Everyone has their own verbal tics…
And once you notice them, you can’t stop hearing them…
So the other day I decided to write down some that had been bugging me.
~kind of
~style
~type
Really (or doubled up: really, really)
Like, you know
Because & ~’cause
And so on. It’s really fun, so try listening for them! ★
I tried out that rumored “what do you think?” phrase the other day at Setagaya Naps.
I went to try on a helmet and said, “After all, this AGV is light, right? It’s banned on public roads, but this lightness is really appealing—what do you think?”
What do you think?”
“Yeah, well, it’s limited quantity, and when you think about the color options and the price point, it’s kind of like, what do you think, you know?”
What the heck—I didn’t understand a word, but we were cracking up—hahahaha!
Deep down, it totally caught on! ♪
That’s all! Pokidam
