Same reason middle aged men go uuuUUUUUUHHHHHHMMMM in the middle of their sentences - to prevent other people butting in when they need time to think. It's a filler word.


Used to be 'innit', d'innit?


In Singers they go 'laaaa'.


The kids won't even notice they are saying it in the same way that nobody realises they say 'uuumm' every seven or eight words until you record them and play it back.


If you're really interested, it was traced back to California's 'Valley Girl' speak - as brought to the world in the 1995 film 'Clueless'. It's white, middle class, ditzy and materialistic.

    • I've been using Homecert for all my electrical work at my flat in London for several years.  They have done small jobs like this one ( fitting a new security light to the patio) and big ones like fitting a new consumer unity, and also tricky ones like investigating and sorting out a problematic power circuit. They are extremely reliable and efficient and the work is always of a very high quality. Communications with the office are, in addition, excellent. Their work is economically reasonable and properly costed. I cannot see myself bothering with any other London electricians as long as Homecert exists
