I was somewhere over 30 years old. I had moved out of my parents' house for the third and final time. I was housed in a 4-apartment strip complex next door to a 23-year old female. She's the first person I ever heard say, "Whatever," as a complete statement. I'd never heard that before, but I sort of liked that. Whatever. I'll use that later. That must be a part of the new young vocabulary. It was nearly a vivid moment, I remember where we were standing when she said that. On our shared front porch, actually. Whatever.
At some point my brother who is 9 years older than me, he retired on his own terms. His retirement goal, as stated beforehand, was to see if it's actually possible to play too much golf. He was on a driving range, hitting golf balls and destroyed a major tendon in his left foot. He was down for the count. He was in a walking cast for nearly a year. He and I don't talk a whole lot, but we were on the the phone and he was telling me about it. He said, "It is what it IS." That's the first time I'd ever heard that one, another vivid moment.
There's got to be more overused statements than those two.
