"Feeling some type of way"
I know it seems like I'm harping on figures of speech lately... but does anyone have any inkling what's going on with this? Where did it come from?
At first I thought it was just some kind of thing synonymous with "I think I'm in love" or something, i.e., "Got me feelin' some kind of way," but that doesn't appear to always be the case. I was speaking to a friend just the other day who was describing to me why he had to, essentially, snitch out someone at work who was talking bad about the boss when his boss was family. "He got me feelin' some kinda way, you know?" Up until this year, this is nothing I've ever heard him say. What's the story with this?

I don't think there is an exact 'feeling' associated with it, more-so a feeling that can't quite be described or just don't want to put words to. I've seen it more often used for a weird/off/mildly negative/etc kind of feeling, though sometimes positive.
I probably started hearing this phrase more than a decade ago. |

Never quite heard it put that way. But sounds like someone is having some conflicting feelings over "snitching" and loyalty towards family. Reminds me of when people say gave me the "feels." Or however it goes. It's like they recognize a feeling. But can't name it for whatever reason. Tough situation, good luck to your friend.

I've never heard this particular turn of phrase.

I'm curious where it started though. The first place I was probably seeing it was from at least a couple Native folks on a forum and that was as early as Spring 2004. Two of them were a Lakota married couple in South Dakota. Maybe the phrase is originally from that state/region? Unless the Lakota started it themselves. (Though it wasn't just that couple I'd seen use it. Seemed more mid-west in general.)

Slang comes and goes. Up until last month, I'd never heard anyone use "salty" to describe someone. Now its all I hear.

"Look at him over there. He still salty." "Don't be all salty. I know you miss me."

I was watching some Clint Eastwood movie from the 70s and he referred to some criminal types as 'salty looking dudes'. I took it to mean they looked like rough customers.

Instead of saying people are, "annoyed," or "irritated" or even "butt-hurt" now we have....."salty." |

"Salty" isn't even new. I've heard it used quite regularly around the early 2000s up until people started using "treated" and "owned."

Back then it was, "OWNED," "You got Served" "PWNED!" and:
"WE ROXXXXOR YOUR BOXXXORS!" I was in High School in the early 2000's, I remember it all clearly. |

I actually read it for the first time on a Juggalo board and figured it was part of their verbiage (such as "fresh" and "stale" equate to "cool" and "lame", respectively.) Then I saw it everywhere. Then I heard it everywhere.
Can't wait for this to go the way of the YOLO. |

I've always wondered about "looking at someone sideways".
