In this episode of the A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack look at three words which were added to Webster's Dictionary in 2023.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the Adas English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are going back to Webster's dictionary and looking at some words that have recently been added to Webster's Dictionary in 2023.00:00:19JackAnd so so the first one, I have no idea what this means here. Uh finsta finsta.00:00:28XochitlOhh a Finn star. You you don't know what this.00:00:32JackIt sounds like some kind of.00:00:33JackTax thing that I have to file or something.00:00:36XochitlNo, no, it's a it's a an insta but for like friends, it's like a private insta which sounds kind of weird.00:00:47XochitlLike friend in store or something, but it's a private insta.00:00:52XochitlCause a lot of people have per public Instagrams now and finsta just has more private content and it's less geared towards like it's not really a, it's a social media page in the same way that your personal Facebook would be a social media page and less in the way that a typical.00:01:11XochitlInstagram is run, which is kind of for like likes and clout and stuff you.00:01:15JackOhh so like on Facebook I because I'm so old. I use Facebook. Uh. Mostly. Uhm I can.00:01:23JackI can make my page public or private, right? I can.00:01:26발표자 3MM.00:01:27JackSo only my friends can see it. But like other strangers out there in the world, cannot. If they if they go to my page, there's no information.00:01:35JackAction there. This is basically like a second Instagram account, but it's it's just for your friends. Like any just for the people that you want to see it, not promoting your I don't know what the promoting yourself image or promoting your whatever you're selling or whatever that would be your public Instagram.00:01:36XochitlYes.00:01:56JackYour regular Instagram.00:01:58XochitlYes.00:01:59JackOK, alright. OK, fenced. Uh, it says here that it stands for fake.00:02:00발표자 3Yeah.00:02:04JackThe.00:02:05JackLike fake and Insta finsta.00:02:07XochitlInstagram, huh?00:02:08JackBut maybe you're you said friend Insta. I think that makes more sense to me. Finsta like friend and Insta Finsta.00:02:17XochitlNow I'm gonna Google it cause.00:02:20XochitlWhat is fenced, which I'm sure our fans will be happy to hear? Yeah, fake Instagram account made so user can post images, interact with other accounts in a more private way.00:02:30JackYeah, I mean, that's exactly what you said.00:02:30발표자 3Usually.00:02:31XochitlFrom the accounts followers to close friends. Yeah. So that's what I thought, friend. Instant. Not fake insta.00:02:36XochitlYeah.00:02:39JackYeah. Well, we're we're quibbling over the portmanteau, but ultimately it doesn't matter. The meaning is exactly the same. Yeah, since OK.00:02:44XochitlBut the meaning is the same. The meaning is.00:02:48XochitlYes.00:02:51JackAll right, so #2, the second one is grammable.00:02:59XochitlUh grammable means able to post on Instagram.00:03:05JackOK.00:03:06XochitlLike if you're if you get some a plate of food and it's just glad that's not grammable, but if you get a a served like a plate of sushi and it's beautiful colors and really neat looking, then that's grammable. You can post it on the gram Instagram.00:03:23JackOK.00:03:25JackSo I should I ask my wife, honey?00:03:30JackAm I grammable? Is my face grammable? Yeah, I don't. I probably don't want to know the answer right to that.00:03:36XochitlYou probably, I think you'd probably be used more for like your outfit. Like if you dressed up like an outfit and a certain outfit and you're like, is this outfit grammable like I think it's it's less about like a person's attractiveness, learning more about like.00:03:48JackYeah, yeah, yeah. It's less about attractiveness. It's more about just like the the situation or whatever the the, you know, the, the, the outfit or the the way the the food is played.00:04:00JackDid the way the sun is hitting the mountaintop or whatever? Yeah.00:04:01XochitlYes.00:04:05XochitlYes, I think it means picture picturesque, you know, picturesque. Like is it picturesque basically.00:04:08JackPicturesque, yeah.00:04:12JackGrammable. Yeah, that's funny. I've just. I've never heard this before, grammable. But it it makes a lot of sense.00:04:19XochitlI haven't really.00:04:21XochitlI hadn't really heard anyone use it. I'll be real, but I just know I know what it means because people say put it on the gram kind of as a joke or do it for the gram. It's kind of ironic, but it's not usually used in a in a literal like people aren't. People are using it in in an ironic way, so I kind of knew to them.00:04:41XochitlFor what it means, but honestly, I've never heard anyone kind