How about:

"it's, like ..." "he's, like ..." "she's, like ..."

You hardly ever hear "He said he loves it." - you hear "he's, like, he loves it ..."

(Remember "Valley Speak?")

Come to think of it - remember when we used to say "Does anyone have a ...?" instead of "Anyone have a ...?".

We had kids start using the word ratchet a few years ago to mean that something was bad, not bad good but rather bad bad.

I have to admit in text type conversations I use np that way, have probably since text became the way so many business customers communicate problems/requests themselves. Wasn't really a made decision, just following their patterns.

I have used it for a long time. My usage depends on whom I am addressing, if it is an intimate I will probably say "no problem" if an acquaintance or stranger I will say "you're welcome."

Same time, as when your eating dinner at a restaurant and the waitress say, "What do you "guys" like for drinks?" Really gets the wife's nerve. I usually say "your welcome", but if you are in my garage for something that can be used on a project, once "thanks" are said, I'll return with "no problem".

I'm partial to "you're welcome." Can't stand it now that EVERYONE says "thank you so much" (even after being thanked themselves).

Same here. Waiter hands me the menu. Telling him "Thank you so much" seems a bit of overkill, eh?

And recently a waiter said "thank you so very much." Oh please.
