"You know?"

For the last 20 miles approaching the GW bridge on Saturday, we listened to an interview with some expert on immigration from NPR.

He would often say, "you know?" three times in a sentence. It was so annoying I almost hit the toll booth.

Half way across the bridge turned on an interview with a music historian. He said "you know?" in every other sentence and his interviewer started doing it too.

From there until the Connecticut line, about every person on NPR said "you know?' much more than anyone should ever say it.

It was a outbreak of you-know-?-virus.

I took a vow to never say, "you know?" again--though I don't think I say it more than once a week as it is.

You should stop too. You know?
