I've noticed certain popular trends surrounding the ending of sentences. So I wanted to present a few sentence endings -- beyond the ole full-stop-or-ellipsis dichotomy -- for your kind consideration.
, bitches
As in, "My spoodle-wool coat rocks, bitches!" Variations include "byatches" and simply "bee-atch."
, you moron
Said under one's breath, this ending is at once subtle and damning. Its dulcet intonation allows it to go by almost unnoticed -- almost! -- which makes it perfect for whiteanting the pathologically paranoid.
, Chief
Inspired by the Chief himself, this is a playful way to simultaneously end a sentence and make a new friend. Right, Chief?
[verb] this!
Handily takes the last verb your correspondent used, and thereby shows that you're attentive and you regard them as an impediment to your happiness and/or progress.
well, whatthefuckever.
Handy for imparting a sense of the devil-may-care to your dialogue. What's that? You spell it "dialog"? Yeah, I knew that, but, well, whatthefuckever.
Kanpai!
Severely underrated. This ending is perfect for those long days in the office where 3pm signals happy hour:
"So, Bob, did you prepare that Board report?"
"I sure did, Chief."
"But this is a page with five unfinished games of hangman on it."
"Yeah, but I bet you can do something great with it, Phil. Kanpai!"
Anyway, and blah blah.
Especially good for use in written correspondence when you can't be bothered writing all the things you want to say, but there are many, and although they would be communicated in an instant, through body language and eye contact, were you in your correspondent's presence, their elucidation would take up entire paragraphs of a written document. This ending must be used judiciously -- the uninitiated would likely mistake it for "well, whatthefuckever" -- but the initiated would be able to read into it all the necessary thoughts and feelings. My goal is to find someone with whom I may finish correspondence in this way.
Anyway, and blah blah.
