W is for Whatever

I hate this phrase.  I catch myself saying it sometimes.  I hate it even more for creeping inexorably into my vocabulary.  It's dismissive.  It's used like the Hitler corollary, to end an argument when you can't think of anything to add or sway your opponent.  You might as well just slap someone, it's about the same thing.

But that's how I feel today.  Like the whole world can just go whatever.
