y'know, like when, y'know someone is like, y'know, talking, and y'know, they keeping interrupting y'know, their like, sentences with, y'know, y'know.

Like, why?

It's a bugger to edit.

It does seem to be an increasingly common form of 'erm'. See also, 'like'. "So, like, yeah, it was all like this like, and then like I did that like."

On't intertubes, I'm getting increasingly chuffed off by people using 'lol' as punctuation. "Morning lol how are you lol I'm just going to the shops lol" What's so hilarious about shopping? Do these people spend all day laughing out loud? I'm surprised they've not been sectioned.

Also, people who append "y'know what I mean?" to every sentence. Perhaps they wouldn't need to keep asking if they made an effort not to talk such sh!t in the first place.

Speaking to a guy last night, before al of my sentences he said "yeah yeah" meaning that he'd understood I suppose, but it sound like he's not listening.

I hate lol. Even when some one sends you a joke, it's hardly ever lol, more [url=www.angry-feet.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=1486 ]MAS[/url].

Filled Pause. Same as 'umm', 'errr', 'like', etc. Most of us do it, especially if we don't want to be interrupted.
