per-FECT

"per-FECT"

"no problem"

"say less"

three common phrases and their translation.

1) "per-FECT" with an upswing is generally a recognized fluff word for the spaces in between on the part of your barista or cashier in between you paying by inserting or tapping your debit card and the end of the transaction.  should they need to help you with anything along the way, you know it will be "per-FECT" even if you did it completely wrong.

2) were you ever a problem in the first place?

3) say less is the new "heard" and means "i hear you, right on, i know what you mean, that's so cool" and doesn't actually mean they want you to say less, so not to worry, they are just keenly agreeing with you.
