    Default What does this sentence mean?

    "I haven't talked to you in forever".
    Could you please tell me what the sentence above means? Thank you.

    Where did you find this?

    It is the same as saying, "I haven't talked to you in ages." - it is so long since we have talked, it feels like an eternity, forever.

    However, I haven't seen this version before. Is this teenager-supercool talk?
    Sounds like something out of Grease! Haven't seen you in, like, forever, man. = becomes Haven't seen you in forever.

    I have heard teenagers using "I havn't talked to you since forever."
    As for the meaning, as Ronbee says, it means "in/for a long time."
