Whatever (slang) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Whatever (slang)
''Whatever'' is a slang term meaning "whatever you say" and "I don't care what you say". The term is used to dismiss a previous statement and express indifference and is usually considered offensive and impolite. In the late 20th century and early 21st century, the word became a sentence in its own right; in effect an interjection, it is used as a passive-aggressive conversational blocking tool, leaving the responder without a convincing retort. ==History== Early examples of current usage include a 1965 episode of ''Bewitched'' in which the character Endora exclaims "Alright, whatever" to her daughter, lead character Samantha Stevens, and also the much maligned 1965 sitcom ''My Mother the Car'', in which "whatever" was the standard retort used by Captain Manzini (Avery Schreiber) whenever he would mispronounce "Crabtree" (Jerry Van Dyke), the car's owner (son). 〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Character Quotes: Endora (see Episode 2.1, 'Alias Darrin Stevens') )〕
