3:23
Alexei who has known online as the

3:28
the scientific study of language to a
3:30
broad audience. Ak one of my favorite
3:32
follows on Inspire am I. Alone
3:34
or to be here. I gave
3:37
has been talking about. you know
3:39
we. Were really
3:41
excited to get into the is as
3:43
good as. It is. So
3:45
how did you start out with
3:47
linguistics? Just started in high school.
3:49
I was in a bookstore just
3:51
randomly came across this book the
3:53
Etymology com by mark for sites
3:55
highly recommended for anybody like even
3:57
mildly to the linguistics. It's a
3:59
very. Read. A fantastic
4:01
book. That kind of it. Took.
4:04
A circular dive into the English language and
4:06
show me how these like crazy words are
4:08
connected And now is the first time I
4:10
as I started thinking about how very all
4:13
the secrets stories behind words and I was
4:15
really compelling to the south or after reading
4:17
that book I started in a self funding
4:20
a lot of that a mall a g
4:22
and then I started Linguistics university. Later on
4:24
I was graduating with the linguistics Korean are
4:26
like what what I do it out so
4:29
I started trying to make linguistics content and
4:31
that sort of the origin story is. What?
4:33
Would you define as etymology like
4:36
how you define. Academically.
4:38
The etymology is the study of word
4:40
organs were words come from. A
4:42
little more philosophically or etymology. The
4:45
study. True. He comes from the
4:47
Greek word estimates meaning truth. and
4:50
I think that's. That's. Also
4:52
really cool because it it shows that there's
4:54
a guy hidden truth inside the words you
4:56
to speak a little bit deeper. It
4:58
feels like as a cool a time
5:00
to be studying. That's because I feel
5:02
like with social media and things like
5:04
I languages changing pretty rapidly like people
5:06
are. I. Don't know, like setting out a.
5:10
Nightmare. Just like people picking up on them. sat
5:12
there and like. What? Are your thoughts
5:14
around like people that think that that language
5:17
is something that is stuck in a certain
5:19
the time that there's certain ways to speak
5:21
and at our our the way we speak
5:23
shouldn't change. Well. People have been
5:25
always thinking that for a million for
5:28
thousands of years and and those people
5:30
will die out. And then
5:32
blinds as a dog chained so it. Yeah,
5:35
they can really do anything about it.
5:37
It's it's always evolving. about the ball
5:39
belong famous corporal patterns, like the same
5:41
kind of slang we're seeing. Somehow you
5:44
can explain using all that I'm logical
5:46
processes which is always really exciting to
5:48
me to him the have that Latins.
5:50
I do think it's maybe happening faster.
5:52
Were in an era where a word
5:55
like raise can go from relative obscurity
5:57
to becoming the asked and rid of
5:59
the. In just the space of one year. And
6:02
and the Internet is compounded that you
6:04
by reality through on how how words
6:06
get popular and as something under each
6:08
didn't. How deal words get
6:10
popular? What are they like? Top Ways now?
6:13
Yeah. Flames always been kind of like
6:15
a virus. Words you know spread from
6:17
one goes to another, infecting people on
6:19
social networks. And and away
6:22
like they've always travel along
6:24
social networks, following patterns of.
6:27
People who are connected to each other.
6:29
They start out in like you know,
6:31
similar social circles whether that with an
6:33
age or eraser sometimes demographic. By.
6:36
The barriers are kind of broken down
6:38
the bit on the internet so literally
6:40
you go viral online. It's like of
6:43
nights so it's spreads faster. Alarm social
6:45
networks because there are more connected. In
6:47
the age of social media. That's.
6:49
The best analogy I have a as. One.
6:52
Of my favorite videos that you Dead
6:54
was about be as balding use of
6:56
l allow. And. About how
6:58
it's not like a let your not only
7:00
just. Breaking down what words mean but
7:02
you're breaking down. The changes and
7:04
then also. A very subtle
7:07
ways in which the use. Of
7:09
old words suddenly changes like a lot
7:11
of my favorite videos of yours are.