of say.00:04:43XochitlIt in real.00:04:44XochitlLife so.00:04:45발표자 4I could the way.00:04:46JackI could see it used to be like a group of friends are sitting around and then the the waiter brings all the food or waitress.00:04:52JackThe food server brings the food and then somebody goes like grammable like kind of as a question, and then everyone goes. Yeah. And then they pull out their cameras and they your phone is.00:05:02XochitlRight, that that could work. Or like Dang, this played a very grammable or something. Then people without their phones or whatever. Yeah, I think so.00:05:03JackInspected.00:05:10발표자 3OK.00:05:12JackOK, awesome. Alright, so that was our our second one that was related to to social media and the last one this one is not but this one is I think kind of.00:05:27JackI think it's it's kind of applicable to like these days, like how people are feeling rage quit.00:05:35XochitlOhh yeah that one is it's. It's usually used in the context of video games where something dumb happens when you're playing a video game and it makes you rage quit like it's like yes into the thing and break it. It's like let's say your video game is lagging and it keeps kind of.00:05:47JackYou throw the remote control.00:05:55XochitlLagging and being slow and taking a long time to load screens or switch screens and so at that point you just get set up and you rage quit because.00:06:04XochitlYou were in a very high, like.00:06:08XochitlIt's got to work out kind of mindset, you know, so I think.00:06:10JackA fit of anger or frustration. Something like that.00:06:13XochitlYes, yes. So I think for I think it can be used now like with anything like you could say. Ohh I rage quit my job yesterday cause we had a line of of 50 customers and I was the only person working.00:06:29JackYeah.00:06:29JackYeah. You, you, you, you push the like the I I forget what you call those the the cash register you just threw it on the ground and walked out of the the you know took your badge off threw it on the floor and walked out and never went back to that job again that would be rage quitting.00:06:29XochitlI am.00:06:50JackRight.00:06:51XochitlYes.00:06:52JackYeah.00:06:53발표자 4Yeah. Have you ever rage quit anything before?00:06:57XochitlI I don't think I've ever rage quit. I'm more of a do it, like, put your head down. Do it. Even though you don't want to, and then quit later.00:07:01JackMm-hmm.00:07:08발표자 4Yeah, I'm a I'm a I'm a quiet quitter. I think there's another. Yeah.00:07:12XochitlI'm quite quitter too, Jack. That's a. That's another one. Our our uh listeners may not know quiet quitting is. Is something used nowadays? Refer to someone who starts doing the bare minimum or under the bare minimum of responsibility at a job in order to.00:07:31XochitlBasically.00:07:33XochitlKind of quit or get fired without having to quit.00:07:38JackYeah, it's a very passive aggressive, but but it's, but it's much easier than like facing the boss and telling them, you know, I hate this job. You know, it's it's when I worked in like.00:07:48JackA lot of.00:07:49JackLike customer service jobs, when I was young, you know, when I was in high school and college and you know, I would quite quit.00:07:58JackYou know, basically like mentally I'm. I'm done working.00:08:03JackSix months before I actually stopped working the job. So you know, I wasn't even doing any of the work anymore or just to just to barely enough to not get fired, you know?00:08:16XochitlYeah, I was quiet. I was quite quitting at the law firm I worked at when I first got out of college and my first job at college was at that law firm. I hated that job and definitely quite, but especially when I worked out how much I was making an hour.00:08:16JackJust enough to not get fired.00:08:32JackRight.00:08:34XochitlNo. No way was I gonna be sitting there working my **** off. It was just a no brainer. I quite quit immediately.00:08:42JackYeah, you gotta you gotta pay me the the the lowest amount legally possible. You're gonna get that level of effort from me. That that's it. Like how hard I try.00:08:51발표자 3Yes.00:08:54JackIs very much. Compares very much to how much you pay me. You know you wanna pay me 50 bucks an hour? I'll work my **** off, you know? So it's just capitalism folks, but yeah.00:09:01발표자 3Yep.00:09:10JackOK.00:09:11XochitlReally.00:09:12JackYeah, that. That's our last one for today.00:09:15XochitlOh great all.00:09:16XochitlRight. Well, if you guys have any questions about these or you have any?00:09:19XochitlQuestions about other new.00:09:20XochitlWords that you would like us to define for you, make sure to leave us a comment down below at A-Z englishpodcast.com shoot us an e-mail at AZ englishpodcast@gmail.com and join our WeChat WhatsApp groups to join the conversation.

