Millennial Masquerading As Gen Z Gives Self Away With Borat Quote

Zander McLeod (34) thought he was pulling off the ultimate act of deception by wearing Salamons and saying “gyatt” in hopes of passing himself off as a Gen Zer, rather than the millennial he actually was.

However, not even a Sonny Angel could save the senior art director when he accidentally let slip a ‘very nice’ after sipping a preservative free skin contact natural wine while at work lunch.

For many, the comment reads as an appropriate response to a nice glass of wine, but for a millennial it is read in the voice of controversial Kazakh television journalist, Borat.

It’s believed McLeod’s Gen Z colleagues immediately stopped eating their shared burrata and beetroot ceviche, and stared at McLeod with a mix of betrayal and disgust welling in their eyes.

Speaking with The Advocate shortly after the incident, McLeod chastised himself for the foolish slip up, saying he’s thrown away years of work.

“I don’t know where it came from.. I.. it.. I had no control”

Sacha Baron Cohen’s, Borat, was a formative film for many millennials, at its peak “very nice”, “naaat”, and “wa wa wee waa” could be heard parrotted all over the world.

When asked why he was so desperate to fit in with a generation who was basically recycling every trend from his childhood, McLeod admitted maybe he was being a bit desperate.

“I think I was just trying to stay cool and young.. But isn’t it cooler to just.. Be yourself”

More to come.
