As a Gen Xer, I grew up with the word "Tight" meaning bad, like a teacher who's overly strict was called "tight." Then I learn from my Millennial and Z kids that it now has the opposite meaning. 🙃
@@hannahpaech2306 yes. but i’m not entirely sure exactly what making bread is supposed to mean in gen z lingo (i am sixteen and have made plenty of literal bread though, that’s why i personally found it funny)
Thanks Jimmy, always so funny! Next time please have 'subtitles'. I was born in 1969 in Australia to my Italian migrant parents. i continue to be amazed & at the same time struggle to understand the meanings of words & expressions as time passes on. I love Australia & wonderful people like you Jimmy & your audience who make our country 'magnifico!' no matter which generation one belongs to. Keep them coming Jimmy!
Subtitles should always be an option you can turn on yourself with youtube videos these days. Just push Settings (gear looking icon) then second option down should be Captions :)
Hilarious as always!!! ... I watched this with my Gen Z daughter and I said, "I really hate it when your generation says Bro or Bruh. It's a passion of mine" to which she replied, "Huh? What's that mean?" Referencing PASSION 😂 Proves Jimmy's point - I'm Gen X by the way.
@@claremiller9979 I'm not denying I'm Gen Y. I'm saying some believe there's a micro generation (born 1977-1983) that were the last to have an analog childhood. But were still young enough to easily adapt to the technological age once it stated. That micro generation is called Xennial
Love this Jimmy, I hope you can do something similar with words & terms used in different areas of Australia eg East & West of Oz (eg water fountain, water bubbler ; Devon/ polony..)
Haha seriously whenever I (Millennial) show someone from Gen Z your videos and I know you as Jimmy Rees they almost always say “Oh yeah Jimmy Giggle” and I’m like “Who?”
This was exhausting! Just like in real life. I thought I was staying relevant when I managed to keep up with the millennials - quite a feat as a gen Xer raised in a retirement community(even older than the boomers - these people survived the great depression). I can't even try with gen Z and I have a son born in whatever we're calling the generation after that who I'm sure will be talking in full bleep-bloorps by the time he's a teen. I'm just hoping for a 'vintage' craze over language like there's been over everything else, then I'll be cool again... and no one will try to offer me a sweater for saying so.
Until you made the Jimmy Giggle reference it never clicked that you were Jimmy Giggle, I thought your face looked familiar from somewhere and when you made the reference it finally clicked that you were the guy who I spent a lot of my childhood watching.
I've been binging Jimmy Rees overnight and I am hoping he doesn't run out of material....By the way what generation am I. I was born 1969? C'mon man I am almost comatose now!
Um, I'm 69, and I don't recognise much the boomer says, sorry. Oh and by the way, Z is called "zed" by people out of America or ... people born in the rush of births after the 2nd WW.
I'm an Australian millennial I can confirm that many people my age pronounce the letter "zed" but refer to the generation below us as "Gen zee" even though we aren't American.
Lol funny my dads a boomer, mums gen x (both born either side of the cut off date ), I'm a Millennial my next brother is just a Millennial (sometimes gen z) and my youngest brother is gen z

Which cut off dates/years? Because different years exist (I'm _just_ Gen X, by what Pew Research uses, 1965 ;-)) The newer generations aren't that well defined (yet), IIRC.
