A filler-word used in speech, especially when one is nervous. Used often by guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong in interviews.

Can be replaced with like, and stuff, um and sorta.

Time Magazine: 'How do you respond to people who say that Green Day isn't punk anymore? Have you changed your style in response to naysayers?'

Billie Joe Armstrong: 'The thing about any genre of music, if it's punk, if it's blues or jazz, there's... y'know or straight up rock n' roll...'

Y'know ahmen

A phrase uttered by select persons every ten seconds. Akin to "ummm" which is used by many people. AKA, a filler phrase.

"Y'know ahmen, that's not what I'm talking about."

"You have to do it this way, y'know ahmen?"

Y'know what?

Has recently become an over-used preface to completely unrelated following statement, typically used by stiff, grey people in a self-defeating attempt to appear individual or at least interesting. Fail

Client: "Zzzzz"
Building Surveyor: "I'm a senior director"
