Has anyone else noticed

[hau kola]

That people, especially teenagers, don`t say yes anymore? Instead they say yeah yeah, or even yeah yeah yeah.

[beejay1124]

Aye

[WhiteBear]

yup!!

[mushroom25]

have you also noticed that the verb "to say" has been replaced by "to be like"
as in "I'm like", "he's like", "I was like", etc

[cab]

sure x

[tigerlily11]

'Init' is the weird one of the moment.

[hau kola]

Yes mushroom, working in a school, i noticed that one long ago. Its gets right on my tripe.lol

[WhiteBear]

me like it too :) xx

[wiffey]

Nah it's cool. So cool that people will even go to the cool trouble of typing NAH rather than NO. Trace it out on the keyboard - cool, or pseud?

[hau kola]

Tigerlily, our very own Knobby owns that one.lol

[cruella]

Another one hau kola.
They tend to say "oh, whatever" all the time.

[logic]

yeah.

[Sachs]

Yeah, but nah, it's never worried me. Hi hau xxx

[logic]

ya know worra mean like.

[cazzz1975]

well "no" looks quite curt whereas "nah" is more relaxed and less blunt

[hau kola]

Hi sachs, how ya doin?

[Sachs]

I'm o.k hau. Emailed Al before. Has she moved yet? x

[puss_boots]

You should watch Jeremy Kyle, if you want to learn the depths the English language has sunk to then this is the place. Can't think of anything specific just now but one that springs to mind is "yeh whatever".

[hau kola]

I`m sure she has sachs, yes.

and understands him ....
