Wern [intrj]:
1. A linguistic place-holder sometimes used to indicate general agreement.
2. A generally agreeable greeting [syn. 'Hello']
Derivation: Originally the name of a fictional inbred character invented by a friend of this poster and said to inhabit the swamps of Louisiana in a running inside joke about people who inhabit the swamps of Louisiana. Later transformed into a satire of the then-popular misuse of the word "word."
Example [as a greeting] "Wern up, home dawg!"

You know, he's moving to Seattle soon. All the more reason for you to do the same. -

Lewis college, and is in two or three bands right now, one of which actually makes a little money, and he is getting married to a lovely woman from Japan who I had pleasure of watching down $45 worth of sushi one day for lunch. It was inspiring. He and ashe are planning to move out here... sometime soon.
