In one of Leslie's videos, she is talking about the benefits of fitness. She says you'll be a better mother, a better wife, a few other things. She says you'll be a better...whatever.
I found it amusing because in today's lingo, or maybe it's yesterday's now (by my age you find the decades running together) "whatever" means more like "I don't care." "Get a life!"
Well, I guess what it really means it that you'll be better at getting a life. And she doesn't really care; it's a video, right? But I care, and my husband cares. In fact he is walking with me on the days we can schedule it together.
You are right...that word has changed over the years. When I initially read the beginning of your post, my mind translated it with sarcasm, "Whatever."
