"Whatever" is one of those terms that makes me see red when I hear it.
Do you know what "whatever" really means? It's a verbal avoidance.
It means, "I do not have the sufficient intelligence to participate in my
half of this conversation." It's an avoidance for actually saying, "I really don't
want to have to put any kind of effort or thought at all into a response."
I see red when I hear it.
And I can't believe how many of our allegedly "studious" and "hard-working"
college students in my town use that expression.
But I have already cried too many tears for our future....
