Subject: She's All



I've enjoyed the informal surveys concerning current usage, so I decided

to do one of my own.



A couple of years ago, my daughter (now a junior in high school) and her

friends started using the phrase "s/he's all" to mean "s/he says" or "s/he

said," when reporting a dialog. For example, an incident might go

something like this:



He's all, "Would you like to go?"

And she's all, "I'll have to check my schedule."

And he's all, "Let me know, okay?"



Interestingly enough, my two older children have never seemed to acquire

this usage.



Have any of you heard this?