7:13
This word already existed and was used
7:15
one way. And now it's being used
7:17
to completely different way to. Can you explain
7:19
that a bit? Like even using their the
7:21
what you said about l Oh wow. Yeah.
7:24
Yeah, absolutely so busy with other
7:27
well so. People. Don't really
7:29
use our well anymore when they're laughing out
7:31
loud right up. But what? the regional used
7:33
on. I was looking at the story
7:35
behind our well as is used in the. Niceties.
7:38
When some guy that brewing last so loudly I just
7:40
knew that he had to leave. A. Verbalize
7:42
that somehow of eat. Food. Out
7:44
alone people were saying that will that I laughed out
7:46
loud. That. Familiar with L a male
7:49
on that was a more intense version of
7:51
L A well later on now it I
7:53
J B O L and I'm personally use
7:55
that but there's other like acronyms or you
7:57
could just say i like know that feel.
8:00
That's some help on you than l
8:02
of on that because this is falling.
8:04
Delete This historical process of semantic intensification
8:06
or or like the word itself is
8:08
becoming less intense. And we need to come
8:10
up with a more intense alternative. And there are like. A
8:13
get this fall's historical patterns so we
8:15
saw this would wordplay very which comes
8:17
from barrels would use me truthfully and
8:19
every time he said barry you actually
8:21
said fruitfully but people said very so
8:23
often or just stop meeting a day
8:25
and we even sing the same thing
8:27
with images right? I mean the way
8:29
you laugh or line started out as
8:31
the laughing emerged as and the laughing
8:33
crying emerging and was the Grimaud you
8:35
know it's a stall him over Jp
8:37
if you're laughing online that this is
8:40
always always at. It. And. It's the
8:42
same pattern you you can't stop
8:44
the inexorable march of language change.
8:46
And how language. How
8:49
different languages compared to each other? Because I know
8:51
that, like. There's. Some words in
8:53
other languages that we don't even have. A
8:55
word for. Like there somewhere that's been
8:58
going around that they said equivalent of sort
9:00
of like said rotting. At Slate. ever
9:02
wait for it And enough yeah like so
9:04
do you feel like out of English fall
9:06
in terms of like how descriptive it is
9:09
there are other languages have have that like
9:11
almost better words. I
9:13
think it's languages is very unique because
9:15
it it comes from a particular kind
9:17
of cultural context and reflects maybe the
9:20
concerns of that culture. There are
9:22
like some myths about this kind of
9:24
stuff. like the annual language doesn't actually
9:26
have to see words for snow or
9:28
is it doesn't determine. The thought
9:30
As much as people like to think
9:32
it does, but there are beautiful nuanced
9:34
ways you can express yourself at each
9:37
individual language that you can't and other
9:39
languages when when a word kind of
9:41
fills that certainly nice. We call it
9:43
a less for gas. So when there's
9:45
like. A spot in
9:48
language that is unfulfilled that there's a lot
9:50
of let's fill gaps. I. Think
9:52
Germany is particularly for with with filling lexical
9:54
gap but that's just because they they're good
9:56
at making like hyper spitzer a specific words
9:58
that we would take. The media sentenced articulate but
10:01
we can still get there in the and then. The
10:03
way we do get there is also pupil
10:05
nuance because we can build their sentences in
10:07
a logical is so for instance, press the
10:09
concepts. Knowing more languages it's great has deepened
10:11
any kind of express it in more. It's.
10:14
Exciting fight like using shouting fired
10:16
instead as he now we would
10:18
maybe decipher. I am happy that
10:20
that person. Is sat in
10:23
as as at. Absolutely. I mean
10:25
Also, we borrowed shot him, brought it
10:27
into English and we can just say
10:29
that so that's that's another way that
10:31
we do in a. Bridge that
10:33
hurdle. We just borrow the word simpler.
10:36
that. I'm also curious,
10:38
like I feel like we're getting more
10:40
aware of like Able is i'm in
10:42
our language and and wanting to veer
10:45
away from from certain terminology. For.
10:47
Like for example, I haven't been
10:49
able to like replace certain phases.
10:51
Yeah, so like I haven't. Been.
