What is the deal with the saying " I know, right"

[MZEMS2]

Well, what is it with this goofy saying. What does it mean, or isn't it supposed to mean anything at all? It seems like more women and girls use it than guys. So, what is it? Sorry, just bored.

I've heard both use it. IMO, it's stupid and senseless and I grit my teeth every time I hear it!

I guess I don't hear that saying too much, but the one that gets under my skin is "Just saying". That one drives me nuts for some reason.

[russholio]

I do, indeed. I probably knew it before, I guess I'm just a glutton for punishment.

I can't stand that saying! Tiger Woods always said that when he was screwing up on and off the course. If ya know what I mean?Lol.

 

[polarisrider1]

I also get the "well yeah!" around my house with the "Right".

 

[MZEMS2]

Uh oh, I use "just sayin" a lot too. My wife says "it is what it is" all the time. She's more "hip" than I am I suppose. And for the younger ones sayin' "right" after everything you say.......that just means "yup, it went in this ear, and now it's comin' out that ear", "right". I hear that all the time too. It's gettin' hard to learn this new english language.

 

[russholio]

Strange thing is, I hear "I know, right?" more from adults than I do from kids....but I guess maybe it stands to reason since I'm around adults more than I am kids.
