So, you know, eating salty pretzels. It does make my mouth dry and and kind of, you know, want to drink water. I do enjoy the taste of it. I I do enjoy it. 00:01:20 Xochitl How that would say because if you like the salty flavor of of the soup at someone's house, don't say wow, the soup is salty. You know that not. 00:01:28 Jack Right. 00:01:28 Jack And. 00:01:29 Xochitl Humble it use leaves me negatively, so just maybe the soup is delicious or something. 00:01:29 Jack I. 00:01:35 Jack Yeah, just say this is delicious. Don't say this is salty because if you say salty, it means that's just the that's that's a coded word for too salty. 00:01:45 Xochitl Yeah, has too much salt. Yeah. No, Jack, what is the other meaning of the word salty? 00:01:52 Jack Yeah, this one's a little more complicated. This is when we, a word we ascribe to people, right? So when someone is salty, it means they're being standoffish. Prickly, cantankerous. Yeah. I'm using all these words that no one's going to know. So they're not helping you guys at all. 00:02:04 Xochitl And and that. 00:02:12 Jack Grumpy, you know, like, you know, salty. 00:02:16 Xochitl Good word from SpongeBob. 00:02:18 Jack What's that? 00:02:19 Xochitl Like Squidward from SpongeBob? 00:02:21 Jack Yeah, like Squidward from from SpongeBob.

He's. 00:02:34 Jack Short tempered, he's you know when you ask him a question, he snaps back at you. It's not, you know, a a person that you would just sit and have a fun, casual conversation with. If someone is kind of salty, they're a little bit difficult to talk to, a little bit standoffish. 00:02:54 Jack It doesn't mean they're not nice, and it doesn't mean they're not helpful. It's just that their personality is they're they're kind of like a porcupine or a cactus. You know, they're prickly. 00:03:04 Xochitl Yeah, they're pretty. 00:03:06 Jack Yeah. 00:03:07 Xochitl Again, this isn't isn't really a neutral word, so don't describe someone as salty. If you mean well. 00:03:15 Xochitl It's not like an endearing term. It's kind. It's a negative term, so keep that in mind. But yeah, that is just all. 00:03:21 Jack It's a negative term, right?
