I teach in America so this is pretty much a daily thing for me. I have one student where the quote above would actually be zero exaggeration at all how she talks. I eventually told her once to stop, think about what you want to say, and THEN say it clearly without the you knows and likes. She was delighted when she just said something coherent, it was like it had never occurred to her to try this before.

'Hon the boys'
'Hon the lads'
'Hon the town'

I really don't know what 'Hon' means but I've been told it's Bebospeak for 'Come on the boys' etc.

Anyone know what the expression means ?

You just said what it means in the previous sentence.

Similarly anyone who calls St Patrick's Day "Paddy's Day", "Patty's Day" or worst of all "Whacker's Day".

Only thing worse is people who refer to themselves in the third person. You'd never catch Trashcan doing that sort of thing, oh no.
