I remember watching one interview with Ewa Drzyzga and another woman. Well, I was passively listening really. The woman couldn't stop saying 'po prostu' and it really grew irritating. It was uncanny just how often she said it. I often hear it in interviews and it really cuts through me. The mute button is never too far away :)

Is it just me or has anyone else noticed this?

I actually agree with Seanus, the woman was probably nervous about an interview too and it made her keep saying thing over and over again. Can you share a link with us or was it on tv?

It was on Polish tv. She was a little worried-looking and that's likely the main reason :)

Like peoples in English don't say those senseless things at all, Mr. Seanus? :)

Ones I was waiting in the doctor's office and one teenage girl next to me kept saying over and over the phone 'and I was like ...' and 'and she was like ...'. After 15 minutes I was ready to murder her. Only my Bose headphones saved her life.

I think I was quite near there for an interview. Clapham is near there, right? I'm not too cluey on London, I just know the main parts.

Po prostu, byłem w Londynie tylko 4 razy.

I thought it was on the same trainline. Up in Aberdeen we have a reasonable amount of black people but Clapham was a real eye-opener. Po prostu, cos niesamowitego.

Oh, BISON ;)
