NEW YORK (Reuters) - Do you want to kill a conversation? Try saying "whatever."

Words like "you know" and "like" might be irritating to hear, but for the third year in a row, it's "whatever" that holds the most power to annoy, according to an annual survey by the Marist College Institute for Public Opinion.

Nearly four in ten adults named "whatever" as the most annoying verbal filler in casual conversation, while one in five adults had similar disdain for "like" and 'you know."

"Just sayin'" and "seriously" were more forgiving to the ears, though still quite irritating, Marist found.

The telephone survey of 1,026 adults nationally had a margin of error of three percentage points.

I sent my best buddy from high school an e-mail explaining that 9/11 was an inside job.
He came back with, "yeah, right."

I told my mother in law that our government was our greatest enemy.
She came back with, "whatever."

I gave my father in law a DVD.
He said he would have to call the FBI if he took it.
I said, "yeah right... whatever."

He said he would have to call the FBI if he took it. I said, "yeah right... whatever."

imo you should have said "you want the number?"

If your in-laws are like that, how does their daughter put up with you? ;)
