"Ya know"

kincsem

I was watching the camogie on RTE this afternoon.
The GAA studio commentators and the banisteoirs could not speak without sprinkling every sentence with "ya know".
Is this just a GAA thing?

I think the GAA thing is to start an answer with "now look it" or something like that.

No it's not. It's everywhere you know.

Sonia O'Sullivan is desperate for it aswell!

Not a GAA thing. I can barely finish a sentenced without it. I don't even notice I'm doing it, and I've never watched GAA match in my life.

I wish I was a camogie banisteoir.
I would pull the ****ing cock off myself every single night after they've finished having their showers.
I wouldn't have a wife or girlfriend to welcome me home after training, just tissues and the greatest **** bank on the island.

I prefer "Well ya know", just before I start spouting some long-winded explanation of how I managed to get myself into and out of a predicament.

Well, ya know what, I cannot stand people that nit pick little sayings. Sure, don't we have all sorts of little ones, in fairness. I don't know, isn't it just how we speak at the end of the day.

I these sort of things tend to catch on within a certain group. Certainly not limited to GAA commentators anyway...

I always remember Dara Ó Briain and his saying "eh" at the end of everything. He managed to stamp it out for the most part, so I reckon it's normally a habit that's been picked up.

One of the most successful trainers of all time. But yes, feel free to judge him for an interview you saw over the weekend.

Similarly, footballers always seem to begin their answer with "At the end of the day..." when being interviewed after a match.

Ya know?

It's unfair to pick on the "you know" camp - what about the others who utter the start of an interview with "Well,......"

fasttalkerchat

Welll you know yourself like, ...

Dont forget about certain players having no right to be in certain positions. He has no right to win that ball?
