File this under “Annoying, Juvenile Terms of Speech That Make You Sound Like an Idiot”
Like the public-school-educated teenage girls and boys (or is that “girlz” and “boyz”?) who speak as though every single sentence is a question….? It’s a fact? I hope that goes away real soon?
And the annoying beyond all annoying things in which kids use the word “like” at least 80 times per sentence, even using it to reiterate something they said to someone else (”…Im like ‘hay can u stopp sayin like all the tiem?’ And then there like ‘no ur stupid bcuz u liek sarah paylen’… “)
CBC news anchor Suhana Meharchand this morning:
“…you know what I popped the kinds the car and took them along Yonge Street waving our Canadian flags…”
No, Mizzzzz Meharchand, I did not know what. Now I do know what, several times over, since Meharchand now says “you know what” over and over in her news delivery. On the plus side, I now know the groovy-trend-code phrase for what we used to call “sweet bugger all”. And of course since I don’t watch the CBC as a rule, I actually already know way more than what, and learned it not at taxpayer expense!
This “you know what” is starting to push the grating needle to levels reached only by that equally grating CBC anchor Nancy Wilson, who said “very interesting” at least 800 times per day.
This blog entry was not important. But now you know more than what.
