but I really don't hear anybody using it.

So I'm gonna make this video and try to figure it out.

So what would you like to know about fleek today, Keith?

- This burger is fleek, or would I say this burger...

- Fleek came from a Vine, I'm not sure of a name,

but she said her eyebrows were on fleek, the fuck.

- Oh so it was first used and accepted as an eyebrow term.

my eyebrows probably would not be on fleek,

you know, mines need to be a little bit more groomed.

- [Keith] I still don't get it, so I head to San Francisco

from Berkeley to get their take on fleek.

Now they may look like two old white guys, but trust me,

they are, but they also know a ton about slang.

- Well, fleek's interesting because it just

bubbled up out of nowhere, in a way words didn't used to do,

I mean used to be slang would begin among high school kids

and kind of work its way around the school and maybe to

other kids of other generations and then bubble up

into the speech of older people, and by the time the older

people were using it the high school kids

- The whole point of slang is to keep your language secret.

- But now, you can make a video, or a Vine,

or something like that, a word catches on,

the link is passed all around, and you know two weeks later

- What do you think about how virality is playing

- Absolutely, I mean there are people who

and generally speaking, they'll submit something

and they'll put it in and say it's in the dictionary

and that's a great example, but the speed with which

slang is transmitted is exponentially faster now

than it ever has been because of social media.

- Fleek strikes me as the kind of word that everybody

except that one gal with her eyebrow used in quotes.

It was kind of a slang word that existed to be a slang word,

nobody ever really used it in earnest, did they?

- People are debating whether or not fleek is good or not,

we saw this with bae, you know what I mean,

like they're like, fleek is corny, why are you using that,

that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard,

I accept it, I'll use it if it's, you know, appropriate.

- I don't say it for everything, or I wouldn't

say it in a professional setting, except for this one.

- But, you know, you have to accept it into your life.

- So if I really want to accept fleek, I need to understand

I need to get my eyebrows done, or is it my eyebrows did?

I need to get my eyebrows on fleek, da fuck.
