Hmm, honestly the word itself is uncommon now, at least where I live. I wonder if that's related.
To me, by default "welcome" means to a place. "You're welcome to the cookies" sounds archaic or British or something.

My sister noticed in 1995 that Americans almost universally reply to 'thank you' with 'uh huh.'
I can't not hear it when I visit now,
We're embarrassed that the little effort we managed to produce on this obviously good day of the depression cycle was worthy of thanks, so we're trying to scuttle away from what feels like praise.
I use yw all the time.
It depends on how I feel. 90% of the time I don't want sone one to feel obligated so no problem is my response. When its truely a favor I am helping with its your welcome. When i would have done it for my own sake I want to say "my pleasure" but mostly say "of course!".
Am I the only one who remembers "My pleasure" ?
why don't we add more useless sayings to this throaway conversation script?
thank you you're welcome thank you for welcoming me you're thanked as well welcome to my house allow me to vacuum your dick
I have just recently chosen to revive it. I'm not really sure why. I presume it's a matter of arbitrary fashion either way.
That's all I still use nowadays, I thought the others fell out of use.
