The use of ‘I know, right?’ Right? Right? drives me inane as well.

Thanks for the video. It’s sorely needed.

Ya-know is a major part of the vocabulary of the “majority” of NBA players during their interviews.

The prominent one I noticed is beginning every sentence with “I mean...”.

I find it really annoying when someone uses an exaggerated version of the word “What.” Instead of simply saying “What?”, they say “Whhaaaatttt?”

They use the same words over and over. The word “like” and “basically” are used so many times in the course of a 60 second conversation that it seems that’s all they are saying.

And “literally.” How they live to say “literallehhh…” and most of the time, they misuse it. I cringe when I hear a zillennial say “literallehhh…”

The habit of dropping consonants is nauseating. “I di-nt say that.”

Uck - I hate that!

I also hate the hard ‘d’ for those words. “Did-ent” of “would-ent.”
