I was going for something between YMMW and "whatever you say." The slight tilt toward the latter was received poorly ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ It's just how I talk. Maybe it's generational.

Nah. It's just being a condescending dick.

To be fair, I didn't read it as condescending. This I understood it as a generic statement ender, like "idk" or "ymmv" or "i guess", i.e. something that you put at the end of a sentence when you don't know what more to say. Maybe it actually is generational?

If you really want to be that charitable.

Thanks that was my understanding too, but I hurt the boomers with "whatevs" lol

If it makes y'all feel better my gen alpha kid will hurt my feelings in different ways and get revenge for you =_=

Boomers?

There may be 80-year-olds on here, but younger people don't have to buy your lame excuse either. Learn something and move on.

Whatevs reply guy
