Three older gay men tried to understand the younger generation’s modern slang in a video for Into.
The men get confused over the terms “Bussy,” “Bop,” “Beat for the Gods,” “Extra,” “F#ck My Drag Right,” “Gayby,” “Gayce,” “Yasss,” “Kiki,” “Werk” and “Okurr.”
They also learn about “Miss Vanjie” from “RuPaul’s Drag Race.”
“Is my gay card gonna be taken away because I don’t watch RuPaul?” one man asks.
However, the men did connect with the term “slay.”
“I still use it,” one man exclaims.
“Are we living in a different world? We feel dumb,” another man says at the end.
Watch below.
