Can *ANY* professional athlete or popular singer string together three sentences in a row WITHOUT inserting "YOU KNOW" somewhere?!!!!!!

ARRRGGGHH!!!

"It was, LIKE, you know..." "...and then we went, LIKE, to McDonalds..."

Why is the word "LIKE" suddenly used as every fourth or fifth word in every single sentence by anyone under the age of 25?!!!

ARRGHHHH #2!!!!!

I Am SO guilty of this... it really bothers my friend because I even type it... i think maybe because he's 10 years older than me... and I am under 25

I just thought of two more!

Also, "hand me that ink pen."

Sorry, but that's the only kind of pen we have at work are those requiring "ink!"

I realize there are ballpoint pens, felt tip pens, fountain pens and gel pens.

Simply asking for a "pen" will do!

Oh! I forgot about this one! That drives me nuts, too! Plus, it seems that it's way more common down here in the south. With my close friends I'll usually reply with, "As opposed to what---a paint pen?"

Another thing I hate is when people say "pin" for both "pen" and "pin". Well now that I think about that, maybe that's why they say "ink pen"---so I'll know what they're talking about when they say, "Hand me that ink pin."

This is not what someone says, but what they print. It drives me nuts when one missuses an aprostrophy! (And I spelled it wrong to boot) Like when you see a sign that says "Sale on chip's today" ! As if the chips own the sale! Or a sign that says "Ice Cream-Many Flavor's" Any time it should just be plural, not possesive, and not a contraction!

"He/She is good people."

How about when people say "ya know what I'm saying?" after every sentence?

Yeah, we KNOW what you're saying! A bunch of nothing!
