Like... you know?

People say the word 'like' too often in a sentence and sometimes it's followed by 'you know'
Expect 'an-duh' or uhh... to be part of that too. People do this... like all the time... you know?

I listen to local radio on the way to work (WBGG) and the morning talk show announcer is a seasoned professional. He's been doing this kind of work at least 20 years. If I had a wish, it would be to have someone sit him down and make him listen to his broadcasts. You're being evaluated and every stammer, stutter, saying like more than 2 times in a sentence will cost you. It's a buck a word buddy. Like, you need to straighten up... you know?

I have a friend who uses "You know" and I just say "No I don't know".

It seems that some people can't say a whole sentence without saying you know or like.
When you can't fill the airspace with something substantial, you have to fill it somehow. laugh
This is one of my pet peeves. How about Ya know what I mean? Or ya know what I'm talkin about? I feel like saying Aren't you in the process of telling me what you're talking about? If I knew what you're talking about I wouldn't be standing here listening.
Lately when I'm listening to the radio and someone's trying to explain something or answer a complex question I've started to count the number of times they say, uh, umm, like.
It's a pet peeve of mine too. or they have a certain greeting and they never deviate from it. We all know variety is the spice of life.
"How about Ya know what I mean?"

If they have to ask, then probably not.
