Cork folk and "you know"

[winsamsoon]

What is it with cork ones, everytime i hear a cork person being interviewed every second word seems to be "you" and the third seems to be "Know" . Graham canty was on today after the game and he exhibitted his version of it, though i have heard worse on tv eg sean og .Now it has been a while since i have been in cork but christ almighty if two cork dudes where in a bar conversing the amount of you knows would be staggering. Where does this come from??? and is it a recently new phenomenon.?

It's the same as northern people saying "like" or Ballymena people saying "hi". The "you know" thing did stand out a few times today for me to though.

It is indeed mindless crap, but I assumed the observation was made from Sunday's post-match interviews.

so  if he was wearing an 'interesting' hairstyle we could all discuss hairdressing without threat to our masculinity. Think i know how this works now/

though im as bad for keeping it going

Armagh people saying "boy" (pronounced BOI), Belfast spides people saying "mate" and certain parts of North Derry saying Sir (Pronounced SUR) after ever sentence are other examples.  Derry city spides also say "Hi" after every sentence.

This really is the "my head is melted with boredom thread"
