Language is an ever-evolving thing, and the Tonight Show is here to help you keep up.
Jimmy Fallon offered some helpful updated definitions on words dealing with everything from Justin Bieber’s new hair color to the problems of Secret Santa gifts.
“Auld Land Syne,” for example, used to be known as a song “often sung on New Years Eve.” Fallon updated it to this long-overdue definition: “A song everyone pretends they know the words to.”
“Snail mail” may once have been “an archaic form of correspondence using letters hand-written onto paper,” but now it’s “How Sony employees will communicate from now on.”
And while “prison” at one time had something to do with dungeons and cages, we now know it to be “Your parents’ house on Christmas weekend.”
