You don't say "Since when?" when you are neutrally seeking information. It is a challenge. Which is fine, but there's no point pretending you just "asked a question" and HotDamn rolled her eyes out of nowhere.
It's not difficult to imagine that two different groups could independently come up with the call, "You knooooow!" If it were a unique phrase like "Skee-wee!" then you could assume it was borrowed, but you just can't make that assumption about "You knoooow!"

To me, "since when" means "since when." Apparently PhiMu mistook what I meant as did the rest of you. But, I was only talking to PhiMu, so I'm only concerned with HER understanding what I meant.
I KNOW group(s) outside of PBS use that "call." In my previous post I said I had heard it used by one of the groups. So, it was never about my thinking she was lying.
Like I said, I'm going based on what I know of the GLO scene in Richmond, VA. If PhiMu is a product of that scene, I'm thinking my hunch is correct, that that "call" was borrowed from PBS.
Thanks for participating.....
