I know, Right?

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

Who else enjoys looking like an idiot when they wish to express their interest in a subject or acknowledge an associate's shared interest in said subject? Hmm?
Has anyone else noticed how prolific this nonsensical statement has become?
Where the s*** did it come from?

Can I complete this post using only questions?

Is four loko really as bad for you as they say?

Will whomever actually does answer these questions please punch me because I don't think I can st....aw f***.

Your last sentence was not in the form of a query.

mofo, what?

That paragraph was less coherent than a Jackson Pollack with glitter dumped on it.

I *HATE* when someone says, "I know, right?" to agree with something.

I think it's a New Jersey thing. We're screwed.

Honto ne?

I prefer "I know right?" to "Right, I know." One sounds affirmative and conciliatory, the other dismissive and snarky. The first makes me want to to roll my eyes. The second makes me want to roll theirs with a smack in the head.

I like when Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, and James May open a statement with "Right..."

It conveys neither agreement or contention. Its just a dangling word. Its almost condescending, which makes it awesome.

[AZhitman]

I think it's supposed to mean, "You're too dumb to comprehend what I'm about to say, but I'm going to say it anyway because I'm a pompous Englishman."



It's far cooler when the Aussies do it.

Right? I have lived in the armpit my entire life and I approve this message...as it was quoted.

The Asian version of "I know, Right" is "Yea". You dont really notice it at first, but after a while, it gets rather frustrating when you say something like:
"Yan, where did you put the current configuration file?"
"Yea."

"Johnny, how did you do this install, I'm being sent on site and need to do some maintenance?"
"Yea."

"Don, where do you wanna go for lunch?
"Yea."
"NO, NOT YEA, THIS IS NOT A YES OR NO QUESTION!"

I think much depends on what exit you live near ...

I can pretty confidently say I've NEVER said "I know, right" in my life.

I like when Richard Hammond, Jeremy Clarkson, and James May open a statement with "Right..."

It's an English thing. It works sort of like "So..." or "Anyway...".
Sometimes it's used along with "so" as well.

And yes, it's great.

Im in Morris County, Rockaway. We have a little bit of everything NJ has to offer here.

My 16 year old sister-in-laws(twins) both use it all the time though, along with every short hand term in the world today, which drives me insane. The funny thing is the main one that does it all the time posted this yesterday, after months of typing exactly as she complains here:

Tyyyyppinnggg statusssss likeeee thiss, make you look like a retard. You went to school, or your in it. So act like it. Our generation are considered stupid because of things like that. And you wonder why no one takes you serious.

She received 11 replies, within an hour, pointing out every single error in her grammar.

Teenagers these days... it just amazes me that to be smart kids, they make themselves look so dumb

I had a professor who finished every sentence with "Do you follow?"

I've been tempted to use that in everyday situations.

"I'd like a ham and cheese melt with an orance juice, do you follow?"

I really like it when you ask someone a question and they repeat everything you asked them in a flat tone. Like anything that you say to them has to be put in their own voice to be understood...

[s0m3th1ngAZ]

I don't even remember posting this...but, good thread topic anyways
It's almost as bad as the people who go "really" all the time.

WORD?

Pretty tell-tale sign of dishonesty. It's a subconscious stalling tactic.
