and the guys sang All-Star (Shrek). We also sang White Winter Hymnal from Pentatonix and learned the body percussion. Overall, Madrigals was super fun, I got lots of memories of the 2nd scene during this video 😂 Bit of a long story but it was super fun 😜
