This is not a post about the gun control controversy or the or the abortion controversy or illegal immigrants or corrupt politicians or any other of the myriad of controversies. No this is about one of my pet peeves. What I affectionately call brain burps. 

 

When someone is talking and they constantly pepper their colloquy with 'you know' or 'like'. Example: Glad you ask that question. Like I think that like people should you know like not try to you know berate people that you know can't think in full thoughts so they interject like other useless words so you know they sound smarter. 

 

First of all when did like become a word to be tossed in at leisure where it fits as well as a paid woman of pleasure fits into leading a traditional tent revival meeting. 

 

Also. if I knew then I would not have to ask the question, would I? You know. 

 

When conversing why can't you just convey your thought, opinion, or position without trying to insult me by saying I know or that I should like it. Like, you know what I mean?
