Christina is probably the only member of the channel who is capable to match with anyone from any country 😂 , even though I like the other members as well 😀
Alot of us gen z's don't even say "fly" like that much...we say "cool" more, it sounds more natural. The examples Christina gave are still pretty relevant among gen z's
I can't believe "poppycock" is misspelled. Them not knowing what "lollygagging" means makes me feel old. Tittynope, while strange sounding, probably comes from the word "tittle" in the Bible. For those of us who were mostly grown before the internet, octothorpe is a pound sign. Foppish isn't a word Americans use much anymore. Foppish is usually more related to a man than a woman. Lickety-split is an old term as well. Quackle and tittynope are the only ones I had no idea about without Googling them.
What country are you from? Because while lollygagging is kind of common in the US, at least with older Americans in the South/Midwest regions, but the rest are not used at all. Lickety-split I haven't heard anyone use unironically outside of old cartoons like Looney-Tunes and Poppycock I've never heard outside of people mocking the British lol. The rest I've never heard once in my life.
Hi Christina. The expressions on your faces when you have no idea about these words are very funny. I failed all of them. In Hungary, octothorpe/hastag = double cross #
Poppycock, not puppycock :D We're not talking about small dogs genitalia but the stem of a poppy flower (containing opioids --> delusions --> poppycock being a word meaning nonsense)
The fact that somebody told them that poppycock doesn’t mean bullsh*t is poppycock. It’s also supremely weird that somebody thought English speakers were correlating nonsense with young dog weenie.
Hahahahaha it's pOppycock. pUppycock isn't a word and if it was it would mean something very different. The mistake in spelling here makes a big differences 🤣🤣 and she was right btw. Nonsense, could definitely informally be described as bullshit.
Keep it 100 and fly are not gen Z. People have said this since the 90s. Ironically "on fleek" is younger slang than those two... LOLI GAGING? you wanna end up on a list? na jk, i love using this term im surprised Christina dont know it
oh no! that one letter difference with poppycock is really unfortunate 😂 a poppy is a kind of red/orange flower and a cock is a rooster and that is all I am going to say 😆
Right now, I'm imagining advertising on a package of microwave-safe containers in big, bold letters: "PERFECT FOR WARMING UP TITTYNOPES!" Guys would be buying them for no reason, and then would be having to give lengthy explanations to their wives about why these were needed. Also, I think somebody suggested they use some slang from the 20s, and somebody thought they meant the 1920s. I was fully expecting to see "balderdash" and footage of a fast-talking wise guy like James Cagney.
From what I've heard, most people only routinely use about 2-3,000 words in day-to-day life, but will have a vocabulary of about 8-10,000 to draw from. But English supposedly has somewhere around 200,000 words anymore, though apparently the vast majority of that is jargon related closely to medical, legal, or technical professions. Despite that, I don't think it's anything to need to feel humbled about simply becuz a word is technically English but either archaic or not in common parlance.
Um... did you mean "poppycock"? In which case, the girls were right. BS = nonsense = poppycock. Also, lollygag and tittynope are both compound words-- no spaces. (If you're sharing unusual words, it would be a good idea to run them by a dictionary first.) For ESL speakers.... these words aren't just "weird," they're all archaic or obscure, honestly. The only instance in which you're likely to come across them is... um... a video like this one? Bibble, tittynope, and quackle are all British regionalisms. Bibble also means "to drink alcohol," but it's largely been superseded in that meaning by "tipple" (and even that's a bit old-fashioned now). And "quackle" (which my dictionary lists as "obsolete") can also mean the sound a duck makes, so the girls were partially right again, there. Octothorpe is just the typographical term for a hashtag or pound sign, like & is an ampersand and ^ is a circumflex and ~ is a tilde. It's not really a widely-known term outside of printing. Foppish is definitely antiquated and even "dandy" (which replaced it) is old-fashioned... you'll encounter it in Regency romance novels, but it's not a word you'd see in a modern context. (I think today we'd say "metrosexual" or "fashion victim" to get at the same meaning, Also note, foppish referred specifically to men, and had a negative connotation of "unmasculine.") Lickety-split is an old-fashioned Americanism from the 1800s. You'd probably hear it from people who also still used "tarnation"-- like, "What in tarnation...? That there jackrabbit took off lickety-split!"🤣 Quizzes like these are fun, but on a language channel you might want to make it a little clearer that most of these words do NOT represent modern English vocabulary.
Growing up my family accused me of lolly gagging when they are ready to leave and I’m being slow about getting ready. I have used it before when I’m annoyed someone isn’t moving fast enough.
These are some fairly old words. Poppycock is pishtosh, balderdash, bullwash. I haven't heard the word "lollygag" since well before anyone in this video was born, but yes, it means the same thing as dawdle. The only time I've ever seen "octothorpe" is in the Jargon File. Americans traditionally call it the "number sign" or in some contexts (chiefly involving phones) the "pound sign". More recently, computer professionals sometimes call it "hash" (also mentioned in the Jargon File), which is probably the etymology of the social media "hashtag". "Foppish" just means "like a fop". HTH.HAND. I am confident everyone knows what a "fop" is because all the young kids these days grew up reading seventeenth- and eighteenth-century literature, right? And yes, it can mean silly, but it's more particular than that. A fop is a silly rich young man with air for brains who spends his life going to parties to impress other young people because he thinks that's what is important in life. Too much wine and not enough responsibility. And yes, excessively fancy clothing. I feel like "lickety split" is one of the newer terms on this list. Something my grandparents might have said.
Poppycock, not puppycock. lollygag (one word, not two). Synonymous with slacking about, leisurely, to be slow. Re "titty nope": 45+ years on this planet and never heard or read this word. Closest word I can even think of, is "tidbit," which means "a small amount." Re "bibble": Again, never heard of this word. Octothorpe... The "pound sign," aka, "hashtag." (#) foppish ... to be ostentatious in nature, vain. lickety-split ... verb, "right away," also "quickly." Re "quackle": two and a quarter score, and... never ever have I ever heard or read this before. Where are you finding these "words?"
