Have you noticed that everybody is using the word PERFECT to respond to waaaaay too many questions,statements..etc..? This is really annoying..it seems as if it is the auto-response.. even for something like "I will have the pancakes and coffee please" (server response).. PERFECT! arrrrrgh!!!!!!! How about.. " ok ".. and then there is the reeeeeally annoying version done with a "valley girlish tone" "May I have an onion bagel please?" response- PERRRRRRRRFECT.. two things..
1- STOP IT!!
1- Please explain this..
thaaaaaanks... :)

    It's not "normal to respond to every statement with perfect".

    It IS normal for trends in language to emerge and certain responses to become more popular than others. Just look at your suggestion as an alternative response - 'OK'. Don't you think when 'OK' became popular, some people were saying "Have you noticed everybody is using the word OK to respond to loads of questions, statements etc.?"
    How are you? OK
    Do you want to go out? OK
    How did last night go? OK
    I will have the pancakes and coffee. OK

    See? Some colloquialisms are a little annoying and certain expressions can be irritating, but that's all part of the fluid nature of language. Just have to grit your teeth and deal with it.

    I think of the word perfect in a more sarcastic way.

    As in: "Oh I noticed you sat down on the toilet and are currently taking a huge smelly shit, just wanted to inform you we have no toilet paper or paper towels or anything in the house."

    ...Perfect.

    Just be thankful you're not one of the Yoruba speakers of West Africa. Their word for "perfect" is "pipe".

    You: I'll have pancakes, please.
    Them: Pipe.

    You: Everything okay with you?
    Them: Pipe.

    You: I noticed your drainage pipes are really perfect. What's your opinion on your pipes?
    Them: Pipe.

    "Purrfect" is what you mean. Are you sure that you haven't been talking to Eartha Kit's clones this whole time?

    I shat on your car while you had the sun roof open.

    Is it PERFECT NOW?

    YOU SLAG.

    I dont think I ever heard this kind of response but I guess it might help if we had some context.

    Jeez. They're just trying to be friendly. There are plenty of words in the English language that no longer mean what they initially meant, like awesome or miraculous...

    Where I come from, we only say perfect when it's done perfectly. Or at least close enough.
