Hi.
Welcome back to eat your crisp podcast.
I'm Jisoo.
And I'm Crystal.
Before we get into the topic this week, I have another Gen Z word to share, although this one, I guess it's possibly not Gen Z.
It's just a word that's been used a lot, and I think Gen Z also uses it a lot.
So the word is deadass.
What's interesting is I actually started watching Modern Family recently, and I've been, like, just binging it.
And in the first season, which was released in 2009, one of the kids in the show, she says, deadass.
Whoa.
Yeah.
She says it, like, the way that we use it now.
And I thought that was, like, pretty crazy, because if it was released in 2009, that means they must have filmed it.
Either 2009, maybe even in 2008.
So that just means that Deadass has been used for a really long time.
So I looked it up, and there's actually an entry of deadass on dictionary.com.
and it says that deadass surfaced in New York City slang in the late nineties to two thousands.
And it made its urban dictionary debut as early as 2003, defined as completely and honestly serious.
This is, like, mind boggling to me because maybe I was just out of the loop, but I swear I didn't really start hearing or using this word until I want to say when we were in college.
So maybe early as 2014?
