Often accompanied by someone playing a few seconds of the song titled "Sicko Mode" by Travis Scott, they are the cursed words every single McDonald’s employee had to listen to day in and day out every single day between September 8th and October 4th 2020 when excited customers came to order the meal at their local McDonald’s, some even visiting several as they reportedly had shortages on common items found in the meal due to the popularity of the promotion. If you’d like to see some of this madness for yourself, search up "you know why I’m here" on YouTube. (Without the quotation marks.)
McDonald’s employee: Hi, welcome to McDonald’s can I take your order?

Customer: You know why I’m here. (plays Sicko Mode)

Employee: *sighs internally* You want some Sprite with that?

Customer: Yeah.

you know what I mean? 

Phrase used by the inarticulate and dimwitted as a comma and to buy time and cover their lack of knowledge of a subject on which they have decided to speak and the resulting insecurity this engenders.

It is particularly irritating in sportspeople, presenters and commentators as they are paid way in excess of the average salary of their audience precisley to tell them what it is they mean. The unspoken assumption is that the audience are already well aware of the 'gem of wisdom' or 'fact' (or see cliche) imparted by the 'expert' and that there really is no need to pay him or her £5000 an episode to provide such insightless insights.

you know why. 

This is what you say after you punch and/or kick a guy in the balls. This is a good revenge to use on douchebags. Here's what you do:

Knock on douchebag's door.

When douchebag answers, come at him like a spider monkey- a deranged, rabid spider monkey.

Punch/kick him right in the nuts.

As he writhes on the floor and cries, "Whhhhyyyy??!?!?!", You point at him and yell very scarily, "YOU KNOW WHY!!"

And he will know why.

Revenge accomplished!
How to correctly carry out a "you know why."

Dave (answers door): Oh, hi..
(Sara, crazy eyes and all, punches Dave in the nutsack)
Dave (falling to the floor): WWWWWHYY?
Sara: YOU KNOW WHY!
