Per

Have I been living under a rock, while everyone else runs around in the sunshine shouting, "per?"

As in, that shirt is percool.

Please, tell me, have you used "per" in place of "very?" As my brother tells me, I'm no longer cool, but it seems that if this really were in use, I would have heard it somewhere. Has it been used on Gilmore Girls (my source for cutting edge references), but just went over my head?!

Apart from the fact that ppl here speak a different language..."cool" or "super" bears a sort of logic, linguisticswise, but "per"? "Per" as in what? "Per proxy"? "Per procuration"?

Please do not adapt this crap...whoever coined this was either a total loser or a very desperate trend setter wannabe. Hm, makes about the same, doesn't it.

well, if anis thinks it's cool (must be anis, right? not naysan?), then i think i may have to start using it. i usually use super instead like "shokufeh is supercute" but now i see i must change my ways.

Hmmm... never heard that one. I'm a middle school teacher and I'd like to think that I've heard it all, but then I hear a new one and I realize that I'm not with it as much as I think I am. :-) I'll listen for per- that's a new one! If you find out how it's used, do tell!

I've heard it, but I didn't know exactly WHAT I was hearing until you just blogged about it.

Can you remember the way it was used, Mojan?
Just to clear things up, Anis does not think it is a cool word (at least to my knowledge). Anis does not think I'm cool. As in, he thinks I'm uncool.
I'm glad that it's not a word being bantered about, as it seems that it would be annoying.
