Real Gen Z Slang Or Fake Gibberish?

[@binqer]

Finna burf is clearly Gen Z for “8 months pregnant”

[@Jordomac]

I'm 36 and if one of my kids says they are sick I say "Finna Burf?"

[@alicem3415]

finna burf sounds like cockney . oi um finna burf mate

[@secondconflict570]

morning sickness is typically only in the first trimester. it *can* happen through the whole thing but not usually.

As Gen Z I'll make sure this is no longer gibberish.

At 1:30 I half expected her to say “chat, is this real?” 😅Fun segment

[@baradinafalath8641]

Burf should be a word for when you're not quite sure whether you'll burp or barf

[@rishabhpb]

I thought it's a cool way of saying "birth". Like finna burf? Do you wanna give birth?

[@sortasurvival5482]

Finna burf is what you say to a pet when they're sick. As in, "aw widdle buddy finna burf?"

Totally agree. Still think the set itself looks "network tv cheesy" but the show is finding a rhythm

[@Deris87]

Yeah, the first show was a little rough but looks like it had potential. Seems like it's finding it's stride.

[@dustinsullivan7216]

She's Okay.

[@RageRomantic]

Honestly, it should just be a chat show. No idea why they made it into a bloody cheesy quiz. It seems less fun than a chilled out chat with a laugh would be. Haven’t network tv learned anything yet…. no one watches stuff like this unless someone is in it you like, it’s all interviews these days & podcasts, not one quiz is going viral on social media, or raking in likes on KZbin so why would dying network tv think this would actually haul in viewers.

[@olavikaukamieli1314]

It's fine, but the worst part is when she has to fake laugh at everything the contestants say.

[@mustlovebooknerd]

I love Kelsey. Her bit about her cat dying but her texting her best friend who accidentally thinks she's talking about their third best friend cracks me up EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! And it's totally her delivery of it that gets me. She's amazing. I need a show that's just her, Taylor, and Zach Noe Towers! I'd be rolling.

[@sybariticcupboardrat3763]

I've heard finna (fixing to) and burf (birth or barf) separately, and I find it hard to believe no one has ever put those words together.

[@krimhorn]

That cake is a reflection of everyone's desire to break out of their comfort zone and how they feel when they fail to do so. Expertly done Taylor.

[@landonewts]

Was expecting a mixed game show/talk show format - and excited about it watching Taylor riff with Colbert when the show was announced - but this format is really growing on me.

[@Facetiously.Esoteric]

This is a reboot of @midnight from Comedy Central.

[@jordanberndt4157]

The genre is called a "panel show". They're huge in the UK, but haven't been much of a thing in the States. I'm happy to see that there's finally a good American one.

[@nZifnab]

@@jordanberndt4157 The English really know how to make this format *work*... the US tends to screw it up every time. Wishing Taylor the best though, because she's awesome.

[@rorqualmaru]

Shouldn't they be sitting down and partnered up? Makes for a more relaxed feel on camera and gives more opportunity for zingers. Or maybe I've watched too many episodes of 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown

[@davidt3956]

The funniest bits were Taylor mentioning why the show existed and Milana making the Yiddish reference. 😆

[@clarktownsend8991]

Kelsey and Taylor together again. Love it!!!

If "finna burf" were real it would be a text sent after a friend got home from a late-night binge, meaning "finished barfing."

[@JasminMiettunen]

Finna is a real slang word though, it means the same as “gonna”, so it would be “going to barf”

Finna berf is a tricky one tho. Cause finna is a legit slang word that's used a lot now, but berf is also slang, but I think it's older and may not count as gen z. Like berf is slang for a burp where you throw up a little so "i'm finna berf" does make sense as a phrase

[@KamInBim]

Finna burf sounds like simlish lol

[@stingray1irwin0]

"Finna" has been part of African American Vernacular English for a very long time, it's variable in its application but generally means "feeling like, and/or going to" and it's actually quite useful and expressive. It's an expression that contains an internal dialectic and that's fascinating and cool to me.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

I've heard of the word "finna" for many years, but I've NEVER thought it meant that AT ALL! It's short for "fixing to", lol!

[@MyBiPolarBearMax]

@@MatthewTheWandereri always thought “fitting to” (in a slang sense) but it could be that too.

[@truthup]

"im finna be eating ALL that chowder, fr"

[@atallguynh]

​@MatthewTheWanderer but that's what "fixing to" means... "intending to do something"

[@stingray1irwin0]

Everybody in this thread is correct! "Finna" is indeed related to "fixing/fitting to", however many younger users are innocently unaware of this connection!

[@roncinephile]

"finna burf" has got to mean "fixing to burp & barf" as in "about to vomit"