In this episode of the A to Z English Podcast, Xochitl and Jack look at three words which were added to Webster's Dictionary in 2023.Transcript:00:00:01JackWelcome to the A-Z English podcast. My name is Jack and I'm here with my co-host social. And today we are stepping into the vocabulary spotlight and social. I have a list here of 24 new words that were recently added to Webster's Dictionary in 2023.00:00:23JackAnd I thought it would be kind of a fun be fun to kind of go through this list over the next several months and so maybe we'll do like 3 words per episode.00:00:36JackWord and the first word. I'm just gonna kind of test you and see if you know what the the meaning is beast mode.00:00:46XochitlOhh yeah, Beast mode is like.00:00:49XochitlOhh, I went beast mode on it. Like hulking out or like also doing like top of your game at something.00:00:59JackYeah. I I I see it a lot on like uh, because I.00:01:04XochitlGame forums.00:01:06JackYeah. Game forums. Yeah, in gaming and also in like fitness.00:01:11XochitlOh yeah, definitely.00:01:13JackYeah, like like someone would say like.00:01:16JackDid you have?00:01:16JackA good workout today. And you're like, yeah, I.00:01:18JackWent beast mode.00:01:21JackAnd it means they did like a very intense workout. Or I watch basketball highlights. I I love to watch, like NBA highlights and stuff like that. And sometimes the announcer will go whoa. LeBron James went beast mode on the other team or whatever.00:01:41JackAnd so it's kind of like.00:01:41XochitlMm-hmm.00:01:44JackGoing above and beyond the normal expectation to like a very intense and focused mode of being, I guess what about in gaming? What what it, what does, what does it mean in that respect?00:02:02XochitlUM beast mode? Yeah, I think it's just like it's the same as, like with athletics, I honestly think.00:02:08XochitlThat my generation sometimes sees like gaming as an extreme sport. Basically. Yeah, it is. And so it's like you have competitions and all this stuff. And and I think that it's basically it has the same exact meaning, but just applying it to gaming.00:02:13JackYeah, it is now.00:02:24JackYou're just killing.00:02:24JackA lot of people, and you're doing really, really well in the game and you, you're basically you're going to beat mode, yeah.00:02:29XochitlKilling it.00:02:30XochitlYeah, going beast mode.00:02:32JackYeah. OK. So there you go listeners, you can use Beast mode when you study English. Study real hard and go beast mode.00:02:43Jack#2 this one I have never heard before, but I'm curious if you have bracketology.00:02:53XochitlAcology.00:02:54JackBracketology yeah.00:02:57XochitlRocketown energy. I don't think I've ever. I haven't heard of it. I haven't heard of it.00:03:02JackYeah, this is for this.00:03:04JackIs for people who are like.00:03:04XochitlOhh I know what bracketology is. Ohh I do I do I just it just hit me. I remember all those YouTube videos that were trending in 2022 and 2023 where it would like put things into.00:03:16XochitlTo brackets, so do like a BCS level or whatever. Brackets yours kind of. Is that what we're talking about?00:03:25JackExactly. And it's.00:03:26JackIt's mostly comes from, like online gambling on sports or just people who love sports. So, you know, for example, there's a the college basketball NCAA Tournament, which is happens in March. They call it March Madness.00:03:45JackAnd people love to try to predict the outcomes of the of the games. And so bracketology is the practice or study of predicting outcomes of elimination in tournaments or competitions. So.00:04:04JackTechnology is the practice of that.00:04:07JackSo they, you know, I mean it, it didn't really need a name, you know, like filling out a bracket for trying to predict, which, you know, people will do it for the World Cup, for soccer and stuff like that too. But now