10:53
Able to like replace the idea of like
10:55
a blind spot for example, Like.
10:58
Oh yeah, I think I'm and very gray.
11:00
Like you think they will eventually be every
11:02
plate since as not. As evil as
11:04
that like. In the meantime, like how she people.
11:07
Sign. Of fill that gap. To. Express
11:09
that idea. Yeah I
11:11
mean. With. A word like blind
11:13
spot we we just don't have were placement
11:15
that I can think of right? So I
11:17
guess. Until we come up
11:19
with more. Wasn't my kind of stuck
11:21
with that by again. this is a
11:24
historical pattern we've seen way out again
11:26
and again. It's called the euphemism for
11:28
edna Level. I've often a video on
11:30
this where. We. Start out with
11:32
a perfectly innocent word meant to
11:34
categorize people. Like the word idiot,
11:37
imbecile, moron, or used to be like. Intellectual
11:39
categorizations. I mean the A
11:41
Medical. Professional but
11:44
they were intended with i think the
11:46
best of intense like egregiously. Trying.
11:48
To. Categorize
11:50
people, Might have been
11:52
intelligence to they can deal with you
11:54
know and treat them accordingly. Ah and
11:56
and those become a pejorative or negative.
11:59
So people started insulting incline other idiots.
12:01
You. Consider that association and so those
12:03
terms bird later okay with the the
12:06
armored and that that became negative right?
12:08
And then. You became
12:10
special needs. Now. On someone
12:13
special this off. So this is a pattern
12:15
that. He's. Going to keep putting out because
12:17
people are going to keep. Winning ways
12:19
turn genuine com seasons as
12:21
and sell it. As
12:24
a trend, the admin panel was gonna happen over
12:26
and over again on until we. Break
12:28
the cycle by. Becoming
12:30
better as society hit night. I
12:33
don't know if if we hadn't broken the cycle
12:35
of the of yeah, Interesting when
12:37
that cycle comes back around like
12:39
queer. And. Then we're like know
12:42
you have to say like gay and
12:44
lesbian and then people are like know
12:46
we're taking clear back actually and so
12:48
now queer is. Not. The wrong
12:50
word anymore. Reclamation is so cool.
12:52
I think the path of a
12:54
better way to address the problem.
12:57
right? Because of the underlying crosses gonna
12:59
keep happening, people going to keep seeing
13:01
a full fire. Language is also a
13:03
former power. And. When you
13:05
reclaim word you reclaiming the power behind
13:08
upward. the other that getting a
13:10
little bit more into maybe be asked
13:12
politics of language but. I. Think
13:15
that's. Definitely of the may
13:17
do and also. The way.
13:19
You. Can reclaim a word such the only
13:21
You can use it like flaky and work
13:23
as a few black direct nation because it
13:26
on. A turn something
13:28
so so negative into. An.
13:30
expression of. The individual
13:32
creativity of of. marginalized,
13:35
Group because marginalized communities always need
13:37
to com for language too because
13:39
language is run by. A
13:41
white straight you know says
13:43
norms of language and main.
13:46
Route. To differentiate themselves from that, they're able
13:48
to carve out their own identity, their own
13:50
linguistic wave expression the same way. Like. The
13:53
German language has a way to express
13:55
the can shine for you. There's no
13:57
way to express. Queerness and
13:59
a way that is more list
14:02
of of the community. Around.
14:09
With. Another thing around the corner are you
14:11
thinking about a truly special gift for
14:13
your mom? Let me tell you all
14:15

15:05
Mom's given you a lifetime of stories. This is
15:07
your chance to give her away to share them.
