Kwim is a great phrase to use when talking to your friends or really just talking to anybody ever. It is a hip way of saying "know what I mean?". Pretty clever, eh?

Sometimes I feel like I'm trapped in a deep black abyss, kwim?

Kwim

(Know what I mean) Anything you want to say out loud but know you shouldn't because of the fallout so you look at a friend that might pick up the hint and just say kwim.

A not so bright girl hanging out after class flirting with the professor. Look at your friend and say kwim. They look and acknowledge they also think the girl is trying to get an A with a head nod.