it has a name. And so they call it bracketology.00:04:14JackMHM.00:04:27JackWhich is kind of interesting I think.00:04:29XochitlOK, I remember actually doing this.00:04:33XochitlIn Kentucky, like when I was growing up in high school during madness. Yeah. Yep. It's a big basketball state.00:04:35JackOhh big basketball state, yes.00:04:41XochitlDuring March Madness, which is like the kickoff of the basketball season, right, we would have these like paper like we would get these during school. They'd give us, like, uh, a paper with little brackets and you would put, like, the sports team, your sports teams or whatever on them they went.00:04:56JackYeah. And what? What did you did you go based on like, the colors of the jerseys or something like I?00:05:02JackWant blue wind and.00:05:02XochitlI could. I honestly think I was. I honestly think I just like.00:05:07XochitlI have no idea. I think I just spaced out or I would just like write down some random stuff and then spend the extra time that everyone else was doing. It was like drawing on the back of the paper.00:05:17JackRight, right. Right, right. Yeah.00:05:19JackIf you're not into sports, I I think bracketology is probably maybe the most boring thing, but the the fact that, like now sports gambling has been legalized in.00:05:31JackErica, I think a lot of people are really getting into, you know, brackets and sports and betting on games and things like that. And so because of gambling, I think that people are taking it much more seriously because there's money involved. Right? And so, so they've actually.00:05:48XochitlOh yeah.00:05:51JackGiving it a proper name. So there you go, listeners bracketology.00:05:58JackAnd our last one is chefs kiss.00:06:05XochitlOhh chef because I is is the one I'm definitely familiar with. It's like the if something's perfect, it's like ohh chefs kiss more and the person kisses their hand. Like when the chef makes a perfect meal. Yeah, that's kind of what it is.00:06:18JackYeah.00:06:22JackRight. Kissing the fingertips of your hand. Yeah. And it's like, yeah, you know, like, yeah, the chefs, chefs kiss with, like, you're, like, throwing a kiss kind of to the chef or celebrate.00:06:34XochitlYou know, to the perfection of the dish or whatever you created or whatever.00:06:38XochitlIs going on.00:06:39XochitlYeah.00:06:40발표자Yeah, I've. I've never, I've.00:06:42JackNever really liked this one. I do use it sometimes when I am teaching a class and you know it's Korean students and I tell them, like my favorite dish. I'll say something like, you know.00:06:58JackI don't know some kind of some kind of Korean dish, and I'll and I'll do the chefs kiss and to kind of emphasize how much I really love that dish and.00:07:11JackEverybody sees it's.00:07:12JackKind of a universal gesture, isn't it?00:07:15XochitlYeah, yeah, I think well, in the US, it certainly is. I don't know if it is other places. Uh, yeah.00:07:23JackYeah, my Korean students tend to understand when I do this, but.00:07:27XochitlOh, when you do this as kids. Oh, interesting. I think because of the propagation of U.S. media culture, like our movies are seen all over the world. And our TV shows are seen all over the world. So I think because of that, a lot of our gestures are like adopted.00:07:28JackYeah, yeah.00:07:41XochitlInto other cultures.00:07:42JackI totally agree.00:07:43JackWith you, I was thinking of like ratatouille or something like that.00:07:46XochitlYes, exactly. Ratatouille, I agree.00:07:50XochitlYeah, alright. Listen as well if you know what her chefs kiss is, make sure to leave a comment down below at A-Z englishpodcast.com shoot us an e-mail at AZ englishpodcast@gmail.com or join our WeChat once of groups to join the conversation. I would honestly love to hear if there is a similar gesture in your culture and I'll see you guys next time.

