I'm getting tired of hearing literally used

And I thought "dis" meant "disrespect". Now, something I really do not like is the way "he dissed him or that" means "he levied disrespect" toward something. . . .

When I first heard "diss" used in that sense, I thought it a contraction of the verb "disparage." Eventually I came to realize nobody under 40 would know that word, certainly not in the, shall we say, less-affluent areas of our cities.

"Disrespect" is a noun, not a verb. You "show disrespect," you "show respect" or "respect something." YOu don't "disrespect somebody."

No, I don't know because: 1. I am not a mind reader, 2. you haven't made a complete, structured sentence, 3. nor have you placed the discussion in any context.


Na mean?

Nome sane?

Why wouldn't you be honest?


"Let me be frank."

"Okay, and I'll be 'George.' Now what did you want to say, 'Frank'?"

I'd like to add the recent trend of starting a sentence with 'So' ("So, I have literally a million things to do today"). During the Juno insertion orbit last month, I heard at least two different JPL scientists do this repeatedly - so it's not a habit of only uneducated people (did I just do it?)).
