Learning To Talk Right

People use such strange words to express themselves. It is as if we have to learn a code on nothingness to be able to speak. It keeps me confused.



Isn’t that NEAT?
Oh, I’m sorry, nowadays it is COOL.
Things were COOL in beatnik days
And then they became NEAT.
Look at the FELLER over there.
Oh, you mean he’s a DUDE.
What do they call the city guys on a ranch?
How do I start a sentence these days?
You’re telling me I must begin with I MEAN?
I thought that was to explain what I said rather than a lead in.
I MEAN, I have something new to say.
Well, YOU KNOW.
If I knew, you wouldn’t have to tell me.
LIKE before I tell you what it’s like.
I’m not sure I’m getting this.
Just is a good word to include all the time, too.
I JUST want to thank you.
It’s not enough to want to thank you
I have to JUST want to thank you.
I must do this RIGHT NOW.
If I’m saying now, why do I have to tell you it is NOW?
So let me see if I got this right?
Like, I mean
You know
It just seems so cool
totally
To talk to that dude
Right now
Do I have it now?
EXACTLY!

appreciate the clever usage here...kind of a "who's on first" scene...and when they start abreviating words i.e. text message...eeks LOL
