Why do some people repeat words like “do you know what I mean?” over and over and over again the whole time whenever they talk? Do you know what I mean? Are they trying to gain thinking time? Why do they do it? And what other phrazes have you noticed other people repeating endlessly for no reason (besides how are you)? Do you know what I mean? Kind of? Basically?
I have a friend who used to do that. He doesn’t do it that much anymore. I started answering, “I know exactly what you mean,” each time he said it.
