Whatever!

How did this happen?

For the second consecutive year "whatever' topped a Marist poll as the most annoying word or phrase in the English language.

Actually, it was a perfectly useful and innocuous adjective. And then it morphed into an interjection... and swept the nation as a short form of "I couldn't care less about what you are saying".

So never
say "Whatever!"
unless you enjoy
your power to annoy.
