Really? You start a f***ing post on a running page about a seldom use, end of sentence exclamation? Step away from the peanut butter and your dog and step outside you parents basement.

I am more annoyed at people who don't get their your/you're, than/then, there/their/they're straight.
Pretty common expression in prison. "You know what im sayin"

It is decidedly NOT a "Valley Girl" expression.
The origins of that phrase are urban black culture.
The phrase can be used several different ways depending on intonation, inflection, and presence or lack of "upspeak."
The two most frequent ways it is used is to intimidate or emphasize agreement, and as a plea for sympathetic agreement.
Here's what happens when someone says it too many times.
'm sayin'?
Actually this one says it better.
I dont think there's anything wrong with it. All the person is trying to do is check understanding in a friendly way. It's exactly like saying "ya feel me" when an inner city individual talks about hardships of thug life.
it is a measure of control, to assure that you are plugged in and paying attention, you know what I mean? Bob your f'ing head or I will not proceed.
At the end of the day - is like quotation marks to make sure you will be paying attention for the big payoff line - know what I mean? because at the end of the day, we just want to be paid attention to. The funny hidden phrase many people say, particularly Canadians is - ya/no. If you ask them a question or make a statement that is a negative but they agree with, they answer ya/no.
Agreeing with your negative assessment. That chick was not crazy right? Ya/no, she was not crazy at all. Just covering all bases, you know what I mean?
Obviously they don't know what they are saying, and are hoping you'll tell them. Their speech outpaces their own listening comprehension. The polite thing to do is to summarize what they've said for them. Don't just leave them babbling.
because that's what champions do.
Does this thread predate the south park bottom bitch episode?
It is what it is. Just sayin'
What "THEIR" saying??
Yeah. Sure.
Not sure bc I Really like to say “you know?”. Much shorter and to the point.
I always yell "Bump!" when revisiting a previous conversation with my friends.
That said, at the end of the day... it is what it is.
Posted in this thread 10 years ago, but it's still good:
may i add "all in all"?
oui, n'est-ce pas
Because of that dumb blank look on your face?
Worse is when people start a statement with “again”, even though it’s the first time they ever said the statement.
