Hollywood star Sandra Bullock and television host Jimmy Fallon recently found themselves decoding the latest slang used by their children, with Bullock revealing her fondness for the term “chud” while Fallon introduced the seemingly unfamiliar word “leng”.
During Bullock’s appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, Fallon said he had started using “unc”, a term commonly associated with an older person.
Bullock responded that she preferred “chud”, saying she could easily use it in everyday conversation and joking that her children still reacted when she used the term.
Fallon then introduced another word, “leng”, leaving Bullock confused about its meaning.
Explaining the term, Fallon claimed that “leng” could be used to describe someone who is good-looking. He gave the example of calling someone “leng” when referring to their appearance.
However, Fallon later admitted that he might have invented the expression himself. He joked that people would soon be saying Bullock was “so leng”, before acknowledging that it was not actually a real slang term.
The conversation was shared with a caption describing Bullock and Fallon as dissecting “unc”, “chud”, “leng” and other slang terms being used by their children.
Bullock, who was named the world’s highest-paid actress in 2010 and 2014, began her acting career with a minor role in the 1987 thriller Hangmen. She gained wider recognition with Demolition Man in 1993 and shot to international fame with the 1994 action thriller Speed.
She subsequently starred in films including While You Were Sleeping, A Time to Kill, Hope Floats, Miss Congeniality, Two Weeks Notice, The Proposal, The Heat, Ocean’s 8 and The Lost City. Her acclaimed dramatic performances have included Crash and The Unforgivable, while she has also appeared in thrillers such as Premonition and Bird Box.
Bullock is the mother of two adopted children, Louis and Laila, whom she has raised as a single parent. She was previously married to Jesse James and later had a long-term relationship with photographer Bryan Randall, who died in 2023.
