They keep telling us things, prompting agreement as if we don’t always agree, which we don’t . . .

Going on about covering you-know-what, Fr. H. observes:

Considering the Meejah [say it fast, figure it out] more generally, I have to say that our TV has very little news apart from members of the chattering classes endlessly pontificating about you-know-what.

Some of them say “Y’know” as many as five times in a single sentence. I feel like shouting at the screen “I do NOT know”.

It’s the most common tic around.
