The 80-year-old filmmaker gets schooled on internet slang by his Gen Z daughter in a viral TikTok.

The five-minute video, titled “Dad Guesses Slang” and sporting a high-pitched audio effect, shows the 80-year-old auteur trying to decipher various terms. He seems to have a firm grasp on some—“spilling the tea,” the elder Scorsese surmises, “that means you’re gonna tell all you know.” Someone giving you the “ick” in relationships implies that “you were thoroughly repulsed by it.” But other phrases elude the filmmaker, including the definition of a “sneaky link.

“It was the flop of the year. That’s what it was called on Entertainment Tonight, New Year’s Eve, ’83 to ’84. It’s okay; it’s alright.” This isn’t the first time the Oscar winner has graced his daughter’s TikTok. In July, the recent NYU graduate posted a fan cam video of her father, referring to him as a “certified silly goose.” Last November, the duo did the “I have a flea in my hand” trend to more than 2 million views.
