" know-hows "

 [ "know-how" ]

1: The knowledge and skill required to do something correctly.

  * e.g.,  ... The company has a satisfying technical know-how. 

 [ "God knows how long" ]

1: A thing so long you cannot describe it. Almost infinite amounts of longness. The "long" can also be replaced with other words like "short", "red", "sexy", and etc.

  * e.g.,  ... "That tube is god knows how long." 

 [ "Don't know how to act" ]

1: When something (an environment or event) gets you so excited that you do something outrageous in reaction. Origin is possibly from the Flo Rida song of the same name.

  * e.g.,  ... "Look at you - first 50 degree day after winter and you aren't wearing a jacket - you don't know how to act..." 

 [ "you know how it is" ]

1: A common phrase used to replace the outdated “That’s what she said” pun. You know how it is can be tacked on to any sentence, word, or phrase, that alludes to sexual or inappropriate context.

  * e.g.,  ... John: “Man, that was really hard....you know how it is” 

 [ "Oh, I know how it works" ]

1: The statement used after being told how something works or functions. Even if you may or may not know how this something works or functions, use the statement anyways to cause laughter.

  * e.g.,  ... "We're going to have a surprise party; where every one will hide and when the birthday girl arrives we will jump out and yell surprise!" Nearly interrupt the previous statement with: "---Oh, I know how it works." 

 [ "you know how we do" ]

1: What a member of a group would say to suggest that some behavior is the group style, or that it's the way they usually do things. Usually said with anything from excitement to modesty, it is the response for anything from a compliment to disgust to total disbelief.

  * e.g.,  ... Was that you guys last night, outside the police station? 

 [ "i don't know how to respond to that" ]

1: When someone either genuinely does not know how to respond to something or is trying to avoid the topic of conversation. Often used to make situations awkward, and can be used to end conversations.

 [ "you know how i roll" ]

1: The way you are or the path you choose

  * e.g.,  ... you know how i roll - you know thats what i do 

 [ "you know how I do" ]

1:  The catch-all phrase for expressing approval of someone's admiration of your present action. Also used to express that a present state or action is so oft-repeated, it is as habit to the speaker.

  * e.g.,  ... 1a. "You got with dem 22s on yo ride, man? That's gangsta." 

 [ "you know how I do" ]

2: See That's how I roll and that's how we do

  * e.g.,  ... "Act like you know, man. You know how I do." 

 [ "you know how we do" ]

  * e.g.,  ... I can't believe you guys were at O'Mally's until 5:30 last night! That's insane!
