I hate how my colleagues kowtow to the undergrads. We're always trying to "meet them where they're at," instead of requiring them to come and find us. I'll admit I chuckled at this video a bit though, even though I do not care to understand their generation's slang, or the next, or the next.
The really scary thing is that, with the possible exception of the several gray-haired white dudes, I'm pretty sure that I'm older than any of the old-enough-to-be-portrayed- as-out-of-it faculty portrayed on this video, many of whom look quite young to me (and chances are very good that I'm more or less the same age as the gray-haired dudes).
