In a clip shared with Access Hollywood ahead of this Sunday's episode of The Baldwins, the 30 Rock alum, 66, receives lessons in "gen alpha slang" from his 11-year-old daughter Carmen. As the father-daughter duo sits together in a chair, Carmen recites various words to her dad, who then has to try to define them. “Hey y’all! Today we’re going to be doing my dad’s slang words, even though he is somebody who doesn’t really use that much Gen Alpha slang,” Carmen says. “Dad, what does ‘ick’ mean?” “Gross,” Baldwin says.

Alec Baldwin Shares How the 'Baggage' from His Divorce Affects the Way He Parents His Younger 7 Kids “Kind of. ‘Ick’ kind of means red flag,” explains Carmen. “What does ‘Sigma v. Beta’ mean?” “They’re numbers in the Greek alphabet. Alpha, beta…” says Alec, trailing off. “No. ‘Sigma’ means like good and ‘Beta’ means like bad,” Carmen scoffs. “This has been the most informative day of my life, by the way,” jokes Baldwin. “It’s amazing.” She then asks her dad to define "spill the tea," which he does know ("Tell us the truth!") and "cap," which Carmen describes as "such a frat boy word." “You pooped in your pants? You capped your pants?” jokes Baldwin. “No, it means lie,” Carmen says, laughing. She then asks him to define what "simp" means, saying that it's an "annoying word." “‘Simp’ means stupid, right?” Baldwin asks, prompting Carmen to roll her eyes and go, “No.” “It basically means if there’s a girl, you’re simping over her," explains Carmen. "My brother’s celebrity crush is Jenna Ortega. So Jenna? My brother loves ya." “Ship me to cap you, simp,” jokes Baldwin. “Does it work? No?” “You should know this one. What does ‘gyatt’ mean?” asks Carmen. “It means your giant butt,” responds Baldwin. “Exactly, it’s a big, bodacious gyatt,” says Carmen. "Alright, that’s exciting. Thank you so much. That’s been fantastic. Thank you so much, Carmen,” Baldwin says, clapping. The Baldwins airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on TLC. Close Leave a Comment
