or pick me energy okay now pick me think of uh

of a try hard okay somebody who's maybe they're they're they're more about getting attention

and attention seeking than they are being genuine in themselves

so you don't want to be a pick me okay you

don't want to be a pick me don't want to be okay kind of an insult oh

that girl's a pick me or that guy's a pick me

but that's not because they're smart

and they raise their hands in class no no different different okay

so give us an example of a pick uh

so just kind of being loud and obnoxious maybe just to try and get get attention or draw things to themselves.

Yeah, that would be an example of a pick me.

She's realizing she was a pick me girl.

I was a pick me too.

I'm worried I was a pick me person.

And I just want to apologize to all my middle school teachers.

My whole life is a movie.

There's a story.

There's struggle.

There's obstacles cold and I've got to choose my own story.

I've got to make my own story.

So if there's something challenging or risky, I just got to send it.

I'm going to do it for the plot.

So like, it's like a new version of YOLO.

So like, you only live once.

Like, yeah, it's kind of that I'm right on the edge of doing something risky or something challenging.

And I'm going to hype myself up by saying, you know, for the plot, I'm going to use that for the plot.

I'm going to use the memories for the story.

Okay.

What's the last one?

We'd like to do more, but what's the last w in the chat okay

that are scrolling on a live stream is called the chat

somebody does something good in the chat they send a big

gift to the live streamer okay it's like oh w in

the chat means hype somebody up okay it leaves live stream culture

and now it is in the real world somebody does something hypeable

and they're going to be like w in the chat drake went viral on a on a live video

and now they say it very specific way i'm going to

say it the way they say it they say w in the chat.

They try to make a dub out with their fingers and it just means hype this guy up.

The other word that we're not gonna get to but is the one that we're done with, well, mid.

शैडोइंग तकनीक क्या है?

शैडोइंग (Shadowing) एक विज्ञान-समर्थित भाषा सीखने की तकनीक है जो मूल रूप से पेशेवर दुभाषिया प्रशिक्षण के लिए विकसित की गई थी। विधि सरल लेकिन शक्तिशाली है: आप मूल अंग्रेज़ी ऑडियो सुनते हैं और तुरंत इसे ज़ोर से दोहराते हैं — जैसे वक्ता की छाया 1-2 सेकंड की देरी से। शोध से पता चलता है कि यह उच्चारण सटीकता, स्वर, लय, जुड़ी हुई ध्वनियाँ, सुनने की समझ और बोलने की प्रवाहशीलता में काफ़ी सुधार करता है।
