Those of you who know me know that I lived in Japan for 10 years starting in my late teens. Because of this, I seem to have “missed” certain chunks of American “culture” along the way. Perhaps some of you can answer these questions:

• When did people stop saying “I said” and start saying “I was like…?” Even worse is “I was all like…” [ugh]
• Why do some morons say “my bad” when the proper response is “I’m sorry?”
• Why do ass-clowns say “no problem” when they mean “you’re welcome?”
• And what the fuck is up with question speak? “I have this, like, friend? In California…?” Do you? Are you asking me? How the hell would I know?

Does anyone know the answers?
