some men see
things as they are
and ask why.
i dream things
that never were
and say whatever.
*this is, of course, a paraphrase of sorts of the G. B. Shaw quote, "Some men see things as they are and ask why. I dream things that never were and ask why not."

In the context that it is used today....yes it is. (whatever)
It's not just the word, it's how its said. Cute piece.
not so much "whatever" as "whatEVAH" :) [tho I guess that's another way of saying what Jim said]
Whatever...annoying and powerful.
Char - thank you for the comment - I find that I use it myself at work. It was there that I conceived this little number.
Jim - thanks - I wish I knew how to do italics on a blog - because you're right it's how it's said.
willow - definitely italics or whatEVAH something along those lines. Thank you.
Erik - thank you. It seemed like such an inappropriate word to be at the end of such a lofty, shavian sentiment.
Thanks everyone - glad you liked it.
A brief HTML lesson then.
Go to your post and click on the Edit Html tab, find the word, or part of a word that you want to italicise, and wrap it in the following code: <i> before the word and </i> after the word.
For example: if you type in the following:
what<i>ever</i>
this is what will appear onscreen
whatever
Basically you're turning italics on and then turning them off. This is how most HTML codes work.
Okay?
Jim - wow - thank you so much. . . . thank you thank you thank you thank you thank you. I never knew.
