My father had just died and I was out eating lunch by myself at the mall while I was looking for a dress for the funeral. The ******* walks up to my table and says "you need to smile. It can't be that bad. Don't worry, be happy"......................I lost it and screamed at him in the middle of the food court that my dad was dead and to mind his own effing business. I bet he didn't do that again for a while.

Even Queen Elizabeth uses "whatnot" it in her speech, along with "or whatever".

But just to be clear about the word, in *classic* English, a "whatnot" is a backless shelf.




You're not disagreeing with me but rather my buddy. LOL /emoticons/[email protected] 2x" width="20" height="20">
But...I disagree with what you say though, most of the people I hear saying "and whatnot" have no idea what they are saying and it's purely a habit of vernacular, are mostly thugs and are NOT speaking the queen's English.

Thats kind of a bummer because some of the phrases that some people listed are some of which I like to say....but oh well

I don't like it when people say, "it's the best thing ever since sliced bread." OKAY, since when was sliced bread so fascinating and innovative?

It's just whacky!
