You know WHATEVER

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy!

Saying WHAT or YOU KNOW every time you open your mouth.

Spit it out. If don’t know what the heck you want to say, then just hold your tongue for a moment and formualte a thought.

But if you say, WHAT or UMMM or YOU KNOW one more time, I’m going to shove a tooth pick in my eye.

According to a poll by the Marist Institute for Public Opinion :Nearly half of Americans surveyed said they find “whatever” to be the most annoying word or phrase uttered by dumb-America.

WHATEVER!

Whatever means I’m ignoring you with attitude!

WHATEVER means I don’t care what you say lamb chop.

WHATEVER means, you think I am wasting your time.

Yeah, Whatever!

That brings me to the phrase YOU KNOW.

YOU KNOW is OK if you are shooting a movie entitled FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH and you’re a surfer dude named SPICOLI, but if you aren’t smoking bongs and talking to Mr. Hand, then take your YOU KNOW and cram it.

All of this is a verbal crutch that people throw into a sentence to give them a fraction of a second more to think. Will that nano-second really allow their brain to saturate a complete thought? Doubtful!

You know tells me you are stoned or mentally inebriated. You Know seems innocuous enough, but YOU KNOW can mean you really don’t know.

Don’t think any of this blather matters?

WHATEVER!

It does freaking matter. People judge you by what you say, how you say it, and whether you even say it at all.

Politico.com counted Caroline Kennedy using “you know” 142 times in an interview with The New York Times.

YOU KNOW once, twice, three times a lady! OK I get you know once in a blue moon, sprinkled on like so much salt on crispy fries.

But you say YOU KNOW 142 times in one interview with the L.A. Times and thats it; game set match.

According to the interview, she uses the phrase four times in one sentence. That is like bringing a jack hammer to a maximizing your use of unnecessary words in one sentence.

“You know, I can tell you, you know, in my family, you know, there was a sense, you know, we have to work twice as hard,” she said.

YOU KNOW knocked her out of contention for Senator of New York. If you are going to govern the Empire State you can grab your crotch, date hookers, and scream FUNGU with the back of your hand under your chin, but say YOU KNOW 142 times and you might as go for a swim in the Hudson with cement flippers.

Like your momma always told you: think before you speak. Say what you mean and mean what you say.

and that is crazy!
