    I literally only heard of it last week. Was it really that big of a trend to be considered the word of the year?

          I’m a terminally online loser who spends way too much time looking at memes. This one has been around for at least 3 months.

            Only young people think middle age is old. I figure I’ve got another 20 until I really start falling apart.

    some say it can be interpreted as another way of saying “so-so,” “maybe this” or “maybe that,” the dictionary states.

    pronounced “six-seven” and never “sixty-seven,” the dictionary notes

    Right, kick ass. Well, don’t want to sound like a dick or nothin’, but, ah… it says on your chart that you’re fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit’s all retarded. What I’d do, is just like… like… you know, like, you know what I mean, like…

    My friends will continue to intentionally and enthusiastically mis-use all the kid-pidgin as a form of sarcastic performance art, as it has so far achieved the main goal of embarrassing their two girls into never using any of it. They speak like people, instead of vapid 'gram zombies; at least at home.

      Speak to your kids like little adults and their speech and vocabulary explodes. They also sense the respect that many adults don’t give them. I loathe adults that talk down to children.

        My friend has a toddler and I always spoke to her like a regular person who just happened to not know things. She seemed to respect it a lot.

          Yes! Treat them as ignorant, not stupid. Asked my ex-wife why kids like me when I’m don’t like them so much. “You talk to them like real people. They get that.”

    A non-sensical and ambivalent word gets into the dictionary. If that is the case then release the jibber jabber for all! Who needs to communicate when we have our governments to tell us what to do and think!! /s
