What did you say? (27)

I’ve been hired to write a dictionary of phrases and words that my peers and I often use. (So where’s the money?) Here are a few words that a person starts hearing over and over again at W.A.

Like - adv. : The universal gap-filler of teenage conversation. Can be inserted into almost any part of the sentence to substitute for harder-to-find words. “I was like…” “It’s like this…” “He like didn’t know what to like say…”

Dang-it : Euphemistic expression directly derived from a much stronger phrase. Used to express frustration. Not the best phrase as it sounds almost exactly like its unholy relative.

Cool - adj. : Common descriptive adjective used by almost every American teen that can be used to describe almost anything pleasing or satisfying.

Go Levi! : Not really sure how this phrase originated, but Marshall says it a lot. Overall, it seems to enhance the morale at W.A.

Teheheh, I like the last definition, the one about boosting the morale, and the one about "like", cuz it's like so cool! :P
