This is kind of a tough one…..but I would have to go with “you know” as a phrase. I catch myself using it all the time and it drives me crazy, but it is very handy as a colloquial saying. I hear so many “you know’s” a day that I really start to doubt whether I actually do know. What is it I should know? When did I know it? What will be expected of me now that, “I know”? What happens if I actually don’t know? Will someone come and be disappointed in me or something? Will my 3rd grade teacher search me out and give me a look of proud dissatisfaction?

I am getting stressed out just thinking about “you know” as a phrase. It could mean a hundred different things and nothing at all, you know what I mean?
