"Ya know"

diomed

Why must every player, or official of our national sports say "Ya Know"? Should television stations beep out the words?

Sonia O'Sullivan says it every sentence.

its just like F1 drivers with 'for sure'.

Ya know is the same as basically.... Filler while their brain catches up with their mouth.

A new one i heard this morning is I suppose. Deirdre Hearney, FF Councillor for North Dublin used about 50 times in an interview on Newstalk earlier on. That alone would give me a reason not to vote for her.

Lovely Bloke

The Purveyor of Truth

Ya know, it's proven that second-hand smoke is, uh, carcin-... uh, ya know, cancer related.

Former Clare hurler Christy O'Connor said it over 200 times in a recent interview on Newstalk. Three times in a row at one stage with little pause between. It made for really annoying listening.

Its as though the words 'ya know' get thrown in there as a substitute for 'eh' and 'em' type pauses that mean nothing but it actually sounds worse.

Is it a uniquely Irish thing? For a nation so good with words public speaking isn't our strong point

stefan idiot jones

Wait until you hear a Scotsman speaking, ya ken? ken?

Davarus Walrus

Sean Moncrieff uses ahh about 11 thousand times per hour when presenting his radio show. It's still a good show though.

As I said, and again, I suppose, sure, well, you know yourself.

Adamantium

Include "That's that" on the list, for people who can't handle silence or don't want to mull over an awkward/good point for too long

solomafioso

Ah ya know, like. Hah! La?

"YES, I do know".

That's how I'd respond to these scumbag 'ya-know-ers'. Catch them off guard and play them at their own game, see how they like it.

Surely ta God If they bleebed them out there'd be nothin left to hear

A recent tendency has emerged to put a superfluous "So" at the beginning of a sentence. Not among the GAA classes though.

Where did you go on your holidays? So, we went to Spain. What time is it please. So, it's 11.40.
