This word is commonly use as expression or gives a different meaning in how the individuals using it. Commonly it means screw you or it doesn't matter what you say, no matter what, anything as you say...whatever??? Sometimes it's irritating... a person is just trying to accept of what you say even he or she is disagree with it or doesn't believe of what you are saying only to end the discussion.

As a non-native, I kind of fascinated by this word... or at least that certain meaning. I don't know why, but it's so weird that you can tell so many things with this word with a certain stressing. I like its cheekiness.

I have heard this expression many times and have even used it a few time myself...it has been used in many ways..However the only thing that bothers me is if someone uses it every word. Now that annoying....other than that...whatever!!!!

I guess it entirely depends on the flow of your conversation. But in general the word whatever is commonly used in that way. For a person who is very analytical or sensitive that is irritating. But people just make it as an expression without understanding its meaning and how it will be interpreted by others. It's not good to have someone, who always wanted to end the discussion just to say his/her side.

The good old susy q, eternal spiral,the yellow brick road, all can be found in whatever. There is more to this than you think, just as : Who Cares? without the susy Q(?) it means the Owl gives a damn.
