My Life In South Carolina

I have a question.

Does anyone use the word “yep” anymore? I find I use it sometimes while texting someone, but that’s it. I never use it in everyday language.

I don’t think I know anyone that does either and I find that strange because I live in the south. We tend to shorten everyday language down here on a regular basis.

I just checked dictionary.com the origin of “yep dates to around 1830-40, and it means “yes.” in case you were wondering. It also list “yup” as an alternative if “yep” is not your thing. I’m willing to bet my life that I’ve never said “yup.”

Another thing “Yep” just looks better when written out. I’m just sayin’, that’s all

Something else that people do that really grinds my gears is that person who while you’re explaining something, or telling a story their head continuously nods and they say “right” after every sentence.

I always wanna poke them in the eye and say “Jeez dude, if you heard this one before, stop me! Though, I really don’t think you have because it just happened to me a few minutes ago, and I was the only one there.”

Oh, and they’ve shown up in classes that I’ve attended for my job. While the instructor is you know, instructing. There they are, nodding their heads the like a bobble head dog the whole time like the know the lecture by heart.

So, to all you head bobbers out there, remember you get on peoples nerves with your know it all attitudes. God, I hate you

Last night I mentioned I was watching “The Day the Earth Stood Still” and I’d give my opinion. I also said that I didn’t think it would break three on a scale of ten. I was right it was more like a two. Do yourself a favor and don’t waste your time.
