3 in 4 Boomers Don’t Know What “Delulu” Means; Sunny Workplace’s New AI Translator Decodes It

National Poll Ranks The Gen Z Words That Baffle Boomers And Vice Versa, And Marks The Launch Of Workgen Translate, That’s Like Google Translate For The Office

DALLAS, July 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — “Delulu,” “rizz” and “no cap” are the Gen Z expressions that most baffle Boomer colleagues, according to a new poll to mark National Intern Day (July 30) and the launch of a lighthearted AI tool that works like Google Translate for the workplace.

Three-quarters of Boomer workers (76%) “have no idea” what “delulu” means, Gen Z-speak for being unrealistic or kidding yourself, reveals the independent national poll of 2,004 U.S. workers conducted by Censuswide for Sunny Workplace, an employee engagement and modern teambuilding platform. Half were Gen Z, half Boomers.

Sunny Workplace commissioned the survey to mark the launch of WorkGen Translate, a playful new AI translation tool devised to bridge the generational language gap at work, because sometimes “no cap,” “mid” and “let’s circle back” all need subtitles.

Users paste an email, Slack or Teams message into WorkGen Translate, which renders it in the everyday language of whichever generation they select. A Gen Z colleague’s “no cap, this meeting was mid” translated for Boomers, for example, becomes, “This meeting was rather unremarkable.”

The poll also reveals that 66% of Boomers have no idea what “rizz” (natural charm or charisma) means, while 61% say the same of “no cap” (honestly/no lie).

“If colleagues came with subtitles, a lot of workplace friction would disappear overnight,” says occupational psychologist Dr. Iain Smith, Head of Behavioral Science at Sunny Workplace.

And it works both ways. The poll also asked Gen Z workers about their knowledge of common phrases used by more experienced colleagues.

The phrase that most baffles them is “boil the ocean,” meaning to attempt something unnecessarily complicated or impossible. Only 22% say they know exactly what it means, while over half (53%) are unfamiliar with it.

“Blue-sky thinking,” creative brainstorming without practical limits, also stumps them, with just a quarter (25%) knowing exactly what it means.

“A language gap can look just like an attitude problem, even when it isn’t one,” says Dr. Smith. “A colleague who sounds blunt to one generation may sound clear and efficient to another.”

The findings echo a wider pattern the same research uncovered: four in five Gen Z workers (80%) say generational differences in workplace language are a challenge, nearly three times the rate among Boomers (30%). Over half of Gen Z (51%) find this happens “always” or “often,” compared with just 9% of Boomers.

It doesn’t stop there. Gen Z, the generation that spent years making everyone else feel old with its slang, is now getting a taste of its own medicine.

The same poll finds Gen Alpha terms like “Ohio,” “Fanum tax” and “mewing” are leaving Gen Z workers just as stumped as Boomers once were: 41% of Gen Z don’t know what “Ohio” means, while three-quarters (75%) don’t fully understand or wouldn’t use “skibidi.” Boomers fare worse still, with 89% unfamiliar with both “Ohio” and “Fanum tax.”

“For years, Gen Z had everyone else Googling what their slang meant,” says Dr. Smith. “Now Gen Alpha has arrived with a dictionary of its own, and Gen Z is the one trying to keep up.”

Sunny Workplace stresses the tool is lighthearted, designed for fun and the occasional “Ohhh, that’s what they meant” moment, NOT for anything important, sensitive or business-critical.

The findings land against a backdrop of real workplace strain. Poor workplace communication already costs U.S. businesses an estimated $1.2 trillion a year, according to a 2022 study by Harris Poll for Grammarly.

Gallup says U.S. employee engagement dropped from 36% in 2020 to 31% in 2025, citing frustration over basic workplace needs such as clearer communication and respect.

Alongside hybrid work and AI, multigenerational teams are reshaping how colleagues communicate, and Sunny Workplace’s research suggests generational language gaps could be contributing.

“The best teams don’t need everyone to speak the same way,” says Dr. Smith. “But they do need everyone to understand what others are trying to say.”

The partnership brings Egnyte’s secure content platform and Mili’s AI agents together, so advice firms can deliver more comprehensive, personalized advice at scale.

SUNNYVALE, Calif., Oct. 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Mili, an AI platform for wealth management firms, and Egnyte, a leader in secure content collaboration, intelligence, and governance, today announced a partnership that brings Mili’s AI agents to client documents in Egnyte. Advisors work from a file or a whole client folder alongside data from the firm’s CRM, portfolio and planning systems, under each advisor’s Egnyte permissions.

Kitces Research finds that reviewing client documents is the most common way advisors use AI. Its productivity research puts a new financial plan at 15 to 40 hours of team time.

Advisors use Mili’s agents to model the tax cost of moving a client’s accounts into the firm’s strategy, weigh a rebalance against unrealized gains, summarize a bonus agreement and build a financial snapshot from a statement. The agents link answers to their sources and flag what an analysis may still need.

David Ringler, Managing Director at Onyx Bridge Wealth Group ($1.6B+ AUM), said, “Egnyte and Mili are two valuable pieces of technology in our stack, and bringing them together has changed how our practice runs. Mili’s meeting prep and planning agents have become significantly better with Egnyte data behind them.”

Chirag Gandhi, Co-Founder and CEO of Mili, said, “How many clients an advice firm can serve well has long been capped. It is set by the work of understanding each client’s financial life. Agentic AI is changing that, helping advice firms uplift client capacity by accelerating the delivery of high-quality advice.”

Kyle Blair, Director of Global Financial Services at Egnyte, said, “Egnyte helps financial services firms accelerate critical business operations by turning document-heavy tasks into faster, connected, and revenue-generating workflows. Our partnership enables Mili’s AI agents to securely access and work on customer data within Egnyte for better business outcomes.”

The integration is live for mutual customers. Building on Mili’s work with hundreds of advice firms, it aims to put a firm’s full client knowledge into its advice.
