NOT isnt from 1993, its a common language thingy dating back centuries
in some languages.
German uses it for sure, (nicht), thats where I learned it in the
1970's. Im sure other languages do too, it's English
usage was trendy for a while but the purpose hasnt changed, its a
just a negation to a statment.
I am referring to the practice of sarcastically agreeing with someone's
statement and then taking it back with a loud, extra-sarcastic "NOT!" It
was very popular in the mid-nineties, when I was a teen, and I have yet to
hear of it being used quite as extensively during any other time period.
I do not mean to imply that my generation is proud of that little
catch-phrase (if it can be called that), but rather that your usage of it
makes you appear quite juvenile.
