Whatever device

1. Single line of dialogue used by bad filmmakers to fix shabby plot lines and major holes in storytelling. Name comes from fictional movie producer in the movie "Thank you for Smoking"

protagonist: "Cigarettes in space? wouldn't they explode in an all oxygen environment?"

producer: "That is a problem... But that's an easy fix, one line of dialogue; 'Thank God we invented the... you know... Whatever... device.'"

2. Any device, contraption, machine, character, or group of characters inserted into a film or tv show for no other reason than to cover up a major storytelling problem. A band-aid on a gaping wound of suckery.

3. An early warning sign that a movie or tv show blows goats, or may be a turd factory.
Guy 1:"Hey, I missed the end of Star Trek:First Contact, how did the ship get away from Earth without being detected by the Vulcans?"

Guy 2:"Whatever device..."

Guy 1:"Oh, well that's disappointing but not surprising."

whatever

A phrase used often by Squall, the main character of Final Fantasy VIII because he either doesn't care, doesn't know what to say, or because he simply doesn't want to replay with a "yes". Incidentally, I am the exact same way

Selphie: "Hey Squall! Join the garden committee!!!!"
Squall: "..."
Selphie: "Come on, don't ignore me! Please join!"
Squall: "whatever"

Squall: "..."
Me: "..."

Me: "..."
Squall and Me: "...whatever..."
