💡 **Pro Tip!** 'You know what I mean?' can be used as a genuine question to check understanding, or sometimes, it is more of a rhetorical filler when you assume the other person *does* understand. The intonation often makes the difference! Try practicing with different tones to get a feel for its various nuances. 😉
