I've decided to start ending every sentence in an upward inflection. It seems to work for all the Kardashian offspring; I mean, their fame and fortune isn't based off any recognizable talent or intelligence so it must be the iconic way they end each and every statement as though they're asking a particularity perplexing question.
My Mum and I actually tried it last night. After watching an episode of the "Big Bang Theory" (which I don't feel ashamed for watching as it actually does contain a fair dose of wit) a preview/ad for "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" (god, save me; I'd much rather not) aired, in which one of the "K" girls intoned her concerns about her sister having questions about her paternity. I listened, with rapt attention and with no small measure of wonder as she deftly butchered the English language in less than 15 seconds. It was astounding! Every single sentence, each of which was a declarative statement, ended like this?
Like she wasn't really sure what she was saying?
Because, like, talking is really hard?
It would be, like, so much easier if she could just, like, text it?
...Yeah; it was that bad.
However, I find, if I completely empty my mind, it's much easier to achieve this linguistic effect. Which doesn't say much for the "K" sisters.
This is written in a fit of pique; as I sit and ponder the question of life, the universe and everything and why the hell these vacuous minded, Barbie alternatives have the following that they do. What have they done? What do they do? What is it that society so desperately needs that they seem to have endless supplies of? I am honestly perplexed!
Can someone, like, answer that question for me? Because, I, like, totally don't understand?
The Kardashians are famous for being famous. They don't make things, they are things...
ReplyDeleteI think we need our own reality show--Bookworms--the show about the drama of owning your own bookstore in a small town. I think we could make it, especially if that one creepy dude comes in during filming...then we could be famous AND use proper English!
I think that would be awesome! Actually, I really want to host a podcast: The Book Worm: After Hours, where the conversation is rarely about books. We could get into some seriously fantastic trouble with it! ;)