15:10
Right before I found out about this project, my
15:12
mom made an offhand comment about wanting to write
15:14
a memoir be as he had such a wild
15:16
childhood and they're all the thing he's ever really
15:18
talk to us about the as he's the one
15:21
to sit down and write a memoir. it's kind
15:23
of thought things so then I got her of
15:25
my life in a book.com and now she's getting
15:27
prompts to answer on a weekly basis as a
15:30
lot easier than just undertaking and entire memoirs. and
15:32
so excited to see my Mom does with my
15:34
life in a book that. Cops because she
15:36
someone who doesn't always feel comfortable just
15:38

15:49

16:06
and trying to get more focused. A new
16:09
Year's resolution you haven't cracked yet or don't
16:11
really know how to fix. I
16:13
have a lotta trouble staying focused and I
16:15
also get super stressed out and I think
16:18
that not being able to stay focused really
16:20
dovetails with that. so if there was a
16:22
way for me to keep my focus that
16:24
did also cause my brain to get so
16:26
scattered with stress, I would love to be
16:28
able to fix it. I sometimes can't focus
16:30
on the task at hand because I'm so
16:32
busy realizing that there are things I need
16:35
to do on the Just Between Us Instagram
16:37

and all of a sudden my brain will
16:41
go up jd you Instagram Have to post.

18:26
the most fascinating thing. You. Feel like
18:28
you've learned in your journey of
18:31
of studying linguistics? Ah man, there's
18:33
them. So many cool things. I'm
18:35
just particularly interested right now in
18:37
how. Social. Media and
18:39
the structure. Social media is changing.
18:41
Language like the algorithm itself is
18:44
driving force like on alive is
18:46
a crazy words. The fact that
18:48
we have that because you can't
18:50
say kill onset talk and. Talked
18:52
to. Thousands. of
18:54
middle school teachers and parents which is kind
18:57
of a weird hobby but at that a
18:59
all say have a thera kids are thing
19:01
on a live in. In schools and
19:03
and the using as you've met them. On
19:06
because they're sometimes a friend. Like
19:08
less scary weren't and. That's. Another
19:11
historical trend is always had euphemisms
19:13
for that right arm, but they've
19:15
never murkiness dystopian context. That.
19:18
They have. And were genuinely I
19:20
think in the next twenty years going
19:22
to see I live. Evolve
19:24
into. A. Widespread use like
19:26
that. There was once because he
19:28
tried talk to. And their
19:30
kids used the word on a
19:32
live in an essay about hamlets
19:34
contemplation of analyzing himself was wow
19:36
that is crazy. By that the
19:38
best for language is going. That's
19:40
like a. Hundred. Years from now.
19:43
we're all going to be bad enough. Cameo can use
19:45
like a formal. Our place in of
19:47
the word kill. Maybe who knows, maybe death,
19:49
whereby? maybe not. But it it definitely is.
19:52
Having. An impact: How the how the algorithm is
19:54
affecting how we speak and I think. That.
19:56
Kind of stuff is is really crazy Me right
19:58
now I'm but there's something. By bags I get
20:00
back at Amazon. it. Please. Do It
20:03
Is it. I. I
20:05
do. You decide what to make a video
20:07
on? let's say like topics that you're interested
20:09
and are like something that you find interesting.
20:11
Like. How are you like? oh this. Videos. Gonna
20:14
Do Numbers. I
20:16
actually still. Have zero clue
20:18
whether they do number double. It's not because
20:20
I always put the same level of effort
20:22
into a video and it's It's always something
20:25
I'm excited. Talk about. Sometimes they just read
20:27
name worth of those. They don't buy it.
20:29
I. Just have a really long
20:31
best the past eight ideas any given
20:33
time. So the thing I mention with
20:35
images and the bleaching of the most
20:38
of that stuff like Night idea has
20:40
my list right now. or. Etymology
20:42
of Jaffe or new Approach or the word Companion
20:44
which comes from frequent together so I just have
20:47
like a place is off my list for a
20:49
year that I've front of me of like. Ideas
20:51
that are just doing around in my my brain.
20:54
And then eventually I find them inspired by i
20:56
don't know maybe it's the second net this to
20:58
modern slang word or maybe I can. I explain
21:00
this in the best on the way but I
21:02
like me like minute long video so I. Kind
21:05
of present a story about a word in that in
21:07
it and if I can think about. This
21:10
cool idea? Average down or not into
21:12
the store in areas that are unable
21:14
to. Yeah. He doesn't hurt here. It's. So
21:16
interesting how people are so interested in
21:19
it. I think because words are around.
21:21
Us all the time and they're always changing.
