This book excerpt about the constant (insidious?) creeping of popular culture speak into the everyday vernacular was interesting, but more interesting perhaps is the comment one person makes about "hasn't it always been thus?"
Got me thinking. What words do I use from my own pop culture background that aren't so popular anymore?
"Whatever"
"Excellent"
"It's just a little thing"
"Talk to the hand".
Wow. More than I thought, and that was just based on a quick 30 second brainstorm.
Doe that make me more accessible or do I just sound dumb? Is this all a devolution of the English language or just another step forward in its constant mutation and evolution?
