But instead of having a boring old regular conversation, Fallon decided to play a game called “Word Sneak” that required them to slip random words into the conversation as seamlessly as possible. As you can imagine, things got real silly real fast. Cranston does a pretty good job overall, aside from the fact that he apparently has no idea what the word “badonkadonk” means — slang for [female buttocks](http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=badonkadonk), in case you were wondering, too. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/89221/bryan-cranston-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/89221/bryan-cranston-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show/"},"headline":"Watch Bryan Cranston Try to Casually Slip \"Badonkadonk\" into a Conversation with Jimmy Fallon","datePublished":"2014-05-06T14:31:05.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:09:26.616Z","description":"It's part of a word game he played on The Tonight Show last night, but he doesn't seem to know what it means.","url":"https://time.com/89221/bryan-cranston-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show/","keywords":["Newsfeed","jimmy fallon","tonight show","breaking bad","Arts","The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon","celebrity","TV","Bryan Cranston"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Grossman","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/89221/bryan-cranston-jimmy-fallon-tonight-show/","name":"Watch Bryan Cranston Try to Casually Slip \"Badonkadonk\" into a Conversation with Jimmy Fallon"}}]}] ```
