Two stories I found while farting around yahoo today makes me think that Mike Judge was a gall-durned optimist when he wrote
Idiocracy. First up, annoying
words idiots say. So where is, like, LIKE?
So, you know, it is what it is, but Americans are totally annoyed by the use of "whatever" in conversations.
The popular slacker term of indifference was found "most annoying in conversation" by 47 percent of Americans surveyed in a Marist College poll released Wednesday.
"Whatever" easily beat out "you know," which especially grated a quarter of respondents. The other annoying contenders were "anyway" (at 7 percent), "it is what it is" (11 percent) and "at the end of the day" (2 percent).
Like, what?
Then there's
this:Could birth control pills be taking human evolution in a whole new, and possibly detrimental, direction?
Watch the movie. It's like, spelled out clearly, and stuff.
