People Dislikes Whatever

A poll shows "whatever" is the most disliked word in America, followed awkwardly by a string of contenders "you know", "anyway", "it is what it is", "at the end of the day".

The reason for the hatred of "whatever" is that it connotes a sense of dismissiveness. Buddy, let's drop the word from your conversations from now on, unless you want to display a gallon of indifference.

Also take this idiom down by heart, though kinda out of favor, "six of one, half dozen of the other," 半斤八两 in Chinese.
