If Your Grandma Spoke Like a Millennial, This is How It'd Sound
You probably remember the sensation that was "Grandmas Try Fireball Whiskey For The First Time." If so, you remember how outspoken and rambunctious those ladies got. Well, they're back with some more elderly opinions on the confusing culture of a generation that is millennials. This time, instead of trying to ingest hot whiskey, they're trying to figure out what the hell millennial are talking about. Specifically, the brand new language that's been created. YOLO, so learn the slang–I suppose.
Admittedly, I'm a millennial and I don't have a clue what "on fleek" means, so I understand these women's woes. They do their best to try and decipher it. However, it gets a bit odd when the example sentence is, "Your eyebrows are 'on fleek.'"
These two are just as confused about what the anonymous person is rattling off to them. What are these words? On the left, you can see sincere thought being given while on the right her glazed eyes tell the story of millennial dialect.
The woman on your left explains once she's figured out what "on fleek" means, she plans to go home and tell her cat this new information. I'm guessing her cat is "on fleek," but like I said, I don't even know what "on fleek" means.
Next up is the millennial term, "BAE." They pick up on this one a bit easier but are still confused why a word so short such as "babe" needs to be shortened.
The answer? I don't know, because even as a millennial, I've not said the word "BAE" in my life. This might even be the first time I've typed it. How do they feel about it? They come to the conclusion, although this is apparently a term of endearment, that "BAE" just doesn't sound very nice.
Finally, they're asked about the word "perf," to which you can see she responds with a thumbs up and exclaims, "perfection!"
That one was a bit easier, but I'm guessing neither of these ladies are going to start implementing the word "perf" into their everyday vocabulary.
You can watch the entirety of all four of these grandmas trying to figure out the words they've undoubtedly heard their grandchildren saying, and why they been saying them, here.
What do you think? Are these grandmas "on fleek," your "BAE," "perf" or none of the above, because they deserve to be described by actual words that exist in their full form?
