whatever
whatever
used to be
just a word
choice
deferred, polite,
a way to say,
one conveys trust,
perhaps concern
when
we still cared about
other people, to say
‘whatever you need’
and really mean it…
I know…whatever…

That is a fun fact – I would have thought many other words could be more annoying but that one really is.

Haha! I do believe this is one of many annoying words these days!!! Or maybe I just have less patience now that I’m older! 😊

I like to make a point of reclaiming the language, such as “having a gay time”, or using dated terms such as “I care not a jot or a tittle”. I do get some strange looks, I wonder why?