Spanning several different genres, here's ten more songs by ten more artists you may not know but we think you will enjoy. It's Somebody Else's Favorite Recent Musical Discoveries #2!

3 am whispered. A lamp in the corner normally illuminates a daylight LED bulb. But that's only in the daytime. During the quietness of the night, the daylight bulb gives way to a red bulb. Like a photographer's darkroom. Except I'm developing ideas, not film. Headphones are on. My Apple iTunes library is launched. I scroll through "Recently Added." Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers "Angel Dream" was released just days ago. I miss Tom. And the Heartbreakers. The ringtone on my phone is "You Wreck Me," proving my fondness for Tom's music. Hours are spent in the darkness of night with headphones on, listening to music. Track 3 of "Angel Dreams" fires up, Change The Locks.  I can relate to this song. More now than ever. I changed the lock on my front door So you can't see me anymore And you can't come inside my house And you can't lie down on my couch I changed the lock on my front door And I changed the number on my phone So you can't call me up at home And you can't say those things to me That make me fall down on my knees I changed the number on my phone 'Cause I changed the kind of car I drive So you can't see me when I go by And you can't chase me up the street And you can't knock me off of my feet I changed the kind of car I drive I changed the kind of clothes I wear So you can't find me anywhere You can't spot me in a crowd And you can't call my name out loud I changed the kind of clothes I wear It's 3:22 am when I begin to wonder - for the umpteenth time - whether or not my caffeinated drink mixes are contributing to my insomnia. I've been down this rabbit hole before. Many times. I consume about 120 milligrams daily. According to the FDA website that's not excessive. For healthy adults, the FDA has cited 400 milligrams a day—that's about four or five cups of coffee—as an amount not generally associated with dangerous, negative effects. However, there is wide variation in both how sensitive people are to the effects of caffeine and how fast they metabolize it (break it down). Doing some basic math with the help of a calculator that sits right by my mouse, I figure it's been many years since I consumed 400 milligrams or more. Dr. Pepper was once my drug of choice. Then Diet Dr. Pepper. Then Dr. Pepper Zero. I've got a handful of liter bottles in the pantry right now that have been there for months. Rarely do I venture away from a 38-ounce bottle of water with a single Crystal Light Strawberry drink mix inserted. I'm not sure caffeine is much of a player anymore, but here I am wide awake at 3:40 am wondering about it. Should I give it up completely? I wonder. But of all the things that might be keeping me up, I rather doubt caffeine is much of a contributor. It's more substantial than that I figure. As the clock approaches 4 am I'm on track 10 listening to Tom sing, "Climb That Hill."  You got to get up and climb that hill Get up and climb that hill You got to get up and climb that hill again Cares. It's an interesting term for life's problems. Cares. We ascribe caring to things positive. “People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care”  ― Theodore Roosevelt "He's a loser. He just doesn't care." "He could not care less." So the anti-sentiment is careless. Care. Less. We sure don't want to be that. Then modern culture admonishes us to stop caring what others think. Selfishness and self-centeredness are considered acts of courage. Disregard the voices in your life who attempt to help you. Don't listen to anybody other than yourself. Sure, you can do that, but it's a high-risk proposition. I'm all for tuning out people who aren't there to help us. People who simply want to throw rocks at our parade so they can feel better about themselves. People who are filled with only harsh, unjustified judgment. But these aren't the people who love us and want our very best. We really need to give an ear to these people and carefully (ther...

