trendy speech amuses me. you know. one day you hear someone use a certain expression and you remark to yourself "hmm, i've not heard that before or lately." then the very next day, everyone and their sister's cousin is using the expression.
"groovy" "here's the thing" "sweet" "yolo" "dude"
the one that amuses me the most lately is how everyone prefaces an argument or statement they want you to hear with "Look."
when they really want you to listen, instead they say "look." and mostly they use it when they are certain they are right about something and they think you need to hear why. as in "look here, look at me so you can read my lips if you can't hear me, you idiot. my arguments about this issue are sliced bread with jam. and if you don't get it, well then you're dumber than you look."
look.
and then there is "the five yeahs." nobody just says "yes" or "uh-huh" anymore lately. they say "yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah." it's funny. i mean, i didn't ask you the question five times. you think your positive affirmation of what i ask warrants 5 answers?
i guess it's not so bad though. i mean, think how goofy it would be if the answer was "no" and everyone said "no-no, no-no, no" all the time.
wonder if that will be then next big thing?
