Are you ready? 00:00:27 Xochitl Yes, I am ready. 00:00:28 Jack This is straight up. This is little Jack in high school talking with his friends, using expressions like this first one. 00:00:38 Jack All that and a bag of chips. 00:00:42 Xochitl Uh. Cringe. Expressions, in other words. 00:00:48 Jack What does it mean? 00:00:50 Xochitl UM, all that in the bag of chips. Actually, I heard my millennial sister use that and it means. 00:00:59 Xochitl It's like, uh, if you see a really pretty girl and she's really popular, she's a cheerleader captain, and she's really smart and everything. And you say, man, she's all that and a bag of chips. 00:01:13 Jack It's really a dumb expression. I mean, when I think about it. 00:01:17 Xochitl I know, I guess. I guess like it comes to when you eat stuff and you have like all that food and a bag of chips on. 00:01:24 Xochitl Top of that maybe so. 00:01:26 Jack I think it I think it, I think it just means like a bag of chips are like something good. Like chips are good, right everyone likes. 00:01:32 Jack Chips. And so you're everything. 00:01:38 Jack Even a bag of chips on top of that like. 00:01:41 Jack Like you're you're more. You're just like Infinity plus one. You know, you're all that. 00:01:48 Jack Plus, a bag of chips. 00:01:51 Jack I don't know. What do you think about my what's how does my theory hold up there? 00:01:57 Xochitl UM. 00:01:58 Xochitl I don't know. I don't that one does confuse me, Jack. I'm not gonna lie that. 00:02:02 Xochitl One gets me. 00:02:03 Jack Alright, I I I still I'm. I'm still holding on to. I think like your Infinity, you're everything. Plus you're even more than everything. You're like everything and. 00:02:14 Jack A bag of chips. 00:02:15 Xochitl Yeah, I guess I think that that is I agree with that with that theory. 00:02:21 Jack OK. 00:02:23 Jack UM #2. 00:02:28 Jack PHAT. 00:02:31 Xochitl UM, fat PHAT. That's a good thing. Ohh man, that's fat. Like that's cool. That's it's a positive. It's a positive thing. 00:02:42 Jack Yeah, right. Exactly what, that's what the definition here says. Excellent. Cool or attractive? Ah, that's fat. 00:02:53 Jack Be careful where you use this one. You know, uh, but uh, my understanding is that this is an acronym that means pretty hot and tempting. 00:03:05 Xochitl Ohh interesting. I never knew about that. 00:03:08 Jack I have no idea if that's true. 00:03:09 Jack Or not, but that's. 00:03:10 Jack What I heard through the Grapevine. 00:03:13 Jack Pretty hot and tempting. Excellent. Cool. Attractive fat. OK, fly. 00:03:22 Jack That girls fly. 00:03:26 Xochitl That girls fly. 00:03:29 Xochitl It just means cool again, like she's cool. She's there. There was a song that would go like, so hot, so fly or something. And that came out in like the 2000s or early 2000s, I think. But yeah, it just means cool. She's cool. 00:03:43 Jack I think people still use it right, like. 00:03:46 Jack Miss floss? No, maybe not. 00:03:49 Xochitl They but but they I think they probably did like in the two 2000s. 00:03:55 Jack Yeah, yeah, yeah. Here it just says stylish or fashionable, like fly, like you like well dressed, well presented. Very attractive. Yeah. Fly. 00:04:07 Jack Cool, yeah. 00:04:10 Jack All right. How can I do?