Full Transcript 3 is company and we were feeling Pretty, Pretty Good once we got the iOS14 downloaded and up and running on our various versions of the iPhone. Raqi and Jeff virtually High-5 each other and Serina just shrugs. With the new iOS full of features that extend beyond the reach of the iPhone 10, there was a lot to talk about and the Time Flies event was nearly the opposite. Kind of a lack luster event unless you were waiting for the new Apple Watch Series 6 or SE or an iPad in Sky Blue. Raqi, Serina and Jeff dig in and give their opinions and share some experiences with the iOS14 features. Jeff having beta tested for some time brought his unique perspective while Raqi dove deep into the Air Bud Pros, while Serina talked continuously about October. Hmm. Below is a list of topics covered in this deep dive into the Apple Orchard minus a few iPhone Apples. Hmm. Jeff gives a few demos, Voice Recognition and Precise and Approximate Location Settings.  iOS14: What iPhones get all the latest and greatest features? iPhone 10R and newer including the SE 2020 Accessibility VoiceOver Recognition On-device intelligence recognizes key elements displayed on your screen to add VoiceOver support for app and web experiences that don’t have accessibility support built in. Image descriptions VoiceOver reads complete-sentence descriptions of images and photos within apps and on the web. Text recognition VoiceOver speaks the text it identifies within images and photos. Screen recognition VoiceOver automatically detects interface controls to aid in navigating your apps, making them more accessible. Headphone Accommodations This new accessibility feature is designed to amplify soft sounds and adjust certain frequencies for an individual’s hearing, to help music, movies, phone calls, and podcasts sound more crisp and clear.12 Headphone Accommodations also supports Transparency mode on AirPods Pro, making quiet voices more audible and tuning the sounds of your environment to your hearing needs. Sound Recognition Sound Recognition uses on-device intelligence to notify users who might otherwise miss audible environmental alerts around them. On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, users receive a notification when a particular type of sound or alert, such as a fire alarm or doorbell, is detected. Back Tap Built to create a simple and easy way to trigger convenient tasks for those with accessibility needs. A quick double or triple tap on the back of your iPhone can be configured to trigger a number of actions, such as opening the Magnifier, or starting VoiceOver when your iPhone is in your pocket. It can even map to common system features such as Control Center, or accessibility-specific activities such as Switch Control actions.  Sign language prominence FaceTime can now detect when a participant is using sign language and make the person prominent in a Group FaceTime call. Widgets Add widgets to keep important information front and center.  Touch any app icon, then flick up until you hear, “edit mode”, and single-finger double tap  the Add Widget button located at the top left-hand corner of the screen. Choose a widget in the gallery, then choose a size. The smaller sizes take up less space  and provide less info as opposed to the large size. The space the widget takes up moves the overflo to the next page and not incorporating them into the next page that was previously there. Nice, as when you get rid of the widget, all springs back to normal. You can stack the widgets. Smart Stack Widget The Smart Stack shows you relevant information throughout the day — like the weather forecast or route to your next event. Choose Smart Stack from the widget list. You can edit what is in the smart stack by single-finger double tapping on the widget while in edit mode. Change order or delete a particular choice. App Library To see all your apps neatly categorized, 3-finger swipe left on the Home Screen until you see the App Library. It is the last page. Apps are sorted into groups, such as Recently Added and Social. At the top of the screen is a search bar. Each category will say how many apps are in the folder and the apps will be in an A-Z format. Reply to a specific message: In a group conversation in the messages app, you can single double tap a hold on any message and respond to that particular message. After single-finger double tapping, flick up or down to your desired option of copy, reply or respond with emoji like thumbs up. Pinning conversations: Up to 9 conversations  Group photos: Give your group conversation a visual identity by adding a photo or Memoji, or choose an emoji. Send audio messages: When you want to be more expressive in your messages, you can now easily send audio messages with Siri. Password monitoring: Safari securely monitors your saved passwords to ensure that they have not been compromised in a data breach. To do this, Safari uses strong cryptographic techniques to regularly check derivations of your passwords against a list of breached passwords in a secure and private way that doesn’t reveal your password information — even to Apple. Air Pod Pros  Spatial Audio Go to Bluetooth settings, swipe down to air pod pros, flick up to more info, and go down to  Spatial Audio. Bring surround sound where ever you go!
