  • Years ago I met an American girl studying in Spain, from time to time she would end a sentence in Spanish with 'you know'. Seemed to be completely unaware of it.

    Maybe it was "yo no", as in "yo no soy marinero, soy capitan, soy capitan" ?

    "LIKE".... an incredibly annoying Americanism that has infected the young un's now. Some of them cant string a sentence together without saying "like" several times.

    "I was like, so mad at him, like, he just like, doesnt know when to like....."

    I didn't know it was an Americanism, for years I've heard this in Derry/Londonderry and it's pronounced "lick"

    "Do ye know what I mean lick"?
