Knowing the Lingo
Ok I consider myself some what of a maven when it comes to popular culture, well I guess I need to get a lesson or two.
As mentioned before I was at a conference in Palm Springs and while traveling I met up with the studios (more about that later) in LA.
After my meeting with Warner Brothers Elizabeth (the sweetest of the bunch) invites me out with her and her friends for some drinks. SO we go out in her cute little Mini (wow those cars are big inside you need to experience it to believe it, I guess those commercials where someone is in the car and 5 other people come out of the car as well is not so outlandish). Well while telling a story that evening Lindsey is constantly telling me to "shut up" "shut up"and it's really pissing me off, finally I tell her "I will not shut up if you don't like the story tune out" so they all start to laugh at me (sweet of them) and they explain me that SHUT UP is a term used of disbelief not disrespect who knew (I guess I was the only one apparently). I knew "get out" from Seinfeld however "Shut up" not, well I guess we live and learn.
My observation is that as a marketer we need to be really with the times, if you really want to connect to the youngins. As we get older and smarter the world is changing much faster then we can imagine so how does one stay with the times, so much to read so much to see always changing. Is nick with Jessica is Tom with Katie is J lo with Ben or is he with what’s her name. I am not sure what the real answer is however what I do know is if someone tells you "shut up" don't
