A quick scroll through social media is often enough to leave many people puzzled by words they have never heard before. Internet slang evolves at a pace that can be difficult to keep up with, and terms that seem completely normal to younger users can sound like an entirely different language to others.That gap was on full display in a recent video featuring Zerodha co-founder and CEO Nithin Kamath. What began as a casual workplace conversation soon turned into a friendly test of Gen Z vocabulary, sparking reactions online and opening up a familiar discussion about how different generations communicate.The clip, shared by Gowri Bhat Gandotra from Rainmatter by Zerodha, has caught the attention of social media users who saw a bit of their own workplace experiences reflected in the exchange.A conversation about age takes an unexpected turnThe interaction starts with a simple question.When Gowri asks Kamath whether he belongs to the millennial generation, he responds, “I'm 46.”She jokingly calls him a “boomer boss” before correcting herself and identifying him as Gen X. The conversation quickly moves from generational labels to something many younger internet users know well: online slang.The first challenge: What exactly is ‘rizz’?Gowri begins the quiz with the word “rizz.” Asked what it means when someone has “a lot of rizz,” Kamath admits he does not know the answer. Gowri then explains that the term refers to charisma, a word that has become increasingly common in online conversations.‘Simp’ leaves the Zerodha CEO guessingThe next term proves equally challenging.When presented with the word “simp,” Kamath guesses that it might be related to being “simple.” Gowri then explains that it is used to describe someone who shows excessive admiration or attention towards another person, often in a romantic context.As the quiz progresses, it becomes clear that keeping up with internet language can be a challenge even for people who spend much of their day online.A phrase that causes even more confusionThe conversation then shifts to the phrase “clock it.”Using a hand gesture to demonstrate its meaning, Gowri explains that the phrase is used when someone notices or correctly points out something important.Kamath appears unconvinced and slightly confused even after the explanation, leading to one of the funniest moments in the interaction.One answer finally gets a thumbs upThe final word on the list is “slay.”This time, Kamath gets it right. The term is commonly used as praise for someone who has done something particularly well or looks impressive.After the short quiz wraps up, Gowri jokingly sums up his performance by saying, “You got 1 out of 4, so not bad.”Why viewers connected with the videoThe clip quickly drew reactions online, with many users saying the interaction felt genuine and familiar.Several people pointed out that similar conversations happen regularly in offices where employees from different generations work together. While younger workers often pick up new phrases from social media, older colleagues may not always be familiar with the latest internet trends.Others appreciated Kamath's candid responses and willingness to laugh along with the quiz. Rather than focusing on whether he got the answers right, many viewers saw the exchange as a light-hearted reminder of how language continues to evolve and how workplaces are increasingly becoming spaces where different generations learn from one another.Disclaimer: This article is based on a video circulating on social media and user-generated content.
