My friend Jennifer tipped me off to the following artifact- I can see how this could be a problem at school. But I can't say I wouldn't giggle a little inside.
It can be innocent, too, as the kids may not even know what they are talking about. Coincidentally, my 7 y.o. daughter kept saying that last night after every comment my son made, no matter what the situaiton. Kids repeat things and not always know what they are saying. Jamie's example may or may not be one of those innocent examples. At least, that's what SHE said.
Daniel and I were in a meeting with Brad and he brought up the question as to whether he should mention a scene from The Office in a message. Daniel said that this is tough because someone might check out the show based on his reference and "you got to be careful about the innuendos the show uses". Brad responded, "like what" to which I responded, "that's what she said,"...to which Brad responded, "that's what who said about what." I gave Daniel a spontaneous high five and it was one of my top ten favorite staff moments. Apparently Brad doesn't know that this is one of Michael Scott's favorite phrases.
HILARIOUS! I'm sure glad adults can't get detention for this. I had to teach Justin how to use the phrase correctly. He likes to throw it out randomly, similar to the child mentioned a couple comments up. My husband the innocent!
It is definitely not cool to be throwing TWSS around at high school, especially with obviously clear understanding of the innuendo. Too savvy, yes. But, it is a pretty funny write-up.
hahaha! both my students who are "problem" students and my high achieving SAT students say this all the time. and while i do try to kabosh it, they all see my initial giggle and my scolding hold not that much weight.

Considering "That's what she said" is my favorite line, I have no good comment!

Oh yes, and thanks for explaining it to me. ;)
