I collaborated on another video with Tom Scott!
"Hello!" "Thank you!" "You're welcome!" These are all phatic expressions, and people can argue about them.

Since October I've really taken control of my life and at the risk of making some kind of phatic post I cant reccomend committing yourself fully, to something you love , enough. For ages I was occupying myself soley with menial things , the happiness of other people and using going out as a distraction. Its easy to do that as you can hide from yourself and what you want. I despise online inspo posts as i find them ridiculous but i suppose im trying to be more honest and mark something whatever it is. #me #life #london #gothgoth #phatic #life #dowhatyalikem8 #backtobeingspooky
phatic
adjective | phat·ic | \ˈfa-tik\
of, relating to, or being speech used for social or emotive purposes rather than for communicating information
Last of the series of this award-winning sketch show.
The latest episode of John Finnemore’s Souvenir Programme (Episode 6, Series 7) has an excellent linguisticky bit starting at 16:42, featuring a character who’s a professor of linguistics and quite possibly the first time “phatic” has been used in a comedy sketch. You can listen on the BBC’s website for the next six weeks. The whole episode is also great, and also features a minor linguistic issue of word boundary phonetics in the denouement, which I won’t spoil here.
I think I might have called it a discourse marker rather than a phatic expression, but I’m not going to look a gift linguistic comedy sketch too much in the mouth. (Hey BBC, if you ever want future advice on linguistics for comedy sketch shows, feel free to email me.)
There’s also a great sketch from Episode 2, Series 7 (still online for 9 days), about Shakespeare Original Pronunciation.
