Markham's Lilly Singh, ofSuperwoman YouTube fame, and Toronto rapper Kanwar Singh, who goes by Humble the Poet, use the Punjabi slang term, 'leh' - which expresses general disdain or disapproval (the equivalent of 'pfft') - to call out today's youth in their appropriately named YouTube video, #Leh.

In the video, which has garnered more than 1 million hits since it was first posted to YouTube on Tuesday, the pair mimic the extravagance of the stereotypical rap music video, as they poke fun of the ridiculous complaints of some of the unknowingly spoiled Generation Y.

"Drive around in your mama's car? Leh. Photo shoots at the gym? Leh. Flexing all your muscles when you take a pic," Kanwar chimes in.
