slumry commented on the word not atall
not at all--a response to "thanks"--a manly way of saying it, in my experience ;-)

uselessness commented on the word not atall
An uppity Britishesque (and thoroughly nonsensical) way of saying it, in my experience. :-P

slumry commented on the word not atall
The people I heard say it were neither British nor uppity. I take it to mean "oh, it's no bother," "no big deal," "think nothing of it." These were the same people who said much obliged instead of thank you.

And apparently also a westernism.

Funny...around this area, some people say "Don't be silly" when they mean this. As in: "Hey, thanks for doing that for me." "Oh, don't be silly. It was my pleasure."

No, reesetee, they really do think you're silly. And they want you to stop.
