Fun with filler words: A beer-drinking game based on a speaker using the phrase “you know”

 


 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lewis Black’s Rantcast # 191 | The Emmys has a rant sent in by Garret Cheney in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. (WARNING: Lewis’s language is Not Safe for Work – NSFW). Instead of getting upset by speakers using filler words, just get a cheap beer and take a drink every time you hear them said.  

 

Back on November 10, 2010 I blogged about another phrase in a post titled But, umm. In the TV show How I Met Your Mother, which included Cobie Smulders as Robin Scherbatsky, there was an episode titled Jenkins with a plot described on IMDB as follows:

 

“Meanwhile, Robin encounters fans of her pre-morning news show. When she met the boys at the college bar, one of Ted's students Scotty (Andrew Lewis Caldwell) comes over to tell her that he's a big fan of her work. Full of pride, she interrupts Ted's class the next day to loudly announce that she is the host of the show. After she leaves, the class explains that they are fans because her show comes on as their night of drinking is coming to an end (Her show is so early in the morning that the class is still at the bar from previous night), and her interjection, ‘but...umm’ is the basis for a drinking game (whenever Robin says this, the students take a drink).”

 

The beer glass was adapted from here at Openclipart.
