BERP

Berp (b [ir] p)- noun - adjective - preposition - whatever you want - meaning is not important - when and how it is used is.

Most often berp is shortened to simply "ber" leaving the p to more sophisticated situations.

Ber can be used to sum up a sentence as in:

I am going to do that whether you like it or not. So Ber. (stern ber)

Or it can be used to make an agreement solidified:

John: Wanna go to the store?
Jane: Yes!
John: Ber. (confidant ber)

Maybe it is as way to convey sorrow, or sadness or sympathy.

Tom: My cat died yesterday
Ethel: Berrrrr (note the elongated "r". Very important in the conveyance of sympathy)

In extreme cases ber can be used as conversation on both sides often with gestures.

Jack: Ber? (questioning ber. holding up an apple - intent of ber - "wanna piece?")
Diane: Ber. (solid and short - abrupt, if you will - intent of ber - "no!")
Jack: Ber! (higher pitched and squeaky - intent of ber - "Whatever!"
