what’s horrible is the use of “youknowwhaddimean” like it’s one word (variation: “seewhaddimean” and “yaknow”)… and they also aren’t ever asking you if you really know, they’re just sticking it in there so you can feel like you’re part of their rant.
I also like “orientated” … so many people say it thinking that they sound sophisticated. it’s ORIENTED.
