But I do know what you mean. I say "got it?" all the time.

"Oh, and bring me a banana cognac, biatch!" is a nice way to finish that conversation.

Mine is "Fuck Yeah." I am able to curb the habit in mixed company.

I say "there you go". I only recently realized how much that sucks.

Mine is "Does that make sense?" I don't know where the hell I picked it up but it makes me want to rip my own tongue out every time I say it.

But I seem to have successfully rid myself of my excessive use of finger quotes.

I have a "problem" with this also.

Are you from the Boston suburbs?

An old roommate would say this constantly!!! She spent every night on the phone telling the same story to 3 or 4 different people, punctuating every statement with "Know what I mean?". When she got off the phone she would proceed to tell me the same story like I hadn't already heard it 4 times. I used to throw her off when I would cut to the chase and ask a question that would jump to the end of the story. She thought I was psychic. Idiot.

A friend of mine also says this a lot, but since I only see her sporadically and usually with a crowd of people it's not as annoying.

I just thought someone should acknowledge this post. I think Liz Phair should use it in a song.

I told my friends to slap my hands every time they saw me do it. I was disturbed by how many friends refused to slap me around for my own good. What kind of friend won't help you rid yourself of an annoying habit?

Hopefully you have better friends than I.

I had to lose the "Shit ya" when I started at the law firm.

As well as the "Fuck 'em if they can't take a joke" response to any criticism.

It's not easy. I'd suggest wearing your favorite hairshirt equivalent for a few days to remind you constantly of the need to stop. Going casual was a problem for me, because I went back to "Shit ya" and "Fuck 'em" instinctively.

Well, I'm into S&M so most of my friends slap/spank me regularly anyway.

FUCK YEAH.

Wonk, a little bunny told me that when balty left, a new poster registered as Beaker. If anyone asks, I didn't say anything.

Funny, it was the opposite for me. The firm even gave me a practice manual and shit.

Well, if the rabbit didn't die what's Wonk getting so wound up about?

I should have mentioned that I don't use the phrase in the annoying Boston manner. I have lost (most of) my annoying Northeast affectations in the last 15 years away from that part of the country. Wicked pissah, indeed. Now people tend to think that I'm from Canada. And we all know what a huge compliment that is.