21:23
And it's not something that we notice
21:26
as much any we notice the big
21:28
ones right? Like. Groovy or like going
21:30
into cool in the eighties and like
21:32
slut what word stick around and like
21:34
don't like on sleep was huge and.
21:36
Then now on sleek is done like you
21:38
know I see like it gives you like
21:40
a real specific. Ability. Sometimes
21:43
to know what years something's
21:45
happening. But. Then the
21:47
ones that stick around for forever. like
21:49
cool or stuff like that is like.
21:51
It's so interesting to me why those
21:54
stick you have any concept of like
21:56
what causes something to. Staff
21:58
staying power. Yeah, that
22:00
is a crazy question. I think there is
22:02
no like one be entitled, give you fight
22:05
or there are like a few patterns for
22:07
example, For. You fill electrical gas
22:09
supply fit the needs to be.
22:11
A reason for it to exist. If there's already
22:13
another word, The does the same job. Just.
22:16
As well then are not going to get that
22:18
word. But. If they're filthy Gatling
22:20
I get there was no. Before Cool
22:22
there are other ways to express the concept
22:24
of cool that it it did it in
22:26
it's own unique way, with it's own unique
22:28
by maybe and that's how it's stock. And
22:31
there is like a transient nature
22:33
of saying like. News or
22:35
far as well words can get popular and
22:37
and decline like Fleet did and that has
22:39
to do as I think broader social trends
22:42
of like food using the word. There
22:44
are ways for words to become like
22:46
reach widespread use without becoming uncool. But
22:48
sometimes when your grandma start using a
22:50
word you do not want to start
22:52
thankfully game or if if grandma thankfully.
22:55
Said did you get into a
22:57
little bit about that? Like the
22:59
politics of language and how we
23:01
often judge people on their languages.
23:04
I. Mean it sucks because it's like. Oh well, You
23:06
know this often happens We just had a
23:08
conversation. With about this where I said something
23:10
was gay slang but what it is actually
23:12
whites escape taking it from black people so
23:14
it's this like appropriate of thing were like
23:16
oh as a black person is saying this
23:19
is somehow. Lower Vs like. All
23:21
of a sudden you've got Jimmy
23:23
Fallon using the word and everyone's
23:25
mom is like we love it
23:27
right? right? That's that's another very
23:29
common pattern. In fact, the word
23:31
cool was originally African American English
23:33
before it was it just. Made
23:35
mainstream right now. we don't think about where
23:37
that comes from. As a linguist my job
23:40
and any good thing was job is to.
23:42
Since judge just described it as it
23:44
is. Say. Like it is. With
23:47
the wait is that there
23:49
is constant linguistic. Appropriation.
23:52
Of. Perceived. Cooler are
23:54
funnier demographics because those words
23:56
and fill a nice and
23:58
like less martin. You
24:02
were to. Funnier,
24:04
And. The regional I have
24:06
like modern like lot of tic tacs
24:08
playing actually. At
24:11
American English or Clear Sanger orange.
24:14
Slice or. Other.
24:18
Canadian The Nine it is
24:21
hop. People. That. Yeah,
24:23
since worth of hi fi, that jazz and.
24:26
Like and society than thinking words
24:28
from that converting English. So
24:31
unfortunately life the continuing he played
24:33
humiliation Fred Mill that wifi with
24:35
disabled or it. Until he gets
24:38
the root of the problem like that's going to keep
24:40
happening. Yeah. It's. Also
24:42
interesting when words. From marginalized
24:44
groups become more mainstream and then
24:46
they're just used incorrectly. Like a
24:49
big one that's going on in
24:51
the clear community. Now is trade
24:53
I don't have you know, What
24:55
That is? So it started
24:57
from. Rough Trade which is.
24:59
A straight man who fucks gay
25:01
men. Are gay men who like
25:03
a guy who looks like oh I could
25:05
like, maybe try to hit on that guy
25:08
but he might. Beat me up like he seems
25:10
straight right? I know, like or hell for the
25:12
sex we have will be Ross. Or whatever it
25:14
is. Then it got turned into trade.
