    Never heard the phrase "in anyway" before. Is it specific to a certain region or something?

    Yeah all the AJH's say it.....(A.J.H. stands for Aaahhhh JJJaayyssuusss Hhhoowwiiyyaaaaaaa)...or otherwise known as "Howiya's". The inner city Dub. Which translates as follows.........

    "I was out on Freeday Neegh (which is Friday Night to any normal person), and i got bleedin hammered i did. the f*ckin c*nt of a doorman wouldn't let me in the place, so then me and me mate we there and then he turned around to me and he sez "ah here jaysus come on bud lets us in mate we're only goin for a few stiffs one then we'll be gone and all". And then i turned around to him and i sez "don't bleeding beg the f*ckin dope he's only a muppet in-all in-anyway". So then i went round with me mate to his gaff and he got us a few joints in all he did, bleedin deadly buzz it was in all in anyway like ya know like. Got bleeding locked i did, then a neighbour who lived next door to me mate he bleedin starts on me in all he does and i turned around to him and i sez i did i sez "here u! who do u bleeding htink ur talking to ya bleedin muppet! i'll f*ckin reef the head off ya u c*nt" I was gonna bleedin mill him out of it i was in all in anyways i was

HOW THE FUCK do we know what you're saying if you haven't even fuckin said it yourself yet??!!
    Everybody says "Like" when there's no need to say it, and also another word "Totally" is used alot although i don't hear it as much as all the other words and phrases. But in the last few weeks everyone is saying "Basically".....do they really know what that word means? I think they are just throwing it into their sentences to make their lines sound more longer and interesting, when in fact it is just a word that means nothing to that sentence and has no meaning in that sentence and should not be there.
    Another one is....."At the end of the day"....i fuckin hate this one.Also the word "Actually". As in someone saying "I'm actually going to the cinema tomorrow night", when they start a sentence. There is no need to say the word Actually in that sentence, just say "I'm going to the cinema tomorrow night". Unless they were already talking about the cinema then someone can say "I'm actually going to the cinema tomorrow night", but other than that there is no need. But the other ones "At the end of the day", "Like", "Basically", "you know, you know", "do you know what i mean?" really drive me mad cos they just say a few of those words and then think that they've spoken a sentence in which they expect an answer but how can you reply to someone like that? A prime example of it is this "I mean i was at the shop yesterday Rod and its just Like, Oh my God like, ya know ya know, like, i mean like, basically, - here's another two saying which are said by innercity Dubliners - And all, and also in anyway, there is no need to say the little word IN before Anyway, just say Anyway, and don't say And All, or the way its pronounced N all, or And Stuff, or And shit, at the end of the sentence, bascically totally at the end of the day like, do ya know what i mean like?

    What the fuck was that supposed to be?? Talk properly for fucks sake u dickheads!!!!

    It can be worse when English is not the native language. I have seen some not English native speaker incorporating "You know what I mean?" to their vocabulary (without saying anything really) and I just can't stand it. Mean what you say and say what you mean
