00:06
I was just starting to get into it.
00:07
I mean, I still like it but the brands got to
00:10
it already. People are like it's over or what do you
00:15

00:26
a whole movement. Yeah,
00:28
it was a demure,
00:29
this demure that it got to celebrities and everything and that's why
00:34
I get people like once it got to a level like I

00:38

00:40
I mean we learned the word.
00:42
I mean I didn't even know what demure was before that.
00:44
It's funny cause I saw see some friends like what is
00:47

00:48
I have no idea.
00:49
I'm like, fam you got a lot of catching up to

00:54

00:56
Oh You didn't know about it.
00:58
Yeah, I found out through you guys that you guys,
01:00

01:09
the show. We gotta get Jewel.
01:10
I'm like, who is this person?
01:12
And then that's when I started,
01:13
I think I was the late bloomer brother on the train and
01:17
she's cool. Oh my God,
01:18
I like her. I would love to chill with her.
01:20
A whole vibe dude,
01:21
the whole vibe and I mean,
01:22
me and my wife are quoting the video around the house like
01:25
oh it's not very demure of you.
01:26
Very, very mindful.
01:30
So the brand's got it.
01:32
It is what it is.
01:33
But on the plus side,
01:34
like we were kind of saying is like we learned a new
01:36
word. Oh for sure.
01:37
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah,
01:38
definitely. Right. So I mean I never heard of demure
01:42
like I don't know that many big words.
01:43
Is that a big word?
01:44
Technically or it's French?
01:46
Is it French? I don't know.
01:48
I don't know. Oh my God.
01:50
But you know what?
01:50
We learned a new word.
01:51
We got some funny videos out of it but it got me
01:54
thinking, what's the next demure?
01:55
What's the next word?
01:57
That's gonna freaking take the internet by storm.
02:00
So we asked our coworkers here to see what their thoughts are
02:03
on the next demure gene.
02:05
What's your word? Mm I'm gonna go with Titter.
02:07
I think that's the next word up.
02:09
So titter means to give a short half suppressed laugh.
02:11
Like, huh? I let out my Twitter Joe.
02:15
What's your word? Quixotic?
02:17
What does it mean?
02:18
Impractical? Unrealistic. Can I hear it in a sentence?
02:21
Gene's quite quixotic when it comes two amount of babs you could
02:24
smoke in one month.
02:25
Hullabaloo. It's like a commotion or a fuss.
02:29
And I feel like it's a mentality and it should be adopted
02:32
Can you use it in a sentence?
02:34
Today? Was a Hullabaloo.
02:35
Well, what do you think?
02:36
Sister? Which of those words stuck out to you as an
02:38
ex brother? I mean my dirty ass titter titter.
02:42
What? So what is it like?
02:44
Little love? Yeah.
02:45
Do a titter like the like I like that because I do
02:48
that a lot. I mean,
02:49
I like gregarious. It's like very like it seems like
02:53
powerful but I think it means like la like funny,
02:56
right? Are like Greg's supposed to be funny if it's Greg
02:59
if their name is Greg,
03:00

03:01
Like maybe that is the,
03:02
