Today we're going to look at some slang phrases from both past and present, a couple of these I'd never heard. "I'll be a monkey's uncle!" comes from the 1930s and is a reference to Darwin's theory of human evolution. "Jive Turkey" is from the 1970s African-American vernacular meaning someone deceitful. We all know at least one jive turkey. Bae, from the 2010s meaning significant other has two possible origins, a short form of babe or baby, the second possibility is it's an acronym for, "before anyone else". Lastly "no cap" from the 2020s meaning the speaker is being honest.
