The usage of the word "ken" is going through the roof and is mainly used Inproperly.
eg "what's new, ken? NO
"whats new, you ken wit a mean? YES
"do you know that guy, ken? NO
"do you ken that guy? YES
Thanks for taking the time to read "ken" training and I hope you have success in the future.
Yours sincerely

1. ken - It literally means "know" in Scottish. Can also mean "know what i mean?" in Scottish.
Scottie: "Dae ye ken him?"
Translation: "Do you know him?"
Scottie: "It's fucked up, ken?"
Translation: "It's fucked up, know what i mean?"
2. Ken - Barbie's ex boyfriend, who has been rumored to have caused the relationship to end by having sex with Barbie's sister.

correct indeed, but totally properly would be "yi ken wit a mean" you could also through in "pal" at the end even if you don't know the guy.

How if they're all smooth? Or were your dolls "anatomically correct"?
On a side note, there's nothing like finding your sister's Sindy doll being gang raped by your action men.
