    I work from home. If my 14 year old daughter is in the house, you can guarantee the most common word will be either 'why?' or 'whatever'. ('WHy', I can handle with a simple "because I'm your father and I say so"; 'Whatever', which is really shorthand for " I don't care" is the one that really cracks me up.)

    Not made up - it's from an old US comedy called Mork and Mindy with Robin Williams and Pam Dawber.

    "maybe" can be heard pretty often. Everybody wants to leave an option to get out of the comment...
