The east knows this.

A phrase coined by Candace Owens in a nonsensical tweet reinforcing toxic masculinity: "There is no society that can survive without strong men. The East knows this."

Colloquially, it can be used following a statement of opinion presented as fact, especially when the opinion does not make sense.

"Orange juice is better than apple juice, the east knows this!"
"It's so obvious that Avril Levine is dead and was replaced by a look alike. The east knows this."

Know-It-All

Someone who thinks they know everything that is to be known. They argue about things that they have no knowledge about. They either act like they know or they really believe they know what they are talking about on any given subject. They are arrogant and believe they are always right. See arrogant, hard-headed

I know what a know-it-all is because I am one.

Know me

A term used when someone is particularly proud of her accomplishments. Another version meaning the same thing is the phrase "Know the girl." While the phrase is specific to females, it may also be used by homosexual males who feel particularly inclined.

Etymology: originates from the song "NoMEE" by TOB. Due to poor education, most people writing out the phrase have assumed that the spelling is "know me" instead of "NoMEE" as original to the song found on Youtube.

"I just blew 5 guys behind the gas station last night. Got 5 dollars a piece for it. Know me!"

"Look at my new hair gurrll, just bought it at the beauty shop down the street. This shit look good right? Know the girl!"

you know

1. Substitution for something not to be said out loud.
2. Substitution for something that cannot be thought of at the present moment.
3. Question, literally meaning either
i. "Are you still listening?"
or ii. "Do you think you understand?" (informal)

1. - You want me to ... you know ... ?

2. - So I decided to give her that thing.
- What thing?
- The thing, you know.
3. - She didn't like the thing, so she dumped me. You know?

you know

1. When used as a question: Same as, "Know what I'm saying?"

2. When used right before a giggle or titter: Something that is to embarassing or "icky" to bring up directly in conversation.

3. When used by a criminal or psychotic: You understand and have knowings of the insane/ socially unacceptable/ depravedly criminal/ inhumane/ abasedly amoral things I have done. Now I must kill you.

1. So then I just had to bust a cap, you know?

2. Then he showed me his... you know *giggle*.

3. You KNOW! *Lunges at you with a knife*

know it all

pejorative One who makes it appear as if they're an expert on a subject while there are also signals (subtly or blatantly noticeable) that this person doesn't know very much on the subject or at least as much as they're acting like they do on the subject; pretending to have much knowledge on a subject matter

(Note: there are countless ways to seem knowledgeable on a subject as by behaving correctively and correcting people all the time, giving unwanted advice, expressing opinions as fact, not accepting advice or information from others, etc., but when there are also indicators that one doesn't know what they're talking about, they're considered a know it all or engaging in know it all behavior)

"Even though I'm only fifteen and I've never held a job before I want you to listen to me carefully; on your interview, if you're not sitting cross legged, they won't hire you. If you don't nod, they won't hire you. Employers hate when you don't wear a tie. Companies these days aren't into what's on your application. Employers these days are real into the whole look aspect of it all. Take it from me," said my know it all son before I handed him his schoolbag and replied, "Shut up and go to school, dear!"

I found it shocking that some know it all bum out on the street was telling me how to handle my taxes the right way.

I try very hard not to seem like a know it all when discussing scientific matters; I provide evidence and back up what I'm saying and explain to others of my college experience in the field. That way, people regard me as knowledgeable and not a know it all.
