Kelly Quizzes The Audience On Teenage Slang | The Kelly Clarkson Show

– Before we get to the rest of the show, I want to talk to you guys
about a high school teacher who I’m obsessed with. One, I just love teachers. My mama was a teacher, and they just, it’s such a giving job. You’re underpaid, it’s just a really, really awesome vocation. When you see teachers, please hug them. They need a hug. Kids can be mean. (audience laughs) Trust me, I have four. (audience laughs) Wine. They’re really sweet
sometimes, but anyway, he found a way to relate to students, and I thought it was amazing. James Callahan is a sociology teacher. You may not know his name, but you’ve probably seen his
spreadsheet on the internet. It’s a list of all the slang
words his students use, along with their definitions. Here’s the best part. I have a teenager who says words, I don’t know what they
mean, like all the time. She said a word and my
sister and I were like, what? And she was like, that means tired. And I’m like, just say you’re tired. (audience laughs) What’s wrong with the word tired? I don’t understand, but anyway, Mr. Callahan was cool enough to come and be in our audience today. Come on, stand up, Mr. Callahan. (audience cheering) – Thank you. – Yeah, thank you so much for
being in our audience today. Why did you make that list? – I’ve always been
interested in teenage slang, so I’ve heard so much
over the last 15 years. I told myself that I really
have to start writing this down, because the language
changes from year to year. – New fake words arrive, yeah. (audience laughs)
– And I wanted to have some kind of resource so that I could better
understand my students, better understand how they
communicate with each other, better understand how
they communicate with me, and so, 15 years later, I finally sat down and
started compiling the list. – So what’s your favorite one? – I think my all-time favorite is snack. Do you know snack? – I do know snack. – [James] Okay. – I’ve seen many a snack.
– See– (audience laughs) Snack, to me, is a small amount of food that one would eat between meals. – Yeah, that’s a person who reads books about magazines, yes. – Right, right, but to the Generation Z, a snack is a person who is
attractive or looks good. – Like myself. – Yes, of course. (audience cheering) – Since Mr. Callahan has
picked up so many slang words over the years, I thought it would be fun to quiz the audience. So let’s see if you
guys can correctly guess what the words mean, but
this is gonna be a pop quiz. You’re welcome. So as the camera lands on you, you have to answer or you have to leave, okay? (audience laughs) I’m just kidding. I just want you to play. (audience laughs) All right, you ready? (audience cheering) All right, go! (drum roll)
(audience applauds) All right, yes! Okay, what’s your name? – Katrina Williams. – [Kelly] Katrina Williams,
are you ready to play? – I am ready to play. – [Kelly] All right, all right. Katrina? – Yes. – What about wig snatched? Have you ever heard that one? – Oh, that means your hair is tore up. (audience laughs) – Oh, my God, I love you! Is that right, Mr. Callahan? Oh, no, I don’t think so. – Well, no, not right, unfortunately. (buzzer sounds) – All right, girl, you got it wrong. Wait, what does it mean? – According to Gen Z, wig snatched is having your mind blown, or experiencing an impressive feat. – [Kelly] Oh. – Got my wig snatched, my mind was blown. – It might be pretty impressive how bad the hair looked, though, so– (audience laughs) – [James] That’s true,
that’s true, that’s true. – The flock of seagulls,
a little nice, yeah. All right, well, you lost, okay. (audience applauds) I’m just kidding. I get competitive. All right, who’s next? (drum roll)
Who wants to play? All right, all right. What’s your name? – Hi, my name is Megan Lunphy. – Okay, your slang
phrase is secure the bag. What do you think secure the bag means? – Get the money. – Yeah, it kind of sounds like a drug cartel’s a part of this. (audience laughs) Yeah, it does sound interesting. Okay, Mr. Callahan, is that right? – That is correct.
– Get the money! (bell dings)
(audience applauds) I feel like we should have
a prize if you get it right, but it’s the first season, so we have a really little budget. (audience laughs)
So you get a round of applause! (audience applauds) Thank y’all for playing, and Mr. Callahan, thank you so much for
being here, and seriously, thank you for being a teacher. (audience applauds)
I really appreciate it.
