Do people say this anymore?

Question

Like if someone says something and you agree with it you "second" it. Like "I second what liz just said".. I dont know I say it sometimes I dont want to sound like a geek. (Im 18)

Answer 1

Yeah you still hear it. But at your age, you're more likely to hear "word" or "for real" or "I know, right" or some other jargon. But then again, everyone has their "thing". That can be yours.

Answer 2

Yeah it's no big deal. I have said it before but not that much and I hear other people say it sometimes. Usually people tend to say it in a joking manner. At least that is what I have noticed.

Answer 3

Yes, some people do, and you won't sound like a geek by saying it either.

Answer 4

Yea your not a geek. Its something thats okay to say.

Answer 5

I hear it sometimes. Then I'm 38, and most of my circle of friends are in their 20's & 30's, not sure about younger folks using it.

Answer 6

Yea, it probably is a little different in your age group. But, congratulations on being mature enough to recognize "Roberts Rules of Order."

Answer 7

I just say that i agree..
i don't know anyone who says they "second" it..
kinda sounds like a congress thing though :P

Answer 8

If you say anything too much, it can become your catch phrase. It's not irritating to me, but there are somethings that people say that kinda make me cringe...like when people use the German term for "over all" ...UBBER (oo-ber) that is soooooo geeky and so related to Nazi propaganda I can just puke.

Answer 9

uh...well i say it, but i'm a little older than you. if i were you, i'd say something like, "totally" or "i hear that" or "for sure" or "true that" or why don't you just go generic and say "i agree"

Answer 10

i havent heard that in a while, but i wouldnt think you were a dork. unless you said it all the time, then i def would