25:16
Which is just like. Us a
25:18
straight guy that you could hook up with
25:20
or something and then now in the player.
25:23
Community. It's used as just like
25:25
any hot guy. He used to
25:27
than just be any even a gay guys a
25:29
straight passing. Then now it's evolve
25:31
even further to just any good looking
25:34
guy. So like on drag race they'll
25:36
say oh this is the trade of
25:38
the season. And. It was just a you like. And
25:41
it's a little bit funny. like they'll be
25:43
like it'll be someone kind of a feminine
25:45
and that person will be like them either
25:47
trade of the season. but like then there
25:49
are guys who are high and they'll say
25:51
oh that's the trade of the season And
25:53
and it's like people. Are mad now because
25:55
they're like that's not even what it means.
25:57
You don't. Like new date Kids are coming up
25:59
thinking tree. Give me a handsome. They
26:02
fit. President. Now says the
26:04
language has evolved. That's. What I'm
26:06
saying. But it's also like then older gay
26:08
guys are like that's not. That's not what
26:10
trade is great like. Now what's. The. Word
26:12
for rough trade. You know devil, that
26:14
the older gay guys are gonna die
26:17
out again. and then trees couldn't Mainly
26:19
Hawkeye. Are going as actually really cool
26:21
process. Remind me of the word diet which
26:23
used to be the name of off the
26:25
Guideline, a book room and and then I
26:28
was brought in. Mean like. Kind. Of
26:30
grotesque man. the nose wouldn't need any
26:32
man general so we see it's called
26:34
Samantha the a widening Gwenda. The media
26:36
becomes kind of broader on so trade
26:39
goes from the Cypress specific definition to
26:41
I guess just. What?
26:43
You said on the phone number or guy
26:45
to guy handsome guy a hot guy so
26:48
that that another like. Of
26:50
historical process. Is the same is
26:52
so it. and. That's really cool
26:54
to see him in a sense of this
26:56
happening with. marginalized, Communities
26:58
especially when. Words.
27:01
Or appropriated. And people
27:03
lose sense of their origin is can
27:05
easily happen like the word ah was
27:08
comes from enough American English parakeets of
27:10
of them and then it was taken
27:12
refurbished in the Journal bug you know
27:14
people are song signal for the river
27:16
and at that point becomes a now
27:18
and now. There are a lot of
27:20
Middlesworth gone around using yacht as a
27:23
noun for quiet. When I was originally
27:25
it was originally introduction. So.
27:27
the bird a speech changes at this
27:29
point it doesn't need but. Like
27:31
again, as a linguist, I'm just describing the situation as
27:33
it is. It does mean by the slave. Trade
27:36
now also me thought guy he other definition
27:38
make those deaths in a than die out.
27:40
That's just how it is it's it's a
27:43
process that have done it. He bethany. It.
27:45
May die out because. The
27:47
idea of. A straight guy who
27:50
sells sells heating he as rough sex
27:52
with a gay guy might even like
27:54
lose this Not. Like as known of us,
27:56
people are out. It's Marxist. It's like that might
27:58
even not be like us. Really
28:00
anymore? Ideally we don't know
28:03
as as gonna say i write think
28:05
they that my and a better world.
28:08
The other? there could be some political mine. Yeah,
28:10
I don't. They say yacht now is like
28:12
stands for something Isn't there? Like a misunderstanding
28:15
where they sing and dance for like. Got.
28:18
Your a stroller and acres of yeah
28:20
never yeah I live animal adjust the
28:22
people like their favorite thing to do
28:24
to make their so called backwards from
28:26
are like bay doesn't come from before
28:29
anyone else and and people have again
28:31
been coming up with a gap in
28:33
a metabolic is for as. Like.
28:36
There's maybe. Ten. To
28:38
fifteen actual acknowledges out there, and the
28:40
rest The Murphy. On Scuba
28:42
Israel ah that is a few other
28:44
the no real but. Again, General
28:46
I was cringe when I hear that
28:48
as they got an entomologist because people
28:50
I don't know they they liked to
28:53
invent. Word. Origin Stories. That
28:55
sounds and be a way. The.
