Any idea what language that was?

No idea on the language, but the second kid's response seems to show how rapidly an unintended 'cutesy' name can spread through the conversational language ( 'Boaty McBoatface' - familiar to anyone here ? )

I have a good friend and former co-worker whose two sons have been building those things since they were younger than fifteen. It amazes me what a kid can do with a little encouragement and guidance.

I guess “That thing is slap!” is passé.

Guaranteed that once 'teen speak' goes mainstream, they no longer use it.
I always thought the fastest route to getting rid of the jeans hanging down to the crotch, was for a bunch of old guys - like us - to adopt the style.

Built to a high standard. Impressive ( Perhaps imagining Cathedral and using poetic license)
Have you guys heard that "lit" replaced, " cool?" How about, " Sleep on?"
That song is so lit, people are sleeping on it.

In the 1980s (note: 40 years ago) there was a public service ad shown after Sesame Street etc that featured a kid named Shorty McShortShort.No idea on the language, but the second kid's response seems to show how rapidly an unintended 'cutesy' name can spread through the conversational language ( 'Boaty McBoatface' - familiar to anyone here ? )

Quebecois has a lot of euphemisms for obscenities and profanities using liturgical terms.

When I was working on my first boat with the shop door open, a 20-something garbage man came up the driveway to collect our bin.
“Are you building that?” he asked. “Dude, that is phat!”
“Beamy.” I corrected.

When I was a teenager "bad" was good, very good

At that age, being a landlocked skateboard fanatic without actually having surfed, I nevertheless adopted California beachboy slang: amped, aggro, airtime, stoked, gnarly, hella, gripped, bags, bail, bitchin', bomb, chunder, ding, heavy, locked, maxed, pumped, rad, ripped, sicko, tubular, wipe, zeroed.
