| 7. | Welp | ||
|
A word that was started on Facebook by Joe Berry (of Granite Bay) in 2007 and was originally geared as a subtle quote to the movie "Dumb and Dumber" as well as a joke to isolate the "P" sound that most people make when saying the word "Well." Since then, "welp" has now turned in to a huge Facebook phenomenon. There is rumors that Berry may be spreading it to Twitter as well, but only time will tell. Another side fact: Berry usually follows with the word "Montana" after a statement of "Welp." "Welp.....Just sitting in this chair.....Montana."
