I am not particularly "street" with my language. I am not one of those people who feels it necessary to finish every sentence with 'innit, or d'ya know what I mean. Whilst getting my nails done at the weekend I discovered a new phrase, which is simply... "do you know".
At the weekend whilst getting my nails done I was making polite conversation with the nail lady asking her the usual questions, where does she live, how long has she been in the job, etc, etc, when I noticed her strange tendency to use the term. The conversations went something like this:
Nail lady: I was off ill last week.
Me: Oh no, poor you. What was wrong?
Nail lady: Well, you know antibiotics....
Me: Yeah
Nail lady: Well I had to take antibiotics because I had an ear infection.
Right
....
Me: So what does your boyfriend do then?
Nail lady: Umm, do you know management?
ME: Er, yes (I am familar with this term).
Nail lady: Well he works in business management.
I am seriously hoping this doesnt catch on.
