crust

/kɹʌst/

When referring to bread, "crust" can be used as both a countable noun (e.g., "the crusts of the bread") and an uncountable noun. In geology, "the crust" always refers specifically to the outermost shell of a planet and is typically used with the definite article "the". As a verb, it often describes a natural process (like salt or ice forming) or a culinary technique.

Jackson uses the slang 'mid' to describe something mediocre or disappointing. Ryan responds with a dismissive, generic phrase ('damn that's crazy') typical of his oblivious and low-effort communication style.
