My best friend always said "No worries" (back in the 1980's).
He was from Maine and had a 'wicked' accent, so nothing was off the table, and he could pull off a mean Crocodile Dundee.
I don't hear it much, so it doesn't hit a raw nerve.
For me, it is a good thing, but I get how it could be misused.
My latest "loves"
Uptalk

...and a sea of uptaLK?!?!?!?
This is my favorite Connie Chung video- from 1994.
My office will be watching it soon. I'm from valley girl times. Uptalk- It's the new 29 year old pandemic in these parts of the woods.
Sad thing is, when this video was filmed, Connie Chung was making a mockery of uptalking. When she references Cindy Crawford, I can barely hear it.
These days- people speak more in line with Connie's then exaggerated mockery as if it was normal. The up got turned 'up'.
In conclusion- watch the beginning of the video and then fast forward to 2:50 minutes in for Connie's conclusion from 1994.
