following the herd

ive noticed a new verbiage used a lot lately. usually its young women that say it. you'll be talking to one of them and you say something emphatically and they agree with you but instead of saying, "oh i absolutely agree with you!" they say...

"i know, right??"

now, im ok with the "i know" part, but the "right??" part throws me.

what do you mean "right??", i said the goshdarned thing, of course i agree with what ive just said! its as though they have highjacked my emphatic idea and have claimed it as their own and now they want to know my opinion of their (really my) opinion.

its weird the way such things catch on. who started this absurdity anywho?

you know, right??

I've never specifically heard that, but what I think is really dumb too, is on the CB radio, these doofus truckers say "I heard that!", as if they are saying that they agree with you.

I personally NEVER listen to the CB going the road, but I'm tempted to get on, and the 1st time somebody says "I heard that!", reply back "OK, so you heard it, but did you UNDERSTAND it?!" LOL!
