    I love this video, I’m gonna rewatch it quite a bit. I am American, and yet the vast majority of these slangs I didn’t know. Goes to show how BIG America is, it’s like a whole bunch of countries put together.

      I also think a lot of these slang words were big when these adults were kids, but they are very much not what most millenials or Gen Z uses today.
      Example: “chicken” referring to money. Nobody says that anymore. “paper” is more common, but in today’s modern internet culture, we say “bread” or “dough”. As in “gotta get that bread”.

      I definitely agree. NY born NJ raised & have lived in PA for 25 years. The South is its own thing.

    can confirm that is a lot of the southern slang, toboggan means like a knitted winter hat, dad gum is a nice way to curse, might could is like probably, and purdy is pretty. Bless your heart is kinda depends on the context like it can mean like I hope their ok ( like oh man that boy got hurt, bless his heart ) or it can mean like I hope things get better for that person ( like they lost all their money, bless their heart) and you can pretty much but any pronoun in there, though I’ve seen people use bless your heart in kinda backhanded ways too sorta walk back what they said ( like you got a girl pregnant?! bless your heart) like its a nice way to say your an idiot

      It’s kind of like “aw, good for you” if meant in a demeaning way, lol

    As a Canadian, I was astonished by them calling a toboggan a toque!😂 Crazy!! Mind you not everyone know a toque is what others call a beanie or knitted cap worn in the winter.

    • Danielle King

      September 10, 2020 at 7:29 pm

      And I always knew a toboggan as a freakin’ sled, not a hat!!

    Matthew forgot to mention that “Bless your heart” is very frequently used sarcastically & is *not * meant as a positive thought towards the person receiving the blessing.. it’s all context . At least in North Carolina. Y’all will know a bad blessing when you overhear or receive one 🙂

    • Danielle King

      September 10, 2020 at 7:32 pm

      My bf’s mom says “bless your heart” all the time as a sympathetic phrase to like a stressful situation.

      For example, I tell her I crammed for a test and got no sleep, she would say “bless your heart”. I’ve heard it more in a positive or at least sympathetic tone more than mean.

    • Holly B

      September 10, 2020 at 7:41 pm

      @Danielle King Oh yes, it certainly CAN be said in a very sincere & loving fashion !!!! You will know if you ever hear it otherwise, for example if said by the exasperated woman standing in the 10 item or less grocery lane directly behind a woman with a full cart & fuller attitude…

How the Front Row Became the Front Row | Vogue

Published

on

Over the past 75 years, fashion shows have evolved from intimate presentations to global spectacles. Vogue takes a look at the rich history of fashion’s illustrious front row. Dior’s 1950s “New Look” revolutionized femininity, while the ’60s embraced individual freedom and exclusivity. The ’70s introduced cultural influencers and turned shows into entertainment, paving the way for the extravagant glamour of the ’80s. By the ’90s, mainstream appeal dominated, and the 2000s saw celebrities strategically claim the front row. The rise of influencers in the 2010s, fueled by social media, democratized access to Fashion Week. Even as the pandemic briefly halted live shows, the industry adapted and returned. Today, the front row itself has become part of the spectacle with celebrities like Kylie Jenner wearing the same outfit we also see on the runway.
