Back in the late 50's, early 60's there was an expression "don't cha know" that ended most sentences. My brother was a drummer/song writer and he co-authored a song with David Box, their lead singer, titled "Don't Cha Know". It was recorded by David and their band, The Ravens. It became a big hit in England. Ironically, like Buddy Holly, David was killed in a plane crash not long after the band split. Both were Lubbock, TX boys. My brother went on to work in the record business in CA (distribution), and the bass player is currently a Lutheran minister in CA (hard to imagine that). My brother passed away in 2011.
Maybe someone can capitalize on some of today's expressions, "don't cha know"?
