People in conversations, and count how many times someone says "Do you feel me" or "You know what I'm saying". I wish those would go like the man in and go away.
So what's the phrase(s) you are just sick of hearing ?
| I like me myself | 3 | |
| ME TOO, list one or 2 you are just sick of hearing | 5 | |
| Eh, I just tune them out. | 7 |
This exact question was literally posted a few weeks ago, feel me? We need new questions not rehashes, gnomesayin?
Absolutley!
Along the same lines as "you know what I am saying" is "does that make sense?
Words and phrases go through phases.
But I absolutely feel the frustration when all you hear is the same word over and over. It absolutely loses meaning.
I recently went on a rant about that word because a coworker overused it and another picked it up. Absolutely every email from work had the word absolutely in it. It was awful. I could no longer tell who the email was actually from. I use the word too, and it has its place, but they need a thesaurus.
Do ya feel me?
That's true, and we live in an age of hyperbole with the greatest, most stable and intelligent hyperbolist in literally the entire history of the universe literally constantly twittering away from the White House (or, more often, one of his unsurpassedly amazing golf resorts).
Still, the fact remains that hyperbole is as lazy as using multiple exclamation marks.
Just shitty internet words like bae or kray or ending sentences with "doe" for no reason
What do you mean "go like the man in and go away." Did people say "man in" where you're from, or do you mean "man"? (Genuinely not trying to be facetious if you mean man, I'm just confused.)
Over here it’s the fashion to end every other sentence with “you know what I mean, yeah”, as you say I have tuned it out.
I'm guilty of saying "you know what I'm saying" I catch myself doing it a lot. I must sound like a ghetto rapper sometimes.
I'm not saying drop it out of conversations, but I was watching educational tv, you know, Jerry Springer. To listen to the "guests" talk its " you know what I'm saying like every 15-20 seconds or at least 2x'sa minute.
But that's absolutely nothing new.
I can recall people saying "ya'know?" for literally my entire life. And that's literally for a really long time, brah.
Seriously, though, it's a very common thing for people to seek confirmation that they're being understood during conversations (even if they're spewing the incomprehensible gibberish of the typical Springer guest). Stock phrases like that also are used by people to give themselves time to think about what they're going to say next without handing control of the conversational flow to someone else. So the phrase is just a longer version of the classic "ummmm".
