Conversate is a made up word. The word is "converse"

The local Culver's has recently adopted that reply. Car dealership phone girls too.
"You're welcome" must be too genuine.

Personally I'd call that an Extended cab since it's not a full crew cab.

Then there's this

You and me both!

I just say "Pickup" or "Extended Cab" or "Crew Cab".

The youngsters who have to be gansta say "Single Cab" or "Double Cab". I look at them like they're wearing diapers and just shat theyself, haha.

[KFC911]

I always say "please" and "thank you" .... think I'll add "well bless your heart" when I get the "no problem, no worries, my pleasure"....

Instead of mentioning the horse they rode in on

I had the pleasure of Conversating with a really hip young gangsta about this.

I make it Immago. Like "Immago to the store. Yuneed anything?

[cabmandone]

Oh and I live in a weird part of the world where we add a "S" to the end of store names. We have "Chief Supermarket". Everyone I know calls it "Chiefs". Menards and Lowes understood this and just took care of the problem for us!

I try to speak relatively correctly, but having been birthed in the big mitten up there, it'll always be "MeijerS" darn it. I'll die on that hill.

A few colleagues get so tweaked at the use of non-words that I throw them out casually just to see him turn red. I wouldn't do it in a professional context but around the coffee pot? It's on...

Yup! Didn't know that was a thing up there too! I'm guilty AH of adding the extra S. Meijers is probably one of my worst.

I gave up on speaking correctly. I just tell people "I'm from Ohio".

I was very surprised to hear it out of a school teacher online the most recent time.

It the new dumbed down ghetto generation's slang. Just yell 23 skeedoo and look at their faces.

[wildthing]

At Starbucks or some restaurant these days... "Hi, welcome in!" What happened to welcome? Or come in?

[cabmandone]

When you think about it, all words are "made up". They get used, become part of the vernacular and are generally accepted. I think Stephanie pointed out earlier that conversate is in Webster.

Jury rigged means a temporary fix using what is available on-hand. Usually demonstrates craftiness.

Jerry built means it's built badly. There was a guy that lived on the Thames a couple hundred years ago that built stuff so badly this expression was created.

So, Jerry rigged morphed from both but still means built poorly but it's ok to use the term since it's been used for over 100 years.

And 100 years is as old as 23 skidoo which means get the eff outta here.

Ain't Converse a brand of sneekers?

Creek is pronounced "crick."
