Duh!
From "Chelsea," and the Ad Council, probably the most counter-productive Public Service Announcement of year 2012:
"...uh, my mom didn't go to college, so she wants me to find out what that whole thing is about."
(Duh.)
"...I think that to get into college, I'll have to be determined, like to get a good job."
(Duh.)
"...just like when I want to get a new trick."
(Duh.) "New trick?" That could be construed in a way that is quite unflattering to a 16 or 17 year old.
All in all, just the sort of speech pattern that doesn't positively impress prospective employers. Unless I'm way out of touch, and the "Valley Girl" vernacular is now America's official workplace dialect. Not to mention the fact that one's skating prowess isn't necessarily the most important credential in order to get a "good job."
But hey, at least the kid's wearing a helmet!
Duh!!!
