Who wants to be a millennial? A boomers guide to young folk - Episode 8

Are you a boomer struggling to understand the millennial in your life? A new Herald series, Who Wants To Be A Millennial? is here to help.

"That's lit. You slay. Throw some shade."

Millennial lingo is becoming increasingly complicated and a new mixed bag of sayings is making it hard for the oldies to keep up.

Don't worry, we're here to help with our new "game show", Who Wants To Be A Millennial?

Each day, resident boomer (okay, he's actually only 48) Chris Reed, will spin a wheel containing eight bits of millennial slang. When it stops, he'll try to work out what the word, or words, it stops on means.

If he gets stuck, which let's face it, he almost inevitably will, our resident Cool Young Person Sinead Corcoran will help him out.

WORD OF THE DAY: "TEA"

A hopeful Chris thought he already knew what tea was, but he was wrong.

"I love tea because I'm from England," he exclaimed.

"Not that kind of tea," explained Sinead.

"It means gossip. So if you ask someone 'What's the tea?' it means tell me the 411."

"Of is this because you have a gossip over a cup of tea?" asked Chris.

"Exactly!" replied Sinead.

"Pour it up!"
