This morning I woke up to the delightful hacking---approaching dry heaving--of my incessantly smoking teenage neighbor. His testosterone-fueled, booming young voice came thundering through the walls as he carried on an agitated telephone conversation --something he spends most of his life doing. It went something like this: "Dude, I'm all dude...you better not *&^&ing do that now, because I'll $%^ing %$#ing dude dude. And then I'm all, dude...I have more friends than you'll ever have, and dude...I have 3 times the strength of that ^%$ing ^%hole, and then I'm all DUDE. But really dude, and then I'm all...dude."
So basically we have three or four 'words'" dude, I'm, all and *&^*ing. And we jumble them around repeatedly to create different sentences, which somehow create a conversation that the person on the other end can understand and respond to--probably with the same four words.
This discourages me. I'm all, I like people to at least try to form complete sentences. But then I'm all DUDE, my ex was a publisher and look where that got me. He could think of 150 different ways to slay me with his words. So now I'm all, well maybe this is what I should go for. I'm all, if that's what I'm destined for than maybe I can just hand him a dictionary and we can be like, you know, I'm all---friends, dude.
