Martin Scorsese is trending in the headlines after being featured in a TikTok video shared by his daughter Francesca.

According to Newsweek, Francesca asked Martin to guess the meaning of a few slang words that are common in today's world. The words included "tea," "ick," and "hits different," which he was able to guess correctly without thinking much.

Variety states that the director was stuck on the word "slept on" until Francesca gave a clue, which was Martin's film, The King of Comedy. Martin addressed the film's commercial failure and said:

"It was the flop of the year. That's what it was called on 'Entertainment Tonight.' On New Year's Eve '83-'84. It's okay, it's alright."

The rest of the words where Martin made correct guesses include "cap," "ate," "threw shade," and "slaps." The video has received more than 600,000 views.
