What is it that we
can’t talk to each other without repeating or redefining the statement we just
made?
“Did you hear what
I’m saying?” or “You know what I mean?” or even just “You know?” seems to be
thrown into the conversation as if we were speaking a foreign language to the
person who is listening to our vain expression to communicate.
Why don’t we just
repeat what we are saying as if the other person has a hearing aid? Why don’t
we just repeat what we are saying as if the other person has a hearing aid?
Perhaps we believe
the other person is too stupid to comprehend the before mentioned sentence
insulting their intelligence and perhaps personality.
Sure it is one of
those street phrases we pick up to copy making us hip but we don’t have to
repeat it.
“You know what I
mean?”

I know what you mean. But did you hear what I was sayin'?
