I actually kinda like thatMy kids have a term tha bugs me, 'versing.' As in 'who are the Nationals versing this week?' Or 'I'm versing Niko on the FIFA game on the Xbox.' It's in the kids in their school. Can't stop it.

Actually. As in the surprising version of actually. I've surprised myself that I like that silly ####Actually or literally?I actually kinda like thatMy kids have a term tha bugs me, 'versing.'

Should have put a wink, I was jokingly referring to how everyone seems to say "I've literally been loving that since the dawn of time!!!"Actually. As in the surprising version of actually.

My sister says, "Does that makes sense?" after making very simple comments."You know what I'm saying" or "You know what I mean".
Yes, I'm conscious and I understand the English language.
So our kid is 3 months old...so not saying it yet. Any tips for preventing this? I've never heard of this until today, and I'd like to stop it.Yes, "versing" has taken over and there's no turning back. We had a whole thread about it a while ago.
Don't let him interact with any other kids. Move to nowhere Alaska. Move to a non-English speaking country. That's all I got.So our kid is 3 months old...so not saying it yet.

She ain't got no chill thoSo I have two that come from my SIL's.
The older one says "literally," ALL the time, so I'm in with Mr. Ected on that one.
The younger one does this thing on Facebook...she ends sentences with the word "though." She'll post a picture of our 3-month old (her nephew) and say, "That face though." Or she'll post a picture of a good meal and say, "This dinner though." I've started responding "though what? What about that dinner?" She just gets confused.
When everybody started versing each other, and one combatant or another was sure to be beasting, I jettisoned all social media and doubled down on hard liquor. I intend to spend my golden years in a curmudgeonly haze.Yes, "versing" has taken over and there's no turning back. We had a whole thread about it a while ago.

Is this how our parents felt??
This thread makes me want to cheer for Ebola."Well, actually..."
that means- "you're wrong, here's why"... even when there isn't any right or wrong in the specific conversation. My least favorite two word combo in the English language. And one my brother and his kids use to preface just about every sentence they've ever said.
you with me or against me?This thread makes me want to cheer for Ebola."Well, actually..."

This happens constantly at work with my two colleagues from China. Most of the time all shes are hes, but they will correct it immediately, almost unconsciously.My wife is Asian and always uses he/she incorrectly - it appears there is no he/she in spoken Mandarin. Drives me crazy when she starts talking about a woman and then hits me with a "so he said...".
They all say it and it drives me up a wall. Where did it come from? Is it going to be in dictionary in ten years?So our kid is 3 months old...so not saying it yet. Any tips for preventing this?

:shuked:So your would ask someone "What board on Mario can you get to?" That's dumb.And while we're here, it's a "board" not a "level."

Yep. "What world on Mario can you get to?" is also acceptable phrasing.:shuked:So your would ask someone "What board on Mario can you get to?" That's dumb.And while we're here, it's a "board" not a "level."

Is she in sales? That is standard speak for salespeople. I want to punch my colleagues in the face when they pull that #### in general conversations. I would bet teachers use that phrase a lot as well.My sister says, "Does that makes sense?" after making very simple comments."You know what I'm saying" or "You know what I mean".
Yes, I'm conscious and I understand the English language.
I notice that a lot of them get it from their game schedules (soccer, baseball, etc.). The schedule will read: Tigers vs. Lions. So, they think the verb is "to verse."They all say it and it drives me up a wall. Where did it come from?

There's a song (Dre Day?) where that's the first thing Dr Dre says. You haven't said anything yet."You know what I'm saying" or "You know what I mean".
Yes, I'm conscious and I understand the English language.
Wait... so this is real?I notice that a lot of them get it from their game schedules (soccer, baseball, etc.). The schedule will read: Tigers vs. Lions.

no. not. never.Versing is universal now.
I like it. Sure it's a made up word, but everything was at some point, and this one makes total sense.
Yes, I hear it all the time (I coach all my kids' teams). "Who are we versing today?"

kids are saying they are going to verse another team in some sport? I thought this was some Mr Ham rap-battle thing.
When I hear it, I think if the groups of kids circling around screaming poetry at each other.Versing is universal now.

My kids do it too and I found it charmingI actually kinda like thatMy kids have a term tha bugs me, 'versing.' As in 'who are the Nationals versing this week?' Or 'I'm versing Niko on the FIFA game on the Xbox.' It's in the kids in their school. Can't stop it.
I was flipping through Sirius channels on a long drive and listened to some of Ed Lover's show on Backspin (old school rap). He had some guy on (don't know who), who said "know what I'm sayin'" literally every other sentence. I swear he said it 15 times in a minute.My problem with "you know what I'm saying" is that people tend to say it instead of completing their thought, so you have to guess what they're saying instead of them just saying what they're saying
1990 is back , yoMy kids say it too. I found it really odd, butOveruse of 'literally.'
My kids have a term tha bugs me, 'versing.' As in 'who are the Nationals versing this week?' Or 'I'm versing Niko on the FIFA game on the Xbox.' It's in the kids in their school. Can't stop it.Another one: ending a sentence in 'yo'. My 5yr old, god help me, has been saying it lately. I told him to knock it off and he asked why. I said "because you sound stupid when you talk like that". "oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh Daddy said a bad word!!"